Summer is in full swing, which means you need to have time to make as many delicious preserves as possible. All this will come in handy during the long winter. Canned cucumbers are always in demand. They can be added to boiled potatoes and other vegetables, and can be used in various salads.
The site has already reviewed the whole closed ones, now it’s the turn to present you with the next selection - sliced cucumbers, canned for the winter. In all recipes, green comrades are cut in different ways: into rings, cubes, lengthwise. The containers used are also different - from 0.5 liter volumes to three-liter bottles - be careful - each recipe indicates the volume of all products and cans.
To get tasty cucumber rings, you can take larger fruits - after all, you still need to cut them, so they will fit into the jar without any problems. But yellow fruits, even in such a preparation, are in no way suitable. Yellowness indicates that they are overripe - which means there will be a lot of large seeds inside, and the peel will be tough.
Both white and red onions are suitable for harvesting. The marinade contains vinegar, so it is better not to abuse this appetizer for those whose liver and pancreas are “fooling around.”
For a 2-liter jar, take:
To prepare marinades and canned food, always use only clean, filtered water, free from impurities and foreign odors. When boiling, no sediment should form in the liquid.
Preparation
1. Wash the cucumbers clean and cut into thick slices.
2. Peel the onions and chop them. If they are small, then they are rings, and large ones are half rings.
3. Rinse the inside of the container with boiling water. Place dill (an overgrown umbrella, especially for preparations) to the bottom, then bay leaves and pepper. Fill the jar with layers of cucumber circles and onions - so that you get 3-4 layers of both. It is better to make the first layer with onion.
4. Mix water with coarse salt and sugar for the marinade. Let it boil over high heat - and then add a bite.
5. Transfer the marinade to the vegetables, attach the seaming lids - sterilize for 18-20 minutes in an enamel bowl with boiling water.
6. Roll up the pickle and keep it upside down and wrapped until it cools completely.
You can enjoy delicious cucumber rings in just a month!
All herbs used for preservation must not be rotten or spoiled. If dry herbs are used during the pickling process, then their quantity is reduced by 5 times. Salt and granulated sugar must be dry and clean.
Why is the recipe called “Fingers” - you might think? Probably, the cucumber slices themselves reminded the person who invented it of fingers. After all, according to the recipe we will cut each vegetable into four parts. My recipe is incredibly tasty, try it - you will like it.
So, let's start our preparation for the winter. First, I pickle the cucumbers in a bucket. A regular 10-liter bottle will do.
We wash our vegetables and cut them lengthwise into four pieces. We take all fruits of small or medium size, but not large ones.
Ingredients
Secrets of making marinade
Place the pre-cut cucumbers into the prepared bucket.
We also finely chop the dill and put it in a bucket. I pass the garlic through the garlic press. To make the marinade spicy, you need hot pepper, chop it finely and add it all to the rest of the products.
Then mix the contents of the container and set aside in a place where it will be dark for 3-4 hours.
Our next task is to put the prepared ingredients into jars. You need to lay it out tightly. Sprinkle chopped spices on top and pour a few tablespoons of marinade.
Next comes sterilization. For half-liter jars, 15 minutes will be enough, for liter jars – 20 minutes. It is not recommended to roll cucumbers into large containers. And lastly, we roll up our jars. That's practically all. Now, with the onset of cold weather, you can open the pickles and enjoy delicious and crispy cucumber slices.
Any marinade mixture consists of liquid, dissolved sugar and salt: they are poured into water, brought to a boil and dissolved in water. But the vinegar is poured in after boiling, otherwise it will simply “evaporate” and the pickles will lose their natural preservative.
Cut the pre-washed and dried cucumbers into cubes (or rings - as you like *), place in an enamel container and cover with salt at the rate of one tablespoon of salt per kilogram of main vegetables. To ensure that the salt is distributed evenly, you can shake the pan. Cover with a towel and leave for twelve hours (overnight is possible).
Prepare spices and seasonings: wash the dill and horseradish leaves, place on an ironed towel and dry. Then cut into pieces (the smaller the better).
Cut the peeled onion into rings. Peel the garlic cloves and turn them into plates.
The juice formed during the fermentation of cucumbers must be poured out, and the vegetables themselves must be placed in a jar in layers, alternating with the indicated spices. Try to distribute all products evenly.
Prepare the spicy filling: pour four glasses of water into a saucepan, add all the ingredients for the marinade and place on the stove. After the liquid boils, pour it into jars.
Cover future pickles with lids and sterilize for ten minutes. Roll up and wrap until cool.
* Cucumber slices can be prepared for the winter in different ways: cut lengthwise, into rings or into cubes. The latter option can be used in winter for vinaigrette.
Fruits used for preservation must be ripe, but not overripe, elastic with bright green skin, and slightly prickly to the touch. Before seaming, all products must be washed under running water; if they are heavily soiled, they must be pre-soaked.
All ingredients are calculated for 3 kg of cucumbers. The result is 7 two-liter jars (or 14 liters of pickles).
