1. Prepare the ingredients. Cucumbers should be elastic, with pimples. They need to be thoroughly washed.

2. Get all the components for the marinade. The turmeric will give the cutting a beautiful shade and a special taste, but more than indicated in the recipe, it should not be placed, since unpleasant bitterness may appear.

4. Transfer the cutting into a bow convenient for mixing.

5. Chop the onion with quarters of the rings.

8. During this time, sterilize banks in any convenient way. For example, in the microwave-wash glass containers, leave a little (20-30 milliliters) of water at the bottom and put in a microwave for 3-4 minutes with maximum power. Boil the lids for 5 minutes. For convenience, it is desirable to purchase a wide funnel, which should be porn with boiling water.
