Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 12 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare pickled cucumbers with mustard for the winter? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose small cucumbers, not overripe, with pimples, without damage. Soak the cucumbers in cold water for several hours, then rinse and cut off the ends. Wash the mustard seeds as well. All products are indicated per 1 liter jar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the glass jar thoroughly using a stiff brush and baking soda. Pour boiling water over it. Boil the jar lid for 3-5 minutes. Place peeled garlic cloves, bay leaves, allspice and washed mustard seeds on the bottom. At this stage, you can put any herbs in the jar that are suitable for pickling vegetables: dill umbrellas, horseradish, and also add your own spices to taste, cloves, black peppercorns. Place

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the cucumbers as tightly as possible in the jar. Place water in a saucepan or kettle to boil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour boiling water over the cucumbers in the jar. However, this should not be done at once, right away, because... the jar may burst, especially if the cucumbers are cold. Pour boiling water gradually, in parts. Cover the filled jar with a sterile lid and let stand for 15 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the water from the jar into the pan using a special lid with holes. Bring water in a saucepan to a boil and add salt and sugar. Add vinegar to the jar itself. Pour boiling brine over the cucumbers and immediately seal the jar tightly. It is not recommended to cover such cucumbers so that they remain hard and crispy. Leave them at room temperature until completely cooled upside down. Happy harvesting!

I liked the recipe, thank you. There is also this option of pickled cucumbers with hot peppers and without mustard.

I made pickled cucumbers with mustard for the winter. The amount of salt and sugar per liter jar seemed excessive, but nevertheless I did not deviate from the recipe. I think that these cucumbers are best suited for salads and sandwiches, due to their richer taste. So I labeled this test jar for myself “for salads.” We'll try it in winter)). Thanks for the recipe, MariaS!

What an interesting recipe! I’ve never made pickled cucumbers with mustard for the winter before. The cucumbers were a great success, dense, crispy, aromatic. Thank you very much for the recipe!
