How to prepare Nezhinsky cucumber salad for the winter

To make Nezhinsky salad we need 1 kilogram of fresh cucumbers. The size, of course, is not particularly important, but it is better to take ones that are not very thick. Soak the cucumbers in cold water for several hours. I usually do this in the morning before work, and in the evening I calmly do the preparations.

After soaking, the cucumbers turn bright green. We wash them thoroughly and dry them with a towel. Cut off the butts. Each cucumber must be carefully cut into rings no more than 5 millimeters thick. If your cucumbers are large, then the wheels will need to be cut into halves or quartered.

Onion, we need 200 grams of it, peel it and cut it into thin half rings, the thickness of which is approximately 3 millimeters.

We take dill to taste. For such a volume of cucumbers, I think 4 sprigs of store-bought dill will be enough.It’s just that my dill comes not from branches, but from large “paws” from my own garden. If in grams, then it is 25 grams. Wash and chop the aromatic herbs.

Add onion, dill, 2/3 tablespoon of salt, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of 9% vinegar to the cucumbers.

Mix the contents, trying not to break the cucumber rings. We do everything very carefully. The cucumber-onion mixture now needs to stand for 2 hours. There is no need to put it in the refrigerator.

Closer to the end of the specified time sterilize jars and lids. Place 4 black peppercorns and a small piece of bay leaf into clean, dry jars. You don’t need a lot of laurel (you can do without it altogether). Place the cucumber salad on top, gently pressing it down with a spoon.

Cover the workpiece with clean lids and let it sit for another 20 minutes.

Now, backwardness is only sterilize the workpiece. We heat half-liter jars in a water bath for 10 minutes, liter jars for 15-20 minutes.

Do not forget that we count time from the beginning of boiling of water.

As a result of the simple preparation described above, I got exactly 2 jars of 700 milliliters each from the specified amount of products. Nezhinsky cucumber salad is stored as standard, like most winter preparations - in a cool place.
