Cucumbers in an easy way. The cold method is the easiest and most affordable

12.09.2019 Desserts and cakes

For many years, cucumbers have been a good addition to any meal. The only pity is that they quickly keep up and leave just as quickly. But the hostesses have adapted to this feature. They harvest cucumbers for future use. Previously, this vegetable was salted in barrels and stored in cellars and glaciers. However, with the advent of glass containers, changes were made to the conservation of cucumbers - they began to be harvested for future use in jars.

Most often they are pickled with vinegar. But, unfortunately, not everyone can eat sour pickled cucumbers. This is where salting comes to the rescue. Pickled cucumbers in cans have little difference in taste from barreled cucumbers. But so that the products, so diligently collected and prepared for the winter, do not disappear, you need to know some of the features of this type of harvesting.

The subtleties of cooking

  • The best varieties for salting are Vyaznikovskiy, Nezhinskiy, Dolzhik, Borshagovskiy, Ryabchik. Cucumbers for harvesting for future use should be grown in the open field. Do not salt greenhouse cucumbers, as they are watery and tasteless.
  • To get the highest quality products, you need to use young cucumbers. The smallest are pickles - greenery 3-5 cm long. Then there are gherkins - cucumbers no more than 7 cm long. The optimal size of cucumbers for pickling is up to 12 cm long. You can also pickle fruits of a larger size, but in this case they will take up a lot of space in the jar, and it is not customary to cut them into transverse parts in salting. Large cucumbers can be left to marinate.
  • Cucumbers do not have a pronounced taste or aroma. Therefore, they are salted along with herbs and aromatic spices. Each housewife chooses a bouquet of herbs individually, taking into account the taste preferences of her family. But there are popular herbs and spices that are most commonly used in salting. These are dill, garlic, hot red pepper, peppercorns, horseradish, tarragon, savory, coriander, celery, parsley.
  • Cucumbers are salted together with cherry, oak, black currant leaves. The leaves of these plants contain tannins, due to which pickles remain firm and crispy.
  • Sometimes for accelerated fermentation, 1-2% sugar is added to the brine. It is put in the event that large or slightly wilted cucumbers are salted.
  • The quality of the final product also depends on the salt. If the salt is bad, then it will not completely dissolve in the brine and will fall out as a sediment, and a mold-like plaque will appear on the vegetables.
  • Usually, a 6-7 percent brine is used for salting small cucumbers. But if you have to salt larger specimens, the amount of salt is increased to 8-9%.

Lactic acid fermentation of cucumbers

Lactic acid fermentation is a mandatory process for salting. It runs best at a temperature of 20-22 °. At this time, various kinds of bacteria multiply, and putrefactive ones too, but lactic acid prevails. This is celebrated on about the fifth day. You can see that the brine becomes more, and the weight of the cucumbers decreases. The fact is that during this period, the juice from them goes into the brine.

Then comes the second salting phase. Cucumber jars are taken out to a cool place, where lactic acid bacteria continue to vigorously release lactic acid for 15-20 days. Together with the brine, it penetrates the fruits, due to which they begin to gain weight again and become denser.

Then comes the third phase: fermentation almost stops. The cucumbers continue to absorb the saline solution. At the end of this period, they become usable.

Canned pickles recipes

Salting in cans is very convenient, because it is not required to store specially equipped rooms with a low temperature, which are needed for pickled cucumbers in barrels.

Cucumbers in jars are salted in two ways. In the first version, these vegetables are first salted in any container (barrel, saucepan, bucket) according to your favorite recipe, then transferred to jars, filled with the same brine, but filtered, and covered with lids. When sealed, they are pre-pasteurized.

In the second version, cucumbers are salted immediately in jars.

Pickled cucumbers in jars: recipe one

  • salt - 70 g per 1 liter of water;

  • Sort the cucumbers by size. Set aside crooked, overripe or oversized fruits.
  • Soak the cucumbers in a bowl of cold water for 5-8 hours. This will help restore freshness and juiciness to them. In addition, such cucumbers, when salted, remain dense and there are no voids in them.
  • Cut off the ends where dirt can collect. It is also believed that it is there that most nitrates. Wash the fruits thoroughly.
  • Place the cucumbers upright in clean jars. Fill with brine. Close the lids. Leave at room temperature for 3-4 days.

