How to pickle gherkins in liter jars for the winter

We start preparing the product by placing a pan on the hob and pouring clean water. Let's boil.

In the meantime, we sterilize the jars and lids using your usual method.

At the bottom of the jars we drop an umbrella of dill, a leaf of black currant, raspberry or grape, a few black peppercorns, a bay leaf and a clove star.

Place the gherkins in prepared jars.

Bring the water in the pan to a boil again and immediately pour it into a container filled with gherkins.

After 10 minutes, drain the water from the cans back into the pan and bring to a boil.

Pour boiling water into the jars and let the cucumbers warm up for another 10 minutes.

Pour the contents of the jars into a saucepan and add salt and sugar. Mix.

After making sure that the sugar and salt have dissolved well, bring it to a boil again and at the end add 9% vinegar.

Fill the jars with the prepared marinade.

Immediately screw the prepared lids tightly and turn them upside down.

When time passes and the workpieces have cooled, move them to a cool place.

By following all the recommendations described in the recipe, you can get delicious and most importantly crispy gherkins, which will be great as a snack.
