How to save cucumbers

Strong saltiness will help neutralize sugar. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar to a jar of cucumbers. Put the lid on the jar and shake it gently. This will allow the sugar to be evenly distributed throughout the jar and dissolve faster. Then wait a few hours and enjoy your delicious pickles.
