Cucumbers are washed and soaked in cold water, where they should stay for about 5 hours. Remove the tops, and if the vegetables are larger, cut them into pieces to fit in the jar.
Each cucumber is pierced with a thick needle in several places and the pieces are arranged in the jar in a certain order. 2-3 cherry leaves are placed on the bottom. Arrange the cucumbers so that they fill the space tightly. Between them put sprigs of fresh dill, 5-6 pieces of horseradish, 5-6 grapes of unripe grapes. The jar is finished with cherry leaves.
Cucumbers are best styled in one-liter jars. For them, the best ratio is 1 tablespoon of sea salt. Pour the jar with fresh water to cover the cucumbers.
The jars are left in the light, but not in direct sunlight for about 5 days. The first 3 days are shaken. Initially, the brine is cloudy, but after a week it clears up. The sediment falls to the bottom.
The perfect sun cucumbers should be kept at a constant temperature, cool and dark.
