Cucumbers with turmeric - delicious cucumber salad for the winter

Everyone I treated to it really liked this pickled cucumber salad with turmeric. Therefore, today the recipe has spread among friends and acquaintances. I suggest you make original cucumbers with turmeric for the winter. I give a step-by-step American recipe with photos to everyone. 🙂

The main ingredient is turmeric - try to buy natural and fresh. It should be bright yellow.

Since the recipe is American, everything is indicated in measurements, which is 236 mg. For simplicity, I assumed it was 1 heaping glass. So let's take:

• 15 measures of thinly sliced ​​cucumbers (you can even take slightly overripe ones);
• 3 onions;
• 3 cloves of garlic;
• ¼ measure of coarse salt;
• 2.5 measures of apple cider vinegar;
• 4 scoops crushed ice;
• 2.5 measures of sugar (don’t be surprised, the taste is sweet and sour);
• 1 tbsp. spoons of mustard seeds;
• 0.5 teaspoon of celery seeds (parsley or cilantro can be used);
• a teaspoon of turmeric.

From all this you will get approximately three liter jars of pickled cucumber salad.

How to make cucumber and turmeric salad for the winter

Cucumbers need to be washed thoroughly.

Peel the onions and garlic from dry skins and wash them too.

Cut the cucumbers into thin rings, the onion into rings or half rings, and the garlic into large slices.

Mix cucumbers, salt, onion and ice. Place under the press for 3 hours. The cucumbers will settle and release juice together with the melted ice. Drain off all the juice. It won't be useful. Put the remaining ingredients into the pan: sugar, turmeric, vinegar, seeds and coarsely chopped garlic, add cucumbers and put on low heat. Heat and bring to a boil, but do not boil! During the heating process, juice will appear again. This is what we pour into the cucumbers prepared jars, sterilize for 10 minutes and twist.

As you can see, an unusual cucumber salad for the winter is prepared simply and quickly, and the result is not only tasty, but beautiful and impressive.

Turmeric pickled cucumbers are made due to the presence of bright yellow powder that is golden yellow in color. A great addition to any side dish and table decoration.
