Cucumbers

4 servings

Ingredients

• Cucumbers, half-grown and green (as needed)
• Salt (a little)

Instructions

1. Peel half-grown, still green, fresh cucumbers and quarter them lengthwise; cut out the already forming seed core, cut the quarters into desired pieces, salt, and let stand for several hours.
2. Drain on a sieve, fill into tin cans, fill with cold water, and boil the well-sealed cans continuously for 30-40 minutes in a water bath.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
