Summer is not only a beach holiday, but also a time to prepare. I have no doubt that every housewife has her own recipes for making pickled cucumbers, but I think there are never many recipes. I recommend cooking cucumbers with zucchini.

- - 4 kg of cucumbers;
- - 2 kg of zucchini;
- - 2 pods of hot pepper;

- - dill umbrellas;

Instructions
Step 1
Rinse cucumbers and zucchini under running water. Trim the tips off the cucumbers. And cut the zucchini into rings.
Step 2
Prepare banks. Rinse thoroughly and sterilize in a water bath. Do not touch the covers yet.
Step 3
Cooking dill, leaves and garlic. Rinse the greens thoroughly under running water, peel the garlic.
Step 4
We begin to put in prepared jars. At the bottom there is an umbrella of dill, a leaf of cherry, currant, a small piece of horseradish, garlic and hot pepper. Next, put the cucumbers with zucchini.
Step 5
Pour water into a saucepan, bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Then carefully pour boiling water over the prepared jars of vegetables. Leave for 10 minutes, then drain the water from the cans into the sink. And we repeat the process - pour fresh water into a saucepan, boil it and pour it into jars. After 10 minutes, drain the water.
Step 6
Preparing the third fill. This will already be our marinade. We take salt at the rate of one dessert spoon of salt and 2 dessert spoons of sugar per jar. Add to boiling water and boil for 10 minutes, then add bay leaves.
Step 7
Add a few allspice peas and two cloves to the jars. Fill the jars with the prepared brine, so that the water pours out. Add one teaspoon of vinegar essence to each jar.
Step 8
We leave it to stand for 15 minutes, at this time we boil the metal lid. Cover and roll up. Turn it upside down and put it under the "fur coat" until it cools completely.
Step 9
After cooling down, you need to quickly place the jars in the basement or refrigerator.
