So the time has come for vitamin, vegetables and fruits. I really love all sorts of pickles, for example, pickle tomatoes, sweet peppers, cabbage, zucchini, mushrooms. But my favorite snack is crispy lightly salted cucumbers. I have tested the recipe for lightly salted cucumbers over the years, my grandmother also salted them like that. Cucumbers are crispy and spicy in taste. The secret is simple, before pickling, cucumbers need to be pierced with a thin knife and held in cold water for a couple of hours. Then the cucumbers turn out crispy, like in a jar. Simple brine, salt, sugar, peppercorns, water. Be sure to add fresh dill, umbrellas, blackcurrant leaves, horseradish leaves to the jar for salting. Such a bouquet of spices will create a delicious taste and aroma of salted crispy cucumbers. In principle, according to this recipe, they can be rolled up in jars for the winter.

For cooking according to the classic recipe with a photo, we need 1 day, the number of servings is 6.

Ingredients:

Fresh cucumbers, preferably small - 1 kilogram

Rock salt - 1 tablespoon

White sugar - 3 tablespoons

Table vinegar 9% - 1.5 tablespoons

Allspice peas - 4 pieces

Fresh dill, umbrellas - 2 sprigs

Blackcurrant leaves - 1 sprig

Horseradish leaves - 1 piece

Filtered water - 1 liter.

Classic pickled cucumber recipe:

We buy fresh cucumbers in the market or pick fresh cucumbers in the garden, small ones are better, so that it tastes better. We cut off the buttocks. We pierce them in different places with a thin knife. Fill with cold water and set aside for 2 hours to stand. Then the cucumbers are crispy.

I'm preparing the brine. Pour water into the pan, throw allspice with peas, you can add black.

Pour rock salt, not extra.

Also add sugar.

We buy a pickling kit on the market - dill, blackcurrant leaves and horseradish. Of course you need to wash the greens.

The water boiled. Add vinegar.

We put the greens for pickling in a glass jar, put the cucumbers tightly and pour everything with hot brine. You can also put garlic, bitter pepper, cloves or tarragon in a jar.

We put a jar on the windowsill or all this can be salted in a saucepan. Let the cucumbers stand warm for 5 hours.

And then overnight in the refrigerator.

That's all, crispy salted cucumbers are ready! Fast and tasty, we have prepared a great snack for the whole family. The main thing is all natural, without dyes. are crispy and delicious. You can also add them to salads. And for conservation for the winter is a great recipe. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, but I always run out earlier!
