Large cucumbers for the winter


You can create a million ideas on how to prepare large cucumbers for the winter. But perhaps the most delicious sliced ​​cucumber salad is presented below...

Bulgarian pickled cucumbers

There are no greens in the recipe, and there is no need to cook the marinade either - and this is very convenient. You can preserve whole cucumbers or cut them into slices, add tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and onions.

Ingredients

My recipe especially for the site With Your Own Hands in the winter preservation section.

This recipe is very interesting story. It was invented back in the days of total shortage, when pickled cucumbers under the Globus brand disappeared from the shelves instantly. In order not to waste time searching and queuing, cucumbers, which taste like a scarce imported product, began to be rolled up at home.

The recipe is called “Bulgarian-style pickled cucumbers.”

For a 700 gram jar we need:

Cucumbers (whole or sliced) – how many will go in?

A few peas of allspice

1-2 cloves of garlic

1 bay leaf (optional, it's a matter of taste)

Half a teaspoon of mustard seeds

A teaspoon of salt (without a slide)

Two teaspoons of sugar (without a slide)

40 ml. vinegar 9% (I add 6%)

Prepare cucumbers, cut into slices

Soak the cucumbers in cold water for several hours - then they will turn out strong and crispy. Then wash it thoroughly and cut into pieces.

We put everything in jars

At the bottom of clean jars (I sterilize over steam) we place all the seasonings, garlic, dill. Fill the jars with cucumbers.

Now pour salt and sugar into each jar, pour in vinegar.

Fill the jars with cold water (not boiled!) straight from the tap.

We sterilize

Place in a pan for sterilization. Be sure to put gauze on the bottom (it needs to be folded in several layers) or a napkin or kitchen towel.

Cover the jars with clean lids. Pour in cold water until it reaches the jars' shoulders.

Very important so that the water in the jars and in the pan is the same temperature - then the vegetables will warm up evenly.

Let the water boil. From the moment the water boils in the pan, we count the time - 700-gram jars are sterilized in exactly 5 minutes. If you do in liter jar– 7 minutes, a 3-liter bottle needs 15 minutes to sterilize.

We take out the jars and immediately roll them up. Turn it upside down; if the sugar has not completely dissolved, shake the jar vigorously and leave to cool.

Bulgarian cucumbers are stored at room temperature.

Pickled sliced ​​cucumbers

If you like sliced ​​cucumbers, here is another recipe.

Often when harvesting you can encounter cucumbers " irregular shape"or already yellowed.

For preparation you will need (based on a 3-liter jar)

5 cloves garlic

3 pieces of dill inflorescences

5 currant leaves

10 pieces of black peppercorns (or a piece of hot pepper).

100 grams of sugar

Before cooking, soak the cucumbers in cold water for 5-6 hours, then they will not taste bitter. Cut the well-washed cucumbers into slices. Place spices at the bottom of the jar and circles of cucumbers on top.

Prepare the marinade (boil water with sugar and salt, pour in the vinegar after removing from heat) and immediately pour it over the sliced ​​cucumbers. Cover the jars with lids and seal tightly.

Turn them over and cover them with a blanket until cool. In winter, cucumbers prepared in this way will only need to be opened and presented directly to the table.
