I decided that it was time to open the season of winter preparations and started with cucumbers and onion salad for the winter. I decided not to add dill this time. I did everything as described in the recipe. The jars were sterilized in the microwave. I filled the jar with about 1 cm of water and turned on the microwave for 3 minutes. It turned out very appetizing and aromatic) The next batch I will make with dill.

Now I'm preparing for the winter. The recipe is very helpful and not at all complicated. I didn’t know what to cook from overgrown cucumbers. Thanks to the creators of the site! The only thing that has changed is the capping method. I didn’t sterilize it in jars, but put the already boiled salad in jars. This saves a little time, which is very useful for a very busy housewife. The salad turned out very tasty. I RECOMMEND THE RECIPE AND LEAVE IT FOR MY COOKBOOK!!!

The recipe is very helpful. I must say that it is not at all difficult. I'm just preparing for the winter. I didn't know what to cook using only cucumbers. Thanks to the creators of the site! This site is a real culinary encyclopedia. This recipe will be a new addition to my personal cookbook. I’m already using the Cookbook and couldn’t be happier! The recipes in the cookbook are very diverse. And using folders created by yourself is very convenient. After all, who, if not the recipe collector, knows what to write down where? I'm glad that the recipe book is provided for free.

I advise you to pasteurize no more than 10 minutes for a 0.5 liter jar. Then they will crunch.
