Cooking process:
To begin with, I take ordinary lids on jars that do not require sterilization. I simply rinse them with boiling water, shake them and pour out the water.
Sterilization of lids is a topic of much debate; it is interesting to know your opinion on this matter.
Next, pour water into the pan, add 9% vinegar, a glass of vegetable oil and pour in 180 grams of sugar and 1.5 tablespoons of salt. I also add 250 grams of two different types of ketchup: ordinary tomato ketchup and chili. I mix everything thoroughly and the marinade is ready.
Now I cut the cucumbers: I cut off their ends and divide them into four parts. If the cucumbers are large, I also cut them in half for convenience.
