Let cucumbers sit for one hour with the colander over a bowl to catch liquid or set the colander in your kitchen sink. As you fill the jar with cucumbers remember to add more ingredients at the half way point and at the end of filling the jar with cucumbers.

Cucumbers in salt water. By staff writer last updated mar 31 2020 12 56 53 am et. When a cucumber is placed in a strong salt solution the resulting pickles are shriveled. This is because the cucumber tends to lose water when placed in such an environment.
Fermentation still occurs though at a rather slow rate. Whisk 3 tsp of salt into 2 cups of water until dissolved. Peel and slice 2 to 3 large cucumbers.
Place the cucumber slices in a container pour the salt water over the top of the cucumbers and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. When making fresh cucumbers saltwater soaking or brining is commonly used to remove excess water from cucumbers and add flavor to vegetables before pickling. Fresh cucumbers are soaked in a salt and water brine overnight before being packed into jars and covered with their final pickling liquid.
Layer cucumber slices in the bottom of a colander and sprinkle a generous pinch of salt over them. Place another layer of cucumbers over the first layer and salt again. Continue layers until all cucumbers are salted.
