Lightly Salted Cucumbers in a Bag
Description
A homemade winter preserve. Once I learned how to make them, I started making them quite often! They’re a wonderful tangy addition to any side dish. For winter, it’s best to use the classic salting method. Unfortunately, these cucumbers don’t keep for long, so make them and eat them right away! Here’s how: the jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.

Prepare 2 clean bags. For reliability, I always use a double bag—one inside the other. Trim the ends off the cucumbers and place them in the bag.

Tie the bag shut and gently spread everything evenly, then shake and mix. Refrigerate the bag for 9–10 hours. During salting, you can shake it several times.