Cut the cucumbers, washed under cool water, in half lengthwise, and cut each half in half again to make four parts.
Also wash the carrots and cut them lengthwise into strips. By the way, carrots can also be grated using a grater for Korean vegetables.
Peeled garlic cloves need to be chopped finely enough to make the marinade piquant and tasty.
Place all prepared products in a clean, spacious bucket or pan, mix together with the added seasonings and spices.
Leave the vegetable mixture to marinate at room temperature for about a day. During this time, the ingredients cut into pieces will release juice and absorb the aroma of all the spices.
The next day, place the prepared products in a clean container, sterilize for a quarter of an hour, then roll up.
Wrap the cucumbers in slices in jars with a blanket until they cool completely, first turning the lid down. Store the finished pickles in a cool, dark place.
Tender, but at the same time spicy and spicy cucumbers for the winter, canned with hot peppers and carrots. The result is 7 liters of pickles, it is better to seal it in liter jars.
Wash the cucumbers and carrots and cut each vegetable lengthwise into four pieces. Grind the garlic cloves in a blender or finely chop. Wash the hot pepper, remove seeds and cut into rings.
Place all ingredients in a spacious bucket or pan, add the indicated spices and seasonings. Mix everything well and leave to marinate indoors for a day.
Evenly spread the cucumber-carrot mixture into pre-prepared clean jars and send for sterilization - a quarter of an hour is enough.
Roll up the jars, turn them upside down and cover with a blanket until they cool completely. Then put it away for storage.
In no case should you use aluminum containers as containers where you plan to pre-marinate foods - oxidation processes occur in this metal, spoiling the properties of canned food and changing the taste of pickles.
All ingredients are taken based on 6 kg of cucumbers, the output is 10-11 liter jars.
Cut the cucumbers, pre-washed with cold water and dried, lengthwise: if the vegetables are large, then into six parts, if medium, then into four. Place in a large saucepan or bucket.
Add allspice, garlic cloves, sugar and salt, pour in vegetable oil and vinegar. To ensure that all the ingredients are mixed, shake the container thoroughly and leave to infuse for three to four hours at room temperature.
In the meantime, wash the jars and lids with soda and sterilize them.
Place the hot lecho into prepared jars and seal them tightly. Turn over the container with pickles and place the jars on the lids. Wrap them up and leave them like that for 36 hours.
*The best option for this preparation is sunflower oil.
1. From the specified amount of products you will get 7-8 liters of ready-made cucumber lecho.
2. This lecho salad should be placed in small half-liter jars, which should be pre-prepared along with suitable lids - rinse, sterilize and dry.
3. Instead of fresh tomatoes, you can use tomato in paste or sauce, but with the addition of sparkling mineral water.
4. Approximate ratio of salt, pepper and sugar: for 100 g of sugar, 25 g of salt and pepper.
No special conditions are required to preserve cucumber lecho.

I recommend that you prepare cucumber slices for the winter; the recipe with onions and garlic is very successful. The amazing taste of crispy cucumbers goes well with meat or fish dishes. Among the many recipes for winter preparations, this recipe is distinguished by its ease of preparation and special taste. I advise you to cook this one, which is no less tasty.
And the secret is that the cucumbers are placed in jars in pickled form and are quickly sterilized. Thus, cucumbers are subject to little heat treatment and remain fresh with a natural taste and aroma.
To give the cucumbers a special piquancy, finely chopped garlic is added, but onions add spicy notes to the appetizer. It is important to choose the right variety of cucumbers for such a snack, so that they are ground fruits of pickling varieties. Then, after salting, they remain hard and crispy.
Some housewives add either vodka or oil to the jars for taste, but this is purely optional and then they get very tasty garlicky fresh crispy cucumbers.
- pickling cucumbers – 3 kg.,
- garlic (young) – 200-250 gr.,
- onion – 250 gr.,
- salt, medium grind - 100 gr.,
- sugar – 250 gr.,
- table vinegar (9% – 150 ml.
Step-by-step recipe with photos:
We wash the cucumbers most thoroughly from contamination, preferably using a kitchen brush. Then, without peeling them, cut them into circles of medium thickness (no more than 0.5-1 cm).
Finely chop the peeled onion into half rings.
Peel and chop the garlic using a press.
Add salt, vinegar and sugar to enhance the taste.
We leave the salad mixture in a cool place for 10-12 hours, during which time the cucumbers will release juice, which will actually serve as a preservative for the salad.
Bon appetit!

Stage 2: Let's start preparing the workpiece. We cut off the ends of the cucumbers on both sides, so they are better saturated with the marinade.
We place dill umbrellas at the bottom of sterile jars; you can put spices to taste, such as peppercorns, bay leaves and others. Place cucumbers and onions cut into rings tightly on top.
Stage 3: final. You need to boil the required amount of water in a container. Pour hot water into jars with cucumbers, cover with lids and let them stand for 1 hour.