  • Rinse the cucumbers.

  • When lactic acid fermentation begins, drain the brine: you will no longer need it.
  • Pour clean water into a jar of cucumbers and pour immediately.
  • Refill with cold water. Close the jar with a tight-fitting nylon cap. Place the jars in a dry, dark, cool place.

Pickled cucumbers in a jar - spicy, spicy, pre-salted in another container

Ingredients (for one three-liter can):

  • fresh cucumbers - 1.6-1.8 kg;
  • dill (greens) - 40 g;
  • dill seeds - 1.5-2 g;
  • horseradish (root) - 5 g;
  • ramson (wild garlic) - 1 stalk;
  • bitter paprika - 2 g;
  • salt - 60-80 g per 1 liter of water.

Cooking method
Stage one:

  • Sort the cucumbers. Soak in cold water for 5-6 hours.
  • Wash thoroughly. Cut off the ends.
  • Prepare the brine. To do this, pour salt and water into a saucepan. Boil. Refrigerate. Strain through several layers of cheesecloth.
  • Wash the herbs, peppers, and peeled horseradish.
  • Place the cucumbers in a saucepan or barrel, shifting them with spices. Fill with brine. Put a circle, and oppression on it.
  • Leave the container in a warm place for 4-5 days for lactic acid fermentation. When fermentation stops, remove any film, foam or mold from the brine surface. Top up with fresh brine. Remove to a cool place to salt the cucumbers. But at the same time, be sure to remove the mold daily, wash the circle with oppression.

Stage two:

  • Remove the pickled cucumbers from the brine, rinse well in cold water.
  • Place in clean 3 liter jars.
  • Strain the brine in which the cucumbers were salted through a cloth. Pour over the cucumbers. Cover the jars with sterile lids.
  • Place jars of cucumbers in a wide container (basin), pour water up to the shoulders of the jars and place on the stove. To prevent the jars from cracking, place a wooden circle or soft cloth on the bottom of the dish. Bring to a boil. Time from now on, and sterilize the cucumbers for 25 minutes.
  • Seal the jars. Refrigerate.

Note to the hostess

Cucumber pickle after lactic acid fermentation is usually cloudy. During sterilization, the microorganisms that caused this fermentation die. During storage of cucumbers, all the dregs settle to the bottom and the brine becomes transparent. If you shake a jar of cucumbers, the brine will become cloudy again. Sediment does not affect product quality.

You can canned cucumbers without your pickle. In this case, you need to prepare a new one. To do this, take 30 g of salt, add 7-8 g of citric acid and dilute them in 1 liter of water. Cool the brine, let it stand, then strain.

Pre-salted cucumbers in another container can be prepared according to any recipe. Only the composition of the spices changes, thanks to which the cucumbers turn out to be hot, garlic or spicy. The amount of salt remains the same.

Pickled cucumbers with simple salting are distinguished by simplicity of taste and ease of preparation. Simple pickles have a rich, sour-salty taste, which makes them indispensable for cooking such dishes as hodgepodge or pickle. And in general, for me personally, I like the taste of simple pickled cucumbers much more than pickled ones. However, they also have their drawbacks - cucumbers salted with a simple salting are not as crispy and cannot be stored for years, like those that are thoroughly pickled, even without sterilization (I wrote a recipe for preparing such cucumbers). The deadline for storage is until next spring, that is, about six months. Therefore, it does not make sense to procure too many of them, but jars 3 - 4 must be made.

Cucumbers as a simple ambassador for the winter

In the previous article, I wrote about how to make delicious and crunchy ones, and at the end of the article I mentioned that they can even be left for the winter. So, it is this recipe that allows you to make such a winter blank. Just before salting, salted cucumbers will need to be rinsed with clean cold water.

Fresh cucumbers are also suitable for this recipe, the only thing to consider in this case is the amount of salt, it will take twice as much.

Ingredients:

  • lightly salted or fresh cucumbers,
  • fresh dill with twigs,
  • bay leaf,
  • onions and garlic (if the cucumbers are fresh).

