   How to make an assortment of pickled cucumbers and cherry tomatoes for the winter? First, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Instead of horseradish leaves, you can add dill umbrellas, cherry or currant leaves. If you wish, you can also add peppercorns or some fresh hot peppers to the jars.

   Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and soak in cold water for a couple of hours to get rid of any bitterness.

   Rinse the jars well with soda and sterilize them along with the lids. Read about how to sterilize jars, as well as other interesting and useful information on this topic, in separate articles using the links at the end of the recipe. Place peeled garlic, washed horseradish leaves and bay leaves on the bottom of the jars.

   Pour salt and sugar into jars. I used 3 700 ml jars. That is, one jar contained a third of a cup. spoons of salt and 1 tbsp. spoon of sugar. Fill the jars to the top with boiling water a second time, add a third of a teaspoon of essence to each jar and roll up the lids.
