2. Next, cut the tails of the cucumbers on both sides.
3. Then put the cucumbers in a large container. Then fill the cucumbers with water so that they are completely covered. In this form, leave the cucumbers for at least 4 hours, but better at night. So the cucumbers will acquire crispy properties, and excess bitterness will come out of them.

12. At the last stage of preparation, we lay out the cucumbers in a jar. We place the cucumbers very tightly, while using cucumbers of different sizes. On top, you can lay a sprig of dill and a piece of horseradish.
13. Next, you need to boil water and pour this water into a jar of cucumbers to the brim. We cover the cans with seaming lids and leave them to cool completely.
14. After cooling, drain the water from the cans. To do this, we put a special lid on the jar and drain the water into a common container.
15. The resulting brine should be boiled and spices added. After which we give the marinade again to boil and pour it hot into the jars. In this form, we twist the cans with seaming lids.