Step 1. First, we need to cook the marinade. Dissolve salt in clean water. For lightly salted cucumbers, pour 1 tablespoon of salt into 1 liter of water. If the cucumbers are fresh, then take 2 tablespoons per 1 liter, you can even with a tubercle. Also add 10-15 black peppercorns and a couple of bay leaves to the marinade. Bring to a boil and leave to cool.

Step 2. Put cucumbers in clean jars and cover with warm marinade. On top of them, you can put small sprigs of dill. If the cucumbers were fresh, then you can also put onions and garlic.

Step 3. Finally, close the jars with ordinary nylon lids and put them in a cool place, where they will be stored all winter. That's all, enjoyable 🙂

Hello my dear readers! Do you think it is too early to give recipes for winter preparations in April? I think not.

Hello, my dear subscribers!

How glad to see you again as a guest. Today I want to go straight to the topic of the article, show the recipes for pickles. But so that you get them not only very tasty, but also crispy. We will prepare quickly and easily such blanks in jars, right at home. And take a sample in winter or spring. As necessary).

After all, such savory gherkins are a great snack for any upcoming holidays that await us in the near future. They can be made or super-duper. Therefore, I think that they should always be in your pantry or cellar. So that they can come to the rescue and help out at any time. How do you think?

Various seasonings and spices are used for this salty delicacy; without them, the preparation will not be interesting and not so fragrant in taste. But, nevertheless, the main thing is to take not flabby and not spoiled cucumbers, because the result will completely depend on them and on what technology you use to cook them. You also need to do everything with a soul and a good mood.

I also recommend choosing only the smallest and not edible varieties of cucumbers, but picking pickles. There are many nuances, this article will help you figure it out with step-by-step recommendations and instructions. Therefore, as they say on TV, do not switch. Run to choose the recipe you like and cook for health.

As you know, the classic recipe involves adding any vinegar essence to such a blank, or you can close it altogether without it. In this first version, I propose to cheat and add lemon instead of vinegar. What is most interesting, cucumbers prepared in this way also turn out to be crunchy and very tasty. And most importantly, they do not harm health.

Also, for safety, you can perform three or two brine fillings. You don’t understand what I’m talking about, it’s not difficult to understand. Along the way, friends will figure it out.

It is due to this feature that you can easily store such gherkins right in your apartment, cool, isn't it ?!

You know why such preservation is convenient, because it is also without additional sterilization with ready-made blanks. Agree, it's convenient. It is with this technology that our great-grandmothers and mothers cook and cook. Take a notebook and take notes. Or add this page to your bookmarks.

Honestly, this method is also good because the cucumbers turn out to be slightly vigorous, personally we just adore such, it turns out super.

We will calculate the ingredients for 2 liters of marinade, you must admit it is convenient, because then you can close at least one liter or two to three liter cans.

I'll make a reservation right away that below this recipe another one will be given, which is the simplest and most delicious, for novice housewives I recommend taking it first.

We need:

for a 3 liter jar:

  • cucumbers
  • water - 2 l
  • dill sprigs with umbrellas - 2-3 pcs.
  • bay leaf - 2-3 pcs.
  • fresh garlic - 1 head
  • mustard seed - 1 tsp
  • allspice - 8 peas
  • a mixture of peppers (black and white peas) - 1 tsp
  • salt - 2 tablespoons
  • granulated sugar - 2 tbsp
  • citric acid - 1 tsp for each 3-liter can


Stages:

1. Just wash the plucked green fruits in cold water and it is even possible for them to swim in it for an hour. If the cucumbers were picked long ago, for example, yesterday, it is better to soak them in cold liquid for a couple of hours (2-3 hours) so that they restore their water balance.


Remove the husks from the garlic and cut each clove in half.

2. Now put all the spices and herbs on the list in a sterilized jar. That is, dill umbrellas, peeled garlic cloves, bay leaf, mustard seed and peppercorns.


Heat the water in a saucepan and as soon as it boils, pour the blanks along the edges. Cover and wait 15 minutes. Drain the liquid back into the pot and measure the amount. You should get about 1 liter. If it turns out less, add more ordinary water, that is, increase to 2 liters, so that it is convenient to put the ingredients on the list. Add salt and sugar and bring to a boil.

To prevent the jar from cracking when you add boiling water, pour water into the center of the container and a metal knife or fork can be placed under the bottom.


