How to pickle cucumbers like in a store
For this preparation I take small cucumbers. You need as many of them as will fit into a 3 liter jar.
You also need salt, dill, sugar, and water for preparation. To give a bright aroma to the preparation, you need a bay leaf. Garlic, horseradish leaf and black pepper will add spice. And of course, you will need vinegar.
First, wash the cucumbers and fill them with water for 3 hours. During this time my and I sterilize jar.
Cutting off the ends, I place the cucumbers in it. I also add a couple of bay leaves, garlic - 5 cloves, black peppercorns - 5 pieces, horseradish - one leaf.
I fill the jar with cucumbers and spices with boiling water. I do this carefully and gradually so that the glass can withstand the pressure of boiling water.
I'm waiting for it to cool down. I drain the water. I pour boiling water over the future crispy delicacy again - for the second time. I'm waiting for the preparations for the winter to cool down again.
Now, I pour the water into the pan.I add sugar to it - 3/4 cup, salt - 3 tbsp. spoons. After bringing to a boil, remove from heat. And pour in 2.5 tbsp. spoons 70% vinegar essence.
I pour the marinade over the cucumbers. I'm rolling up. I turn it over. I'm wrapping it up. A day later, I send the pickled cucumbers to the cellar to be stored in the store.
I use this preparation in winter for delicious salads. Here is my simple recipe for pickling cucumbers, just like in the store. They turn out crispy, spicy-sweet and do not require sterilization. Be sure to try it!
