How to make lady fingers salad from overgrown cucumbers

And so, let's take 2 kilograms of normal or overgrown cucumbers. Fill them with cold water for 4 hours or overnight. This will add crunchiness to the finished cucumbers. Dry the soaked cucumbers with a towel, cut them into finger-like slices approximately 7 centimeters long and no more than 1 centimeter thick. Large cucumbers will have to be cut lengthwise not into 4 parts, but into 6 or 8. The number of slices cut depends on the diameter of the cucumber. Large seeds, of course, should be removed.

Let's decide on the size of the cans. I have them in 700 grams. Place 4 cloves of garlic, previously cut in half, at the bottom of clean and sterile jars. Add 4 black peppercorns and a piece of hot pepper. If you don’t like spicy preparations, then you don’t have to add hot pepper.

Next, we arrange according to banks chopped cucumbers, as tightly as possible. Top the cucumbers with 1 heaping tablespoon of sugar and 1.5 teaspoon of salt. Add 1.5 teaspoons of 9% vinegar and 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Let me remind you that the calculation is based on 700 milliliter jars.

The next step is to fill the jars with cold boiled water.

Cover with lids and place the workpieces in the pan in which we will conduct sterilization. At the bottom, under the jars, we first place a piece of fabric. Only after all the jars are installed, pour cold water into the pan up to the hangers of the containers being sterilized. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and start counting down the time - 20 minutes.

During sterilization, the cucumbers will give juice and the jars will be completely filled with brine.

Then we twist or roll up the blanks and cover them with a warm blanket until they cool completely.

As you can see, everything is extremely simple. Cucumbers should be stored in a cool place: a cellar or basement. From the declared volume of products, 4 jars of 700 milliliters each were obtained. Enjoy your meal!
