Pickled cucumbers - recipe:

  1. We prepare products. All spices and cucumbers are well washed.

    Advice: To get crispy pickles, use only pickles that are suitable for pickling - with dark pimples. And also put leaves or horseradish root, or walnut leaves, or oak leaves. I took leaves of horseradish, walnut, currant and cherry. Cut large leaves into several pieces with scissors. Dill is suitable only old, with seeds.

  2. Before pickling the cucumbers, fill them with cold drinking water, so that they are covered, and leave them for several hours or at most overnight. This is necessary so that the cucumbers after pickling are not empty and so that they do not take the pickle out of the jars, it also contributes to crispness. But if the cucumbers are only from the garden, you do not need to soak.

How to salt cucumbers for the winter correctly - a step-by-step salting recipe with a photo

We will wash all products. We choose tight cucumbers with pimples. If they are not only from the garden, then leave them in cold water longer. Leaves and twigs, if large, cut with scissors. But it is better to put everything whole. The horseradish root must be chopped, and the leaves must be chopped smaller. Dill is usually placed directly in bushes, but you can also cut it.

Step 1. Prepare the spices

When the cucumbers are already in the water, we will merge it, rinse the fruits again. We choose a vessel in which the cucumbers will be salted. Put a layer of sliced ​​mixture on the bottom and lay out a layer of cucumbers. And thus we shift until we lay out the fruits and spices. Stir salt with water and pour this over the cucumbers. This amount of cucumbers will take about 5 liters of brine. Cover the top with washed grape leaves.

Step 2. Cover the cucumbers with grape leaves on top

It is important to place some kind of weight on top of the vessel. If not, then a three-liter jar full of water, installed on something flat, will do. In a warm place, salt the cucumbers for 5 days (if it's cool, and 2-3 if it's warm). Don't worry if you see a white coating on the water, it's lactic acid bacteria. Cucumbers can be eaten even after 3 days. But if you want to prepare them for the winter, then salt the brine, rinse all the contents (except greens) and jars with boiling water (sterilize the jars and lids), and then fill them with boiled brine (you can do this twice) and roll up the lids. We keep them upside down under the covers, and then send them to the shelves. It's okay if the brine gets cloudy. Then all this will precipitate. And in winter, delicious crispy pickles await you.

Who does not like to feast on salty crunchy cucumbers! If you follow some simple salting rules, even the most common recipe for cooking cucumbers will turn them into an appetizing and tasty treat.

There are two ways to pickle cucumbers: cold and hot.

Their only difference is that vegetables in one case are poured with cold water, in the other - with boiling water.

There are certain nuances of harvesting lightly salted and pickled cucumbers, which should be performed regardless of the method of salting.

When salting, follow the general rules:

  1. Cucumbers are recommended to be salted on the day of harvest, until the vegetables have lost their elastic structure and become soft. Ignoring this rule can lead to the loss of the characteristic crunch.
  2. It is better to salt fruits of different sizes separately so that the marinade evenly saturates each vegetable.
  3. Preparing the brine requires specially prepared water. It should be filtered, and ideally from a well or source.
  4. In order for the cucumbers to crunch pleasantly, they must be soaked in cold water for 2.5 - 3 hours.
  5. Any container that is used for salting must be carefully prepared:
  • wash glass jars with baking soda gruel and steam;
  • rinse the barrel thoroughly until the water is clear of sawdust and the characteristic odor disappears. Next, it must be filled with water and kept for several days in order for it to dry out, and small cracks and gaps disappear. We wash with a solution of soda - 1 teaspoon for 2 liters. water;

Attention: barrel preparation should be started a few weeks before harvest.

  • it is better to use an enamelled bucket or saucepan. They are pre-washed with hot water with baking soda, which must be poured onto a damp sponge and rubbed against the inner walls of the container and the lid.
  1. Leaves of fruit trees and shrubs, for example, cherry and currant, should be added to the usual spices. Oak leaves are indispensable in the preparation of cucumbers, which give a tart taste and aroma.
  2. Spices should be distributed evenly over the entire container area. To do this, the recommended amount of seasonings should be roughly divided into 3 equal servings. The first part is laid on the bottom, the second in the middle, the third, the last - on top of all the cucumbers, just before pouring.
  3. It is necessary to store pickled vegetables in a cool place, where the temperature varies from - 1 to + 4 degrees Celsius. This could be a refrigerator or basement.
