Sort cucumbers by size. Soak cucumbers for 5-6 hours in cold water. Then wash and trim the nozzles on both sides of the cucumbers.
Sterilized jars for pickled cucumbers as follows: I put a tablespoon in the jar so that the jar does not burst (the spoon takes some of the water temperature) and pour boiling water (approximately 1 cup), shake the jar so that the boiling water flows around the walls of the jar all around, then I dip the already warmed jar in a basin of boiling water and scroll it so that all the walls are surrounded by boiling water. I take the jar out of the boiling water - everything, it is ready for seaming. Put horseradish leaves, a few leaves of currant and cherry, 1 umbrella of dill, 1 bay leaf on the bottom of the jar.
Chop the garlic cloves into plates and place in a jar, add the hot pepper to taste and peppercorns.
Fill the prepared jars with cucumbers, laying them tightly to each other. I pour 1 teaspoon of mustard powder or mustard seeds into cucumbers (mustard will help to disinfect cucumbers). On top of the cucumbers put 1 umbrella of dill, 1 bay leaf, the remaining leaves of currants and cherries. 
Pour boiling water over cucumbers, cover with seals for lids (lids must first be boiled for a few minutes) and left to warm for 25-30 minutes.
Pour boiling water over the entire contents of the jar, roll up the lid, turn it upside down and wrap it until it cools completely. Crispy pickled cucumbers, cooked for the winter without sterilization, are quietly stored in the conditions of a city apartment (without the use of a cellar).
