Pickled Cucumber Brine

Pickled cucumber brine is traditionally a fundamental element of vinegar pickles, used in many countries around the world. It is particularly popular in Hungary and Eastern Europe, where homemade pickles are prepared according to family recipes. The combination of vinegar, salt and spices not only enhances the taste, but also plays a key role in preservation. Homemade pickled cucumber brine is ideal not only for cucumbers, but also for preserving other vegetables such as cauliflower or peppers.
