Cucumbers with Pepper
Description
A simple way to prepare for storage. Arrange cucumbers, peppers, and spices in sterile jars. You can add salt and sugar right away, or during the second pour. Pour boiling water over the jar of cucumbers and leave for 20 minutes. Drain the resulting brine. Bring the drained brine to a boil, then pour it over the cucumbers again. Seal the jars. The jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.

Pour boiling water over the cucumbers again, but first add vinegar to the jar. Seal the jars, turn them upside down until completely cool.
