Pickled cucumbers in a jar for the winter

Today, I want to tell you the easiest way to make pickled cucumbers, which I started using quite recently, just three years ago. Pickled cucumbers in a jar are very tasty; preparation does not require sterilization, therefore, you do not need to spend a lot of time on preparation. I am posting my simple recipe with step by step photos.

How to prepare pickled cucumbers in a jar for the winter without sterilization

We start making the preparation by taking cucumbers and filling them with water for 4 to 8 hours.

After the time has passed, drain the water. We sterilize jars and put cucumbers there.

Usually, cucumbers are fermented in large quantities, but you can also use jars. At home, it is best to take three-liter bottles, but you can use a smaller volume. Boil water in the required volume and pour in the cucumbers.

In a 3 liter jar add 2 tablespoons of salt and one spoon of sugar. Add wreaths of dill, bay leaves and, if possible, add a horseradish leaf. If you like spicy cucumbers, you can add two or three cloves of garlic and hot pepper. We close the jar with a lid and let the cucumbers brew for three to four days.You can close with lids with screws, but it is best to use just nylon lids.

During this time, the pickled cucumbers in the jar will begin to ferment and the brine will become cloudy. When the specified time has passed, drain the brine, boil it and refill it in the jars.

After this, close the jar with a lid and leave to cool. This is how you can easily and simply ferment cucumbers for the winter without sterilization.

I advise all housewives, do not waste time pouring boiling water three times, it’s too long. Using this method and my step-by-step recipe, you will reduce cooking time and will not suffer from the heat while preparing for the winter. These pickled cucumbers in a jar are ideal for salads, as an appetizer, and will be appreciated by both your home eaters and guests.
