Typically, for seaming use presentable medium-sized cucumbers. However, it is not always possible to harvest the crop on time, it often happens that the garden owners did not keep track of a few vegetables and as a result large yellowish cucumbers are obtained. They are too big to make standard spins of them, often they are not even served at the table, throwing them away as spoiled. However, for everything in the world there is a recipe. From over-ripe cucumbers, you can make a marinade salad, which you can not only eat right after cooking, but also preserve, so that in winter you can serve another delicacy on the table. Such a twist is very different in taste from ordinary salted or pickled cucumbers, but for sure those who like spicy and savory dishes will like it. At the same time save from the need to throw away the crop. Garlic aftertaste will make a cucumber salad for the winter look like a snack to alcohol.

Before use, cucumbers must be washed in running water and cut. You can use any of the usual form for cutting, but it is best to leave large blocks. They look better in a can and they are juicier and more appetizing. With overripe vegetables, pre-cut the peel. She is too fat and will interfere.

To prepare the salad will need:

• 2 kg of cucumbers of any size.
• 1 head of garlic.
• 1/2 cup sugar.
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
• 1/2 cup table vinegar.
• 2 tablespoons of salt.
• Spices and herbs to taste.

Sliced \u200b\u200bcucumbers must be folded into a deep container. This may be a pan of a suitable size: vegetables should not fall out of it, as the marinade will be prepared further.

Add spices to vegetables, black pepper will be the best seasoning, which should be added not less than a tablespoon. Do not be afraid to make the dish too spicy, because cucumbers are rather watery, without their own bright taste. In combination with garlic, pepper will be an excellent flavoring.

Then pour into the pan 9% vinegar, salt, sugar and butter. Oil can choose any vegetable, as long as it does not smell. Well refined sunflower or olive. Garlic must be chopped before adding. Unfortunately, finely chopped garlic does not give the necessary smell, so it is better to skip it through the garlic press or grind it in a blender.

In the end you need to sprinkle all the greens of parsley, dill and any other herbs that you have to taste. Stir the ingredients and leave them to ripen for several hours.

Approximately in 3 hours cucumbers will start up juice. When the liquid in the pan becomes sufficient (after another hour), it can be set on fire. Boil the preparation of cucumbers should be on low heat until boiling, then mix and hold for another 10 minutes. Ready salad can be left to cool and serve, or to make preservation.

Spin cans must be sterilized, boiled cans and lids will create better storage conditions for a long time. Fill each jar with cucumber slices and pour the brine out of the pan, then roll it up, put the lid down in a dark and cold place, carefully wrapping it in a blanket. After a day you need to check the status of the cans and arrange them on the shelves in the closet.
