Sweet and sour cucumbers in jars without vinegar

Crispy cucumber comes in different varieties, pickled or sweet and sour. Not everyone likes vinegar and vinegar-based marinades. Cucumbers cooked in a citric acid-based marinade do not taste particularly spicy; the marinade turns out softer and slightly sweeter. You can cook cucumbers and zucchini this way. The main thing is to store jars of citric acid-based preserves in a cool, dark place, such as a cellar.

This is the second year I’ve been making this recipe; last year it was a great success. Just make sure to make extra brine; when refilling, there may not be enough
