Bring water, lpickling mixture, sugar, vinegar to a boil in a pot and cook for 5 minutes. Let the pickle cool. If you don't have a pot that is big enough to cook the whole pickle, you can cook it twice. The fastest way to cool the pickle is in a cold water bath.

3. Preparation of cucumbers
Wash the cucumbers well under running water. Put the clean ones as tightly as possible into the bottles. For preserving use different sizes of cucumbers (5-10 cm). Depending on the size, cucumbers can be placed whole or cutted lengthwise (larger 10-11 cm cucumbers). If necessary, you can also cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise (for about 10-11 cm big cucumbers). With this halves, you can fill the space above the larger cucumbers, which you placed whole. You can also combine whole cucumbers with cucumbers cutted lengthwise.
