Basic recipe for Christmas goulash with pickles

Wash the cucumbers and cut into large cubes. Peel and roughly chop the onion and garlic cloves. Place all but 1/4 of the cucumbers in an airtight container (preserving jar). Add salt and spices. Close the jar and shake well. Open the jar again and add the remaining cucumbers, filling the jar to the brim. Then fill to the brim with water and reseal tightly. Let the cucumbers steep for at least 3 weeks. Be careful when opening, as the cucumbers can ferment slightly. However, the salt content will prevent them from spoiling.
