22 July 2017,
From crispy pickled cucumbers and zucchini in winter, no one will refuse at the table. And in order not to go shopping later, I recommend preparing these vegetables in the summer. There are many different recipes for marinades. Today I propose to cook for the winter with grated carrots and onions, and without sterilization at all. And what is interesting in this recipe is the use of citric acid in the marinade.
Preparation time: 20 minutes.
Cooking time: 30 minutes.
Ingredients per liter jar:
small ground cucumbers
carrots 2 pcs.
one medium bulb
currant leaf 3 pcs.
a mixture of spicy spices for cucumbers a handful
sugar 1.5 tbsp. l.
regular (non-iodized) salt 0.5 tbsp. l.
water 550-600 ml
citric acid 0.5 tsp (without slide)

Pickled cucumbers with zucchini for the winter: a recipe with a photo for a liter jar

Rinse the ground cucumbers and fill them with cold water in a basin. Leave the cucumbers for 3 hours. If you have recently picked cucumbers (on the day of harvesting), then it will be enough for them to lie down for only 1 hour in water. Zucchini can also be soaked with cucumbers.

Sterilize the jars with steam or in the oven, boil the lids in water. Throw a few currant leaves into a jar and add a mixture of spicy spices for cucumbers. Instead of this mixture, you can throw a pinch of allspice and a few cloves, one bay leaf.

Cucumbers and young zucchini tightly fill in a jar up to half.

Grate the carrots and add to the jar in a middle layer. Put the chopped onion rings there.

Fill the jars to the top with the remaining cucumbers and zucchini, cover with the rest of the carrots. If desired, you can throw a clove of garlic to the cucumbers.

Next, you need to pour boiling water over the cucumbers and cover with a lid. Let the vegetables warm up for 10 minutes. Drain the cooled water into the pan and repeat the pouring process again.

Make a marinade based on water from cucumbers or pour new water. Add sugar and salt and boil on the stove. After a few minutes, add citric acid and pour cucumbers and zucchini with grated carrots and onions. Immediately roll up the jar with a lid and cover it, putting it upside down.

Not all of you like vinegar in preparations, but these cucumbers are prepared with the addition of citric acid. She will act as a preservative, as vinegar does. Cucumbers with zucchini are fragrant and crispy.
