How to quickly pickle cucumbers for the winter

The preparation of any workpiece begins with the preparatory stage. To ensure that canning cucumbers at home does not take much time, you need to prepare the main ingredients in advance.

First, soak the washed cucumbers in cold water for about 4-5 hours. You can soak it overnight. This is necessary so that in the future the cucumbers, under the influence of high temperature, do not lose their pleasant crunch.

• parsley and dill;
• Bay leaf;
• allspice peas;
• fresh blackcurrant leaves.

For each jar of everything listed above you need to put 3-4 pieces.

After the cucumbers have soaked in water, it is necessary to peel them from the stalk and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

When the preparatory work is completed, you can proceed directly to the process of preparing the workpiece.

Place all seasonings at the bottom of the jar, except garlic, pepper, bay leaf.

Then, put the washed cucumbers in a jar, fill everything with boiled water and let it cool. Afterwards, drain the water and measure the amount of liquid in liters.

• 3 tbsp. spoons of salt;
• 3 tbsp. spoons of sugar;
• 125 g 9% vinegar.

Add salt and sugar to measured water and bring to a boil. Then, carefully pour in the vinegar and add all the other spices to the container.
