Any housewife tries to delight household members with new, tasty and healthy dishes, especially in the cold season. We offer you some simple recipes for the Winter King cucumber salad for the winter. Most of the recipes are based on combining cucumbers with a variety of vegetables or interesting spicy dressings, but how do you make a winter salad right? Let's start by choosing quality ingredients.

When buying cucumbers in a store, you should pay attention to their appearance, namely: density, size and color. Thanks to these criteria, you will be able to find a truly quality product.

Density
Many housewives mistakenly think that soft cucumbers can be used to prepare winter salad, but this is not the case. Firstly, the product already has an unpresentable appearance, and after heat treatment it will not only lose nutrients, but also soften even more, turning into porridge. Secondly, such a product can quickly deteriorate, and the cans will simply explode.

The size
Cucumbers of any size can be used for salads. The main thing is that the vegetable has a thin skin. After all, the thick peel will not allow the marinade to saturate the product; it will take much longer to stew in order to achieve the required salad consistency.

Color
For salads, cucumbers of a rich green color are suitable. It is he who makes it clear that the fruit is ripe enough and ready for use in any form. The main condition is the absence of yellow and white spots.

Secrets

In blanks it is better to use fresh, green cucumbers with a lot of pimples... They must first be filled with cold water for a couple of hours. Then, despite the heat treatment, they will be crispy in the salad. Soaking will also get rid of excess dirt and chemicals that were used to grow vegetables.

Salt must be taken food stone or sea coarse grinding... The iodized salt softens the canned vegetables and gives them an unpleasant taste.

Besides, it is worth paying special attention to sterilization of cans and the correct storage of preservation.

How to store preservation in an apartment

Basically, winter preparations are recommended to be stored in the basement or cellar, but if you live in an apartment and you do not have such opportunities, do not despair. Cucumber salads, like other preserves, are conveniently stored on the balcony in a closed cabinet in order to protect jars with blanks from the sun's rays. In the cold season, it is necessary to monitor the temperature regime. If it is too cold on the balcony or terrace, the liquid in the container may freeze and the cans will burst. A home pantry is also suitable for storing conservation - a dry, dark place with a constant temperature regime.

It is worth remembering that salads, as well as canned vegetables and fruits, do not have a long shelf life. Therefore, after moving the cans to the cellar or pantry, it is worth attaching stickers with the date of preparation.

Storage periods of conservation:

  • pickled vegetables and berries (pasteurized) - 2 years;
  • pickled vegetables and berries (not pasteurized) - 10 months;
  • soaked fruits and berries - 12 months;
  • sterilized fruit and vegetable canned food in an airtight container - 2 years.

Someone can diversify this composition to their liking, but today we will cook according to the classic recipe. Cucumbers are hard and crispy on it, and together with greens, they retain the real aroma of freshness and the taste of summer!

  • Onions - 0.5 kg;
  • Fresh dill - 1 bunch;

How to prepare the Winter King salad of cucumbers and onions for the winter

We wash the cucumbers under cold water and dry a little. Cut off the ends on both sides, then cut the cucumbers into two halves and cut into half rings. If the cucumbers are large, then cut them into quarters. It is better not to use overripe cucumbers, they have a thick peel and will have to be cut off, in this case the cucumbers will no longer be crispy, and the charm of this salad is in crispy cucumbers!

Free the onions from the husks and cut into thin half rings.

Combine chopped cucumbers and onions in one bowl, add salt and sugar to them. Mix everything thoroughly and leave for 1-1.5 hours. During this time, the cucumbers should start up a lot of juice. If you do not wait for the allotted time, then later you simply will not have enough marinade to close the jars of salad with it to the very top.

Rinse the dill under water, shake it from excess liquid and chop finely with a knife. Together with black pepper and table vinegar, add to the cucumbers when they are already infused. In many recipes, ground pepper is replaced by peppercorns, it gives more aroma and spice. If you are not embarrassed by the fact that the peas can be caught while eating, then ground pepper can be replaced.

We put the saucepan with the salad over medium heat and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil. We need all the cucumbers to change their color almost at the same time, otherwise some part of the cucumbers will be digested and become soft.

Banks and lids must be prepared in advance - washed and sterilized. Since about three liters of ready-made salad is obtained from the specified number of products, we calculate the number of cans accordingly. As soon as the cucumbers change their color, lay out the salad in dry jars to the very top. The marinade should completely cover the cucumbers, so first we spread the mass of onions and cucumbers, and pour the marinade on top.

We immediately cover the salad and roll it up with a key. We turn the cans upside down and cover them with a blanket so that they cool down more slowly and thereby continue the sterilization process. After cooling, we put it in a cellar or another cool place. The Winter King salad is ready! Excellent blanks for you.

Note to the hostess:

  • If the cucumbers have been in the refrigerator for some time and become lethargic, then before using them for salad, soak the cucumbers in ice water for 1-2 hours;
  • If desired, you can add odorless hot refined vegetable oil to the salad or directly to each jar.
  • It is best to cook the "Winter King" salad in an enamel pan; during the infusion the vegetables will not oxidize, and since the cooking time on the stove is short, the salad will not have time to burn.

Cooking features

If you take into account some of the features of preparing cucumber salad for the winter, then it will turn out to be royally delicious and will stand all winter in the pantry without spoiling.

  • Thoroughly sterilize cans intended for conservation, as the Winter King salad is prepared without sterilization. Boil the lids with which you plan to cover the appetizer.

  4. By this time, the cucumbers have already absorbed enough moisture and can be cut into thin circles.
  5. Collect all prepared vegetables in one wide container and mix. Leave to start up the juice.
  6. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the vinegar and all remaining ingredients except the oil.
  7. We put my bottles and lids on a steam bath - to be sterilized. Experienced housewives do not recommend sterilization in the oven, as often the container simply bursts in the process. Boil the lids in boiling water for a quarter of an hour.
  8. Put the bowl with the preparation on fire, pour the dressing into it and mix well. The vegetables will produce so much juice that there is no need to top up the water.
  9. Cook the salad until the cucumbers darken. In this case, once every 10 minutes, you need to mix the contents of the bowl.

  5. Convenience of "Royal Salad" - there is no process of sterilizing dishes in cans. But it is recommended to carry out heat treatment by boiling vegetables in their own juice, so that the workpiece can really be stored in the cellar or at room temperature for more than two months.
  6. At your discretion, you can include other spices in the recipe (ground pepper, bay leaf, clove bud, parsley).

Vegetables are better preserved in the marinade. In case of a shortage of marinade juice, boil the kettle in advance - if there is not enough filling, you can add a little boiling water to the desired level.
