In the ProCurand Seniors' Residence Bölschestraße A special project was recently put into action: at the request of the residents of the Kurpark living area, cucumbers were pickled together, following an passed-down tradition. Everyone had a great deal of fun with it.
First, the cucumbers were soaked for 24 hours. The next day, the residents split into two groups. While one group cleaned the cucumbers and pricked small holes in them with needles, the other group dedicated themselves to chopping dill, onions, and garlic. Afterwards, cucumbers, dill, onions, and garlic were layered alternately into the pickling pot until it was full. Finally, a mixture of water, a little sugar, and spices was poured over the cucumbers. Now the cucumbers had to mature in the liquid. Patience was required. After a week, the time finally came: the tasting at dinner was scheduled. The result? Enthusiasm all round. Within a very short time, all the pickled cucumbers were eaten and it was clear: delicious!
