Many people don't see the difference between pickled and pickled cucumbers. In fact, it is. Only salt is used for pickling, and citric acid is also used for pickling. This increases the shelf life of the workpieces.
Cover the cucumbers with ice water for 3-4 hours before cooking. This will make them crispier.
The ingredients in the recipes are designed for one 3 liter can. For the marinade, you need about 1–1½ liters of water.
Cucumbers should be tamped tightly into the jar so that there is no free space in it. The jars rolled up with lids must be turned over, covered with a towel and left to cool completely.
kopilka-kulinara.ruCucumbers acquire an amazing taste and aroma from the abundance of spices, herbs and other aromatic ingredients.
These cucumbers are prepared using the triple pouring method. Therefore, according to many housewives, it is not necessary to sterilize the jars before seaming. But if in doubt, then sterilize, especially since it is not difficult at all.
Cut the horseradish leaves and root into large pieces and place half on the bottom of the jar. Put hot pepper and tarragon there. Add half the dill, garlic, black and allspice, mustard seeds and bay leaf.
Then firmly place half of the cucumbers, the remaining herbs and spices, and the rest of the cucumbers. Pour boiling water over the jar completely and cover. After 12 minutes, pour out the water, pour clean boiling water over again, leave for 7 minutes and drain again.
In a separate saucepan, boil the marinade water and add sugar, salt and vinegar to it. Pour the resulting marinade over the cucumbers and roll up the jar.
This recipe is very simple and quick. Of the additional ingredients, only garlic is needed. Currant or cherry leaves will only slightly improve the aroma, but even without them, the cucumbers will turn out to be tasty and crispy.
Ketchup gives cucumbers a special aroma and a sweet-spicy taste, and brine - a non-standard shade.
Pour water into a saucepan, add salt, sugar, ketchup and vinegar. Stir, put the saucepan over the heat and bring to a boil.
Place bay leaves, pepper and garlic on the bottom of a sterilized jar. Arrange the cucumbers tightly and gently cover with the hot marinade using a ladle.

If you want to make a platter, you will have to change the amount of vegetables. Assume that they should be tamped tightly into the jar.
Place the dill, cherry leaves, and horseradish, pepper and coarsely chopped garlic in a jar. Then place the cucumbers inside, as well as whole tomatoes, peppers or coarsely chopped cabbage lengthwise.
Pour hot water over the vegetables, cover the jar with a lid and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain the infused water, pour boiling water over the vegetables again for 15 minutes and drain again.
Add salt, sugar, and citric acid or vinegar to the jar. Pour boiling water over and roll up the jar.

Such is the hot time now - the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. The harvest is ripe and the housewives have to work longer in the kitchen to prepare various delicacies for the winter. Today I want to offer you delicious recipes for crispy pickled cucumbers. Even if the housewives do not procure them, they buy ready-made ones. But there is often so much vinegar in store cucumbers. And you can choose a suitable recipe yourself and decide for yourself which cucumbers you like - salty, spicy or sweet. It's so delicious to crunch in winter with potatoes, and maybe even with vodka on holidays.
In my piggy bank of pickled cucumber recipes there are time-tested preparations. But you must admit, it is a shame if the recipe is good, and the can did not shoot, but opened the cucumbers, and they are soft. I also had such a bitter experience, with the whole batch of blanks. And then I got interested in what needs to be done to make the cucumbers crisp, and I share these tips with you.
I give this recipe for 1 liter of brine, from which two liter cans of cucumbers are obtained.
Roll caps must be boiled in advance
2. Cut off the ends of cucumbers on both sides. Put the cucumbers tightly in the jar up to half and sprinkle with herbs again. We also bring the cucumbers to the top of the can.
3. Boil water and fill cucumbers in a jar with hot water. We are waiting for about 10-12 minutes. Pour the water into a saucepan.
If the jar into which boiling water was poured can be taken with two bare hands, then it is time to drain the water
4. Pour boiling water for the second time (it is very convenient to boil water in a kettle) and wait another 10-12 minutes. We pour this water into the sink.
5. Prepare the marinade from the water that we drained after the first pouring. Add salt and sugar, peppercorns and cloves, bring the marinade to a boil.
