Homemade crispy pickles in jars

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 day 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade crispy pickles in jars for the winter Prepare food, jars, lids. Choose medium-sized cucumbers for pickling; it is better that they are all approximately the same size. I have cucumbers from my own garden. I always plant more so that I can eat fresh and have enough for canning. Next, I want to share with you a recipe I have tested, in which I describe in detail how to preserve homemade crispy pickles in jars for the winter.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut off the ends.

3. STEP 3

   

   At the same time, prepare the spices.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the jars thoroughly and place green horseradish leaves, currant leaves, cherry branches with leaves, and garlic and dill on the bottom. The greens can be pre-chopped: cut with a knife or torn with your hands.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place a layer of cucumbers on top. Place the cucumbers standing, like “soldiers,” one next to the other. This way, more of them fit into the jar, and no voids form in the container. On the bottom row of “soldiers” put the greens and garlic again, the next row of “soldiers” and again the greens and garlic. You have made the jar beautiful, and now prepare the brine.

6. STEP 6

   

   For one three-liter jar, take three tablespoons of salt, dissolve them in water and pour into the jar. Tie the jar with gauze and leave to ferment for three days. After three days, pour the brine from the jar into a saucepan, boil it for 15 minutes and pour the hot mixture over the cucumbers. The next day, repeat the boiling and seal the jar. Wrap hot jars and leave until they cool completely. Place cold jars in the basement for long-term storage.

Oh, who can refuse a pickled cucumber?! I decided to make homemade crispy pickles in jars for the winter using this recipe. There is absolutely nothing complicated in preparation, but the process is long. I collected homemade cucumbers, washed them, and cut off the edges. I took everything from the list of spices: horseradish, currant leaves, cherry leaves, garlic, and dill with an umbrella. I made it in liter jars, it’s more convenient for me. I placed spices on the bottom, then folded the cucumbers tightly. I prepared the brine, it turned out delicious, moderately salty. I left the jars of cucumbers under gauze for three days, as the author describes. Then I poured hot brine and then repeated the procedure. I put the jars of cucumbers in the basement. I decided to try one soon. Yes, that's them! Salty, crispy, delicious cucumbers! Great recipe! I recommend it to everyone! Thanks to the author!

Believe it or not, this is my first time salting cucumbers. One day everyone was treating themselves to mom’s food, and then she asked her mother-in-law if men love it like mom’s. Although I myself prefer salted ones. Well, I used the styling from the recipe, my beauties are standing in a jar, infusing

And after the jars are closed, should they remain in the refrigerator or not? My mother-in-law always keeps these cucumbers in the basement or refrigerator, but we don’t have that option, so we do everything with vinegar. But pickled cucumbers are tastier than pickled ones.

I do almost the same thing and easily store it in my apartment - without a refrigerator, not a single jar has exploded yet!

And when you re-boil, do you add more water and salt? The water evaporates.

Today is the 2nd day that the cucumbers have been standing. I decided to check and found white mold along the edge of the water... What should I do? My cucumbers died, right?
