Vinegar replaces the red currant. It contains vitamins C, A and P - natural antioxidants. Cucumbers sort, wash, soak for 4-6 hours. After 2-3 hours we change the water. Garlic cloves are cut into 2 parts. Dill coarsely chopped. Berries are cleaned from branches, leaves, thoroughly washed. At the bottom of a clean, pre-sterilized jar we lay the seasoning, then vertically tightly cucumber with cut ends. At intervals between cucumbers we fill berries - 100-150 g per liter jar.
