The preparation season is in full swing and we are trying to make everything tastier and bigger. We made honeysuckle and victoria jam. We prepared eggplants and zucchini. We will eat all this in winter, remembering summer. They even made them. But today we will talk about another vegetable.
We all love to open a jar of cucumbers in the cold. You bite them, and they crunch so loudly. And the taste is such that you want more and more. You don’t even notice how half the jar is already left, or even completely empty. But of course I’m exaggerating a little, but it’s very similar to the truth!
These are suitable for both fried potatoes and just round boiled ones. Yes to any dish. Maybe someone eats them with soups? It’s just like we added brine to the hodgepodge. Cucumbers are good for any feast, because they are suitable as a snack for strong drinks.
There are a lot of pickling recipes and they are all different, some of which we have already prepared, these are cucumbers or. In this article I would like to continue this topic. And so that every housewife writes down in her book not just one option, but several. You've probably already tried my cooking methods, otherwise why write. Here I want to present recipes that can be made in containers of any size, the main thing is to maintain the proportions. The fruits will be crispy and firm. And the brine will not become cloudy! Let's get started?
It is better to choose small-sized fruits in such containers. This way more of them will come in, and they will be eaten much more readily than large ones. And it’s more convenient to prepare in small jars. I took it out, ate it and nothing stagnated in the refrigerator. Especially if you have a small family.
Ingredients for 2 1 liter jars:
- Cucumbers;
- Horseradish leaves – 1 pc.;
- Dill umbrellas – 2 pcs.;
- Bay leaf – 4 pcs.;
- Garlic – 4 cloves;
- Black peppercorns – 6 pcs.;
- Allspice – 4 pcs.;
- Sugar – 3 tbsp. l.;
- Salt – 2 tbsp. l.;
- Vinegar 70% – 2 tsp;
- Water – 1 l.
Preparation:
1. It is advisable to use freshly picked fruits, but this is not always possible. Place them in a large container and fill them with cold water for 1.5 – 2 hours. This way they will absorb the missing moisture, which will make them very crispy as a result. Then we wash them under running water and cut off the ends. For small ones, you can cut only on one side.
2. The jars also need to be thoroughly washed with soda or detergent. Also wash the greens. Peel the garlic.
3. Place garlic at the bottom of the container - you can cut it into two or four parts; green leaves; dill umbrellas; Bay leaf.
You can take any leaves: horseradish, cherry, currant or grape. This will only improve the taste.
4. Now add the cucumbers. Everyone does it in their own way: some standing, some lying down. There is no difference, but large ones will only enter in a standing position. The main thing is that they are close to each other. This way more of them will fit in, and there will be less space between them. Therefore, you will also need little brine.
5. Now let's prepare the brine. Pour water into the pan and add salt and sugar. We also add black and allspice. Put on fire and boil.
6. Pour 1 teaspoon of vinegar into each jar. Now pour boiling brine up to the neck. Even if it leaks a little. Cover with metal lids and place in a large saucepan with a towel on the bottom. Pour hot water into it up to the hangers of the cans and put it on the fire. After the water boils in the pan, we sterilize our workpiece for exactly 20 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the containers from the water and, without opening the lids, roll them up. Turn over and leave to cool as is.
This preservation can be stored in any dark place. If you did everything correctly, they will delight you with their appearance and taste for a long time.

Recipe for “Store-bought pickled cucumbers”:
Since I prepared these cucumbers last harvesting season, I did not photograph the entire process. That’s why I’m only posting the recipe itself. So, let's begin. The first thing to do is wash the jars and sterilize them; I also carry out this procedure with lids, it’s more reliable. We wash the cucumbers, put them in jars, I take small jars, mostly 1 and 1.5 liters. Boil water and pour boiling water into the jars of cucumbers and cover with lids, let cool. Before filling the jars with boiling water, I pour plain cold water into them and pour them into the pan in which I will prepare the marinade (to accurately determine the amount of marinade). If, for example, we have 5 jars of cucumbers, then that means the same amount of water (how much was with the cucumbers and multiplied by 5). After the water in the cucumbers has cooled, add 5-6 peppercorns, 1 teaspoon mustard beans, 1-2 bay leaves, 1-2 cloves garlic (but I prefer without it, fresh dill, leaves) into the jars. . Pour marinade over everything.
Marinade. For 1 liter of water you will need: 6 -8 tbsp. spoons of sugar (as you like - sweeter or not), 2 tbsp. spoons of salt, 2 tbsp. spoons of vinegar essence. Boil everything and pour into cucumbers. After pouring and rolling up the cucumbers, DO NOT COVER. them, this is done so that the cucumbers are crispy.
Well, that seems to be all! I hope you enjoy it and this recipe becomes your favorite! In my family, after the appearance of this recipe, over the winter they eat 100 cans of cucumbers and only 5-10 cans of tomatoes.
