Place bay leaf, peppercorns, herbs (parsley and dill), and garlic cloves on the bottom of the jar. Garlic can be put in whole cloves or chopped, to your taste.
Place the cucumbers in a jar, trim the ends of the cucumbers if desired. Do not pack the vegetables too tightly, leave some space. Cover the cucumbers with cold salted water. If you like salted cucumbers with a sweet aftertaste, add sugar to the water - exactly half as much as salt.
Screw the jar of cucumbers with an iron lid using a seaming key. These lids will provide good sealing and will preserve the quality of the product for a long time. You can send the product for storage.
