Secrets of cucumbers canning

It is very important not only to choose the right cucumbers correctly, but also to pour them with an ideal brine. After all, if you do not be able to observe the balance between salt and sugar, then the taste of the finished product will turn out not very pleasant

Small cucumbers in which there are still no large number of seeds are ideal for pickling. It is also desirable that they are approximately the same size. This will allow them to put them more compactly in a jar, leaving a minimum number of voids

Secrets that will help to roll cucumbers correctly for the winter:

If you want the cucumbers to keep their beautiful green color, then before laying in the banks pour them with boiling water. Just do not keep them in it for a very long time. Try to drain the water as quickly as possible, and then quickly cool the vegetables to room temperature

The biggest problem of absolutely all canned vegetables is mold. If you want to avoid its appearance, then put in a jar to the cucumbers several small pieces of fresh horseradish root. This acute spice will not only not allow pathogenic microflora to multiply, but will make the marinade more interesting, which you will use to fill

If you like cucumbers with crunch, then choose vegetables with a rather thick skin for canning. It is such varieties that remain solid after pickling, without requiring vodka, cognac and other non -standard components. Fruits with thin skin are suitable only for making fresh salads

**Sterilization of cans for pickling cucumbers**

Each housewife knows how important the cucumbers and the containers in which they will be folded are properly prepared. Therefore, first, sort through the vegetables and try to divide them by suitable sizes. Put small cucumbers into liter jars, and more fruits in two- or three-liter. Before laying them in a container, be sure to soak them in cold water for 2-3 hours. During this time, cucumbers will drink water and become even harder and crispy

While vegetables will be recruited by firmness, you can do banks. To begin with, rinse them with a detergent for dishes, and then thoroughly rinse them under running water. Then repeat all the same manipulations, but instead of a detergent, use food soda. If the bank will be washed correctly, then it will creak when you spend your hand on it. At the final stage, conduct sterilization of the container. To do this, hold it over boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Also, be sure to sterilize the seating covers

And remember another rule, early greenhouse fruits are not suitable for pickling. Usually, the level of nitrates is always increased in such cucumbers, so it is forbidden to preserve them. Ideally, of course, you need to use your homemade vegetables to roll up. But if you do not have the opportunity to grow them, then wait for the July cucumbers to appear in the markets and supermarkets and feel free to use them for pickling
