Pickled cucumbers in sterilized jars - a recipe for pickling cucumbers for the winter.

It is advisable to pickle fresh cucumbers, recently picked from the garden. First, you need to wash them well, cut off the “tails” and “spouts”. If the cucumbers are picked earlier, you can fill them with cold water for 1-2 hours.

Then, you need to prepare the jars. Wash them thoroughly and scald the lids with boiling water.

How to pickle cucumbers in sterilized jars.

First, place 2-3 grains of allspice and bitter black pepper, 2 small bay leaves, 2-3 grains of cloves on the bottom. Chop 1-2 cloves of garlic, currant leaves, cherries, dill, horseradish. There should be approximately 15 grams of greens in total. Some of the greens will go to the bottom of the jar, and the rest will go on top of the cucumbers.

Place the cucumbers in jars and pour hot marinade sauce (see how to prepare it Here).

Cover the jars with metal lids and send for sterilization. The required sterilization time for 1-liter jars is 8-10 minutes, and for 3-liter jars it is 18-20 minutes. The countdown for processing workpieces starts from the moment the liquid boils in the container where the jars are located.

All that remains to be done is to roll up the lids and place them on the neck to “dress” the jars in a blanket or coat.

As you can see, pickling cucumbers is very simple and absolutely not scary. So, novice housewives, do not be afraid, but feel free to do your homework.