6. Pour 1 tsp straight into the jars. vinegar essence. Fill with hot marinade and try to get spices in each jar.
How to make 9% vinegar from 70% vinegar essence? Very simple - 1 tsp. vinegar essence = 8 tsp. 9% vinegar - 7 tsp water.
7. Now it remains only to roll up the cans with metal lids and turn them upside down until they cool completely.
I want to tell you that sweet pickled cucumbers are even tastier than salted ones, although probably not everyone will agree with this. But the sweet-sour marinade of this recipe does its job - the cucumbers simply disappear from the plate and everyone asks for more. I strongly advise you to cook.
I do not specifically indicate the number of cucumbers, but the marinade is designed for 1 liter of water. Accordingly, I take carrots and onions by eye. The main thing in this recipe is to keep the proportion of salt and sugar. And if it seems to you that there is a lot of sugar, do not hesitate. but try to cook - I'm sure you will like it.
3. Put the pure cucumbers tightly in jars. Try to put larger cucumbers down and smaller ones on top.
I conducted an experiment - I laid out small cucumbers in jars vertically, and horizontally in other jars - it turned out about the same.
4. Boil water - it is very convenient to boil water in a kettle and pour it into jars. Pour cucumbers with boiling water and leave for 20 minutes. We pour this water into a saucepan and put it on the fire - we will prepare a marinade from it.
5. Fill the cucumbers again with clean boiling water and leave for another 10 minutes.
6... Prepare the marinade from the first water, bring to a boil and add salt and sugar. Pour in vinegar last.
7. Pour water from jars with cucumbers, and pour cucumbers with hot marinade.
8. Tighten the jars with sterile lids, turn them upside down and keep them until they cool completely.
Last year I marinated cucumbers with mustard for the first time and from my own experience I can say that the experiment was a success. Thanks to the mustard, such cucumbers acquire a special taste. Feel free to experiment. We will sterilize these cucumbers also by filling three times.
2. Pour boiling water over cucumbers in jars and leave for 15-20 minutes. We pour the water into a free saucepan and immediately put it on the fire - we prepare the marinade from it.
3. In the meantime, we should boil another portion of boiling water, you can just pour the cucumbers from the teapot. Fill and leave for another 10 minutes. We drain the water and fill it with the marinade already prepared by that time.
3. And for the preparation of the marinade, add the water drained for the first time, add salt, sugar, mustard and vinegar. Bring to a boil and pour into jars.
4. We twist the jars with sterilized lids, turn them over and hold them until they cool completely.
Not everyone loves vinegar, but in order for the jars to stand well and reliably over the winter, acid is still needed. Vinegar can be replaced with citric acid.
This recipe is also without vinegar, but with citric acid. And instead of sterilizing jars of cucumbers, we will pour boiling water.
We will use the 3x fill method.
2. Fill with boiling water, cover with a lid on top and let stand for 20 minutes.
To prevent the cans from cracking from hot water, you can put a metal spoon in each can
3. Drain the water and fill it with a new portion of boiling water, again let it brew for 10-15 minutes.
4. Measure the first drained water to prepare the marinade. Bring it to a boil and add salt and sugar.
5. Put the citric acid directly into the jars. If you have a 3-liter jar, then citric acid will need 1 teaspoon.
6. Pour the marinade over the cucumbers and tighten the lids. We turn the banks over until they cool completely.
As I already wrote, vodka is added to the marinade so that the cucumbers are crispy. I found an excellent recipe for delicious cucumbers with vodka on the Internet. Cucumbers are salted like from a barrel.
Another wonderful recipe, according to which I have been canning for 10 years and invariably very tasty cucumbers are obtained, in fact, "you will lick your fingers."
2. Place the cucumbers tightly in the jar.
3. Prepare the marinade, pour in the vinegar last. Fill cucumbers with hot marinade.
4. Banks are immersed in a pot of warm water. Put a towel at the bottom of the pan. It is better to boil lids for jars separately. Sterilize jars of cucumbers for 10-15 minutes and roll up.
So, there are enough pickled cucumber recipes to choose the right one for yourself. But you yourself understand that in order to choose, you need to try to cook according to different recipes. Please note that the ingredients in all recipes are almost the same, and the taste of the cucumbers is completely different.
