Instant lightly salted crispy cucumbers

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 5 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to quickly make lightly salted crispy cucumbers? Prepare the necessary ingredients. The quantity of products is indicated per one three-liter jar. Use coarse rock salt; fine salt will make the cucumbers soft. For those who like it spicy, you can add one hot capsicum. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and soak for 2 hours in cold water. This will make them crispy. Afterwards, rinse the cucumbers again and cut off the ends on both sides.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour water into a suitable sized saucepan and place on fire. When the water boils, pour salt, sugar and allspice into the pan. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove the pan from the heat and let the brine cool slightly.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash a three-liter jar with soda. Place half of the washed currant and cherry leaves, half a horseradish leaf, dill and parsley, chopped garlic on the bottom of the jar. It's better to use dill umbrellas, but I didn't have any. If you don't have currant and cherry leaves, you can add bay leaves for flavor.

4. STEP 4

   

   Next, place the cucumbers in the jar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the remaining greens on top of the cucumbers.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour warm brine into a jar with cucumbers. It should not be scalding, otherwise the cucumbers will cook and turn yellow. Cover the jar with a lid and leave until completely cool. You can eat cucumbers as soon as they have cooled, but it is better to put them in the refrigerator overnight. This will make them crispier. Bon appetit!

This is a great recipe for quick-cooking lightly salted crispy cucumbers! I pickled small cucumbers so that it would be easy to take them one at a time and eat them. I really like adding different herbs and leaves, they give off their unique aroma. Therefore, I took horseradish, cherry, black currant leaves and dill. Blackcurrant leaves are generally super fragrant, I also add them to tea along with mint. I cut the garlic into thin slices so that they would quickly share their pungent taste with the brine. The ratio of water, salt and sugar is ideal. In the photo, the cucumbers are two days old, but we started trying them within a day. Very tasty, crispy, aromatic, moderately salty! Great recipe, I recommend it!

It’s a good recipe, I’ve been using it for a long time, this time I went a little overboard with the salt, poured it into the eye... Still, the amount of salt should not be changed.

And I immediately cut the cucumbers into quarters, about 20 minutes - and you can crunch! Super country option.
