Pickled cucumbers with currants - an unusual and bright "fruit and berry" duet. A simple recipe keeps it safe. Do not abuse dill and put garlic. Currant leaves and berries, together with the stalks, will give the marinade astringency and a characteristic aroma.
In order for the cucumbers to remain dense and crispy, they must first be soaked briefly in cold water.
Sprigs of pickled berries are a wonderful savory appetizer that decorates any table, and a great spicy addition to meat dishes. A single filling retains the main amount of vitamins.
For a 1 liter jar you will need: 
1. Rinse the jar in water and put a washed horseradish leaf on its bottom - its juice will allow the cucumbers to remain crispy. We will also wash the cucumbers in water, but we won’t cut off their tails - put them whole into the container, trying to fill it in a circle, and leave room for berries at the top. Try to roll up purchased or picked vegetables immediately, otherwise they become lethargic and may then begin to ferment in conservation.
2. Fill the jar to the top with red currant berries, washed, but not peeled from the tails.
3. Boil water and pour boiling water into a jar. Cover with a lid and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
4. Then pour the water back into the saucepan, removing the tin lid and covering the jar with a lid with holes.
5. Add dill umbrellas, allspice peas, salt, granulated sugar, cloves to the water. Boil again, turn off the heat and pour 9% vinegar. Vinegar is poured into non-boiling water, otherwise you will not avoid a huge foam that stands out.
6. Pour the prepared marinade a second time over our workpiece and immediately cork with a lid.
7. Roll up with a conservation key and turn upside down, checking the tightness of the closure. We will transfer the bank to storage.
We will get pickled cucumbers with red currant for a solemn event or just to enjoy them from the heart!
1. The place where the tail adjoins the cucumber skin should be carefully rubbed with the corner of a kitchen sponge, and its soft side should be walked along the pimply surface of the vegetable. In all these places, adhering dirt can lurk, which, if not removed, will cause the lid to swell.
2. The currants will have to be washed just as thoroughly, but in a different way: the clusters are immersed in cool water, soaked for about 20 minutes, then carefully sorted out and pulled with fingers, then thrown into a colander. The purpose of this manipulation is to rid the twigs and berries of dried dirt and insects.
3. Throwing currants, intending to put cucumbers on a plate, is not worth it. It will serve as an original decor if you deliberately casually scatter it around the rim. Or maybe someone will taste an unusual delicacy and recognize the pickled berry as a good snack for strong alcohol. By the way, in ancient times, this role was assigned to soaked and slightly salted fruits. Note: when poured with marinade, vitamin C is preserved in any horticultural crops, although not completely, but in significant quantities.
4. Currant leaves will not interfere at all in such a winter preparation: together with horseradish, they will help the cucumbers to crunch even after a year in the brine. In addition, you can add oak.
