Cucumbers in Hungarian style

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 12 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to pickle cucumbers the Hungarian way? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Wash the vegetables, peel and rinse the onions and carrots.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the jars thoroughly with mustard or baking soda in hot water and rinse thoroughly. Cut the carrots into slices and the onions into slices. Place some of the onions and carrots in the bottom of sterilized jars. Jars can be sterilized in any way. This can be done over steam, in the oven, or like I did in the microwave. To do this, pour 2 centimeters of water into the jars and sterilize for 4 minutes at a power of 1000 W. Boil the lids for 10 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut off the ends of clean cucumbers and place them mixed with chopped vegetables up to the hangers of the jars.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour water into a saucepan and add sugar, stir.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt to the pan. It is best to take coarsely ground salt, since finely ground salt is easy to oversalt, and iodized salt can cause a spontaneous explosion. Although it is already believed that this is not the case, it is still not worth the risk.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Sugar and salt should completely dissolve. Pour vinegar into the pan and bring to a boil again.

7. STEP 7

   

   Fill jars of cucumbers with marinade to the very top.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour hot water into a deep pan and place a clean cloth on the bottom, cover the jars with lids and place in the pan. The jars should be lowered into the water to 2/3 of the height. Place everything over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat a little and after bubbles appear on the walls inside the jar, sterilize for 10 minutes, remove and immediately roll up. Wrap jars upside down until completely cool, then store in a cool, dry place.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bon appetit!
