Malosol'nye Ogurtsy
Ingredients
24 cucumber
4 long
1 oz horseradish root
1 dill
9 clove garlic
1/4 lb parsley
3 1/2 tb salt
2 qts -water prepare the cucumbers following the instructions for brined cucumbers
1/2 dill a ring
1/2 horseradish
5/8 leaves on top
1/2 pickles upright
2 layers of cheesecloth
4 in cool
2 malossol cucumbers will be ready
Instructions
Because there is less salt in the brine than Brined Cucumbers, malossol cucumbers should be eaten sooner. Store the pickles on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator for 4-5 days, after which they will become either too salty (and turn into regular brined cucumbers) or, more likely, too soft and almost mushy. ----
