Crispy pickles without vinegar

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 day 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make crispy pickles for the winter without vinegar? For all cucumbers to be preserved, there is a mandatory rule: the vegetables must be soaked in cold water for at least two hours. And the longer the soaking time, the better.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the ends off both sides of the cucumbers.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare a salted solution. One liter of water contains one hundred grams of salt.

4. STEP 4

   

   There is no need to sterilize the jars for this recipe, since the fermentation process lies ahead. They just need to be washed well. Place oak leaves, chili peppers, sliced ​​garlic and chopped parsley root on the bottom of each jar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the cucumbers in jars vertically, close to each other.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the salted brine prepared earlier over the cucumbers. The salt should have already dissolved by this time.

7. STEP 7

   

   Be sure to place the jars on trays or plates and cover with lids. Containers under the jars are necessary so that the brine flows into them during the fermentation process, and not onto the working surfaces.

8. STEP 8

   

   After four days at room temperature, a white precipitate will form in the jars of cucumbers, the brine will become cloudy, and the cucumbers will change color. This is how it should be, this indicates that the cucumbers have fermented.

9. STEP 9

   

   Now the brine needs to be poured out. Rinse the jars, along with the cucumbers, with drinking water from the tap. You need to get rid of the white sediment from the cucumbers and from the bottom. After that, fill the jars with ordinary drinking cold water to the very top; there should be as if “heaping” of water. Seal the jars with lids that have been scalded with boiling water. Then the jars should remain in a visible place for another week, after which they will be ready to be collected for storage.

And my grandfather also adds caraway seeds!! and looks for smaller cucumbers and the same size!!! Well, we usually store it for more than a year so that it soaks in much better and turns out tastier!! It’s true that our jars sometimes explode, which I don’t understand (((maybe from shaking or from the fact that we don’t tighten them properly!! Well, in general, the brine turns out so cool that when drinking you can do without juices and drinks!!! And sometimes Cucumbers absorb so much brine that you need to add a lot of water!!!
