This is an old Polish recipe of our friend's grandmother. According to the family tradition she made the best pickles.

Pickles
2 kg of cucumbers

marinate:
0.5 l of apple vinegar 6%
2.5l of water
3 tablespoons of salt
30-36 dkg of sugar (This is too sweet for us. I add less than a half of this.)
Boil all the ingredients of the marinate and cool it.

Put in every jar (0,9l): a bay leaf, a garlic clove cut in half, 2-3 slices of the carrot, two allspice berries, dill (a small umbel with seeds or a piece of the stalk), mustard seeds (on the top of a teaspoon), a few onion feathers. And: if you like, a piece of sweet or hot pepper.
Next put the cucumbers in the jar, pour the cold marinate and pasteurise until the cucumbers change color to olive color.
