Pickles in barrels with mustard in jars

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare pickles like barrels with mustard in jars for the winter? Prepare all the necessary products. Take fresh cucumbers, preferably only picked, small in size, with pimples - such cucumbers are ideal for pickling. Of course, you can pickle large cucumbers in this way - they are ideal for pickle soup and salads. If you have cucumbers that are not the first freshness, a little soft - put them in ice water for several hours

2. STEP 2

   

   First make the brine. For 1 liter of water, take 2 tablespoons of salt. Coarse rock salt is ideal for preservation. Boil the brine, then cool it completely to room temperature.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the cucumbers and remove excess debris. You can cut off the edges of cucumbers, or you don’t have to. I don’t cut off the edges. Place the cucumbers in a deep pan, bowl or any other container for pickling.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash all the indicated spices and herbs and add to the cucumbers. I have traditional herbs: currant leaf, cherry leaf, oak leaf, horseradish leaf and dill. But you can also add tarragon or some of your favorite herbs.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add garlic. The amount is up to your taste, you can even cut an unpeeled head of garlic across and add it. Someone will also add a bay leaf, allspice or a pod or rings of chili pepper - all this has its place and depends only on your taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Leave the cucumbers in a fairly warm place for 2-3 days. The time depends on the temperature of your room. But the brine should become cloudy, and foam may form on top. At a temperature of 20-22 degrees, two days is enough.

7. STEP 7

   

   Drain the brine into a separate bowl.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add mustard to the brine.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bring the brine to a boil. To avoid the possibility that there is suddenly not enough brine, add 1 glass of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sterilize the jars in any convenient way: in the microwave, in the oven or over steam. Rinse the cucumbers and place tightly in the jars. All herbs in which the cucumbers were fermented must be thrown away.

11. STEP 11

    

    Fill the jars with cucumbers with boiling brine.

12. STEP 12

    

    Immediately close the jars with lids or roll them up. No sterilization required. Such pickled cucumbers as barrels are perfectly stored in jars in an apartment without the addition of vinegar.

13. STEP 13

    

    Bon appetit!

This means they haven’t stood and fermented enough, or the jars have been poorly sterilized.. Two days is the fermentation time at an average temperature of about 20 degrees. But the main indicator is cloudy brine. I only prepare cucumbers this way and nothing has ever exploded.