4. Immediately refill the prepared workpieces with boiling marinade. For a moment, it will seem to you that the water in the containers begins to darken or becomes cloudy. Add citric acid to each jar, take 1 tsp. Put on the lid and roll it up with a special key so that everything is sealed.

Turn the jar upside down and let cool under a blanket for 24-48 hours. And then lower it to a cool place where it is dark.

As promised by another favorite recipe of mine, which has been tested by all my surroundings, it never fails. Try to cook! By the way, if you are familiar with Irina Khlebnikova (she is a video blogger), then you probably could have already seen this description.

So, let's start pickling cucumbers under the nylon lid. The recipe is reliable and proven, and resembles the taste of barrels, although the preparation is prepared exclusively in cans.

We need:


Stages:

1. Take for work only those fruits that are suitable for pickling and pickling. Never take food cucumbers, eat them only. Do it.


2. If you have prepared a 3-liter jar, since this is the most popular size, then you will need about one and a half kilograms of "green" ones.

Before you start conjuring, wash the vegetables in running water and soak them in cold, regular water for 3-4 hours. Then cut off the bottom of each gherkin on both sides. And rinse them well once more.


3. Next, prepare all the spices and herbs for use. They should only be torn off, and not faded and bad in appearance. As you can see, garlic cloves already peeled from the husk, dill umbrellas, currant leaves, tarragon and cherry leaves will come in handy here.

Horseradish is also taken, and the secret is this, the leaves themselves can not be laid, but its stems must be put. It is they who give the crispness to the finished dish. Wow, it is in the stalks that all the power of magic is.


4. In addition to dill umbrellas, you can also break sticks, that is, stems, as they are quite aromatic and will only decorate the taste of homemade preparations.


5. Thus, the standard set of products will be as follows, for one three-liter jar, take 5 cloves of garlic, 3 sticks of horseradish 10 cm in size, dill umbrellas - 2-3 pcs., Currant and cherry leaves - a couple of pieces, a sprig of tarragon, three or two slices of hot, hot chili.



7. Lay out everything you need on the banks, install without effort and pressure, but again, so that there are not many voids. Fill each container with cucumbers up to the shoulders. On top, it is advisable to put tarragon and dill umbrellas, well, you can hot pepper with dill sticks. Fill about half the jar with cold water.


8. Then, pour that salty water here, in which the salt was diluted. And then add cold drinking water again. You can, in principle, immediately put three tablespoons of salt in each jar and not dissolve it in advance.

Place a plate or bowl under each container so that the brine does not run off onto the table. And leave at room temperature to stand for 3 days, the greens should acidify during this time, and a foam will form on top.


9. Then pour the brine into a saucepan and bring it to a boil, cook for about 1.5 minutes. And fill the blank again with hot marinade.


10. Voila, put on the nylon lid and send it to the cellar or storage room for storage. And after 2-3 weeks you can already eat and enjoy such a wonderful yummy. Happy discoveries and impressions, friends!

Next, start laying the cucumbers, but not all at once, but partly. About the middle, start again putting the spices and herbs in any ratio (leave a little more to put at the very end). The only thing is that the remaining horseradish leaves will need to be put on top of the entire workpiece. You can also put the umbrellas on top.

Dissolve the salt in 5 liters of ordinary water, and immediately fill a bucket with this brine.

2. That's all, it's easier than a steamed turnip. I threw everything into a bucket and filled it with salty solution. Cover with a lid and leave for a long time in a cool place, such as a cellar.

In a couple of weeks, and maybe even after a week and a half, it will be possible to feast on and take the first sample. In general, in this form, such a homemade preparation costs a very long time, until next summer or spring. But I'm sure you won't let her wait that long.) Eat to your health!

Great! As you can see, there is no sterilization, no seaming under the lid, everything is pretty and extremely clear, everyone can figure it out.


The most interesting thing is that the other day I met another option for cooking in a plastic bottle, I was just so amazed. The author assures that he marinates like this from year to year, and nothing takes off. And it is very convenient, and if you urgently need somewhere to put a bunch or a mountain of cucumbers. After all, not always at hand, there are glass jars, you must agree.

So I think the proverb would be appropriate here: "Live for a century, study for a century, you will die a fool .." Ah, ha, watch the video.
