Cold-prepared pickles are kept warm (at room temperature) for the first 5-7 days, then the fermentation process is stopped and the preparations are transferred to a refrigerator or cool cellar for storage for the winter. As soon as the brine stops seeping through the lid - a signal (!) - the jars are cooled, and in this way the cucumbers are not allowed to sour or soften. There is no need to seal the containers hermetically; usually nylon/glass lids are used, and the water for brine can be melted, boiled, or any cold.

To pickle crispy cucumbers in a cold way for the winter, we will take the following products. They are enough for a 3-liter jar.

Place aromatic additives into a sterile jar: leaves, garlic, pepper, dill, bay leaf. Currant and horseradish leaves are also suitable - a traditional bouquet.

Load in clean cucumbers.

Add salt, preferably sea salt.

Fill to the top with cold water.

Pour in dry mustard (also good in grains), add a couple more leaves of greenery.

We pull the plastic cover on, place the tray and leave it in any warm place, hidden from direct sunlight, in the shade. We monitor the preparation for the next 5-7 days. A trickle of brine will seep out from under the lid, and the cucumbers themselves will begin to lose their bright color and darken.

Perhaps, cold pickling of cucumbers for the winter is the simplest recipe, suitable for those who do not like pickled vegetables and prefer pickles. We leave the jar for storage on the shelf of the refrigerator or cellar, and supplement the diet with hodgepodge, vinaigrettes, and pickles at any time of the year. Bon appetit!

It is a known historical fact that the natives of the Pacific Islands, in order to preserve cucumbers for a long time in case of crop failure, buried them in the ground, wrapping them in banana leaves. Our ancestors preferred their own, simpler way - they began to pickle cucumbers and did it in a cold way, that is, in cold water.

If you don’t know, I’ll explain a little how cold salting differs from hot salting. Difference in brine temperature. When hot, the brine is poured into jars that have just boiled, without cooling. When pickling cucumbers using the first method, the preservation is filled only with cold water. This is the simplest, and one might even say lazy, option for preparing for the winter.

Cold-processed cucumbers for the winter in jars

Recipes for cold-salted pickles are not much different from each other and are very simple to execute, but there are several nuances that you should know about so that your preparation does not disappoint you when tasting.

  • Be sure to soak the cucumbers the day before pickling for at least a couple of hours, during which time they will absorb water and this will make them dense, and even crispy.
  • Try to take greens of the same size so that they are evenly salted.
  • Don’t forget that for pickling you need to take a cucumber of a variety intended for pickling; they have black thorns. Fruits with light colors are salad fruits, you can also take them, but in this case, be sure to cut off the butts.
  • Place the greens in the jars vertically - this way more will go in, but do not compact them too tightly; tightly packed ones will not have a tasty crunch.
  • Salt in what? Yes, it’s all the same. Our ancestors did this traditionally in barrels or tubs, now we do it in 3-liter jars or enamel pans, it practically does not affect the taste.
  • Which lid to cover also doesn’t really matter. But jars under a nylon lid require indispensable storage in the cold; those rolled up under an iron lid can be left in an apartment. But a lot still depends on the recipe.
  • There is no need to sterilize the jars; just wash them thoroughly.
  • Use regular, coarse salt - iodized or very fine salt is not suitable, because they will make the vegetables soft.
  • To give the preparation a special taste, you can put onions, carrots, sweet peppers, and squash into the winter preparation. You can diversify the marinade using not only the usual spices, such as garlic, dill or pepper. Hot pepper, basil, and cherry leaves would be appropriate. Many people like to put oak leaf and horseradish leaves.
Attention! There is no need to put currant leaves in jars when cold salting cucumbers. They promote the formation of mold.

If the brine becomes cloudy during the salting process, do not be alarmed - this is a natural process. Time will pass, and it will become light again, and the foam will disappear.

Cucumber is one of the most beloved and affordable vegetables in Russia. This herbaceous plant, known for more than six thousand years, is native to Southeast Asia and India. Cucumber seeds were brought to Russia around the eighth century, and since then this vegetable has become widespread throughout the Russian state. With certain skills, you can grow it on any summer cottage and even on your loggia or balcony.

Foreign travelers considered this vegetable our national food; not a single feast was without can't do without fresh and crispy pickled cucumbers. They are used as an independent aromatic and savory appetizer, and as a component of favorite salads (for example, Olivier salad and vinaigrette), and as an additive to sauces, and as a dressing for soups (for example, solyanka).

But cucumber in Russia is a seasonal vegetable, summer and autumn. To many housewives I want to treat my family and loved ones with salted, crispy homemade cucumbers in late autumn, cold winter, and early spring, when there is no new harvest yet, but you want something tasty. Of course, you can buy a ready-made jar of salted or pickled vegetables in the supermarket, but where is the guarantee that it will be tasty?

Secrets of making crispy pickles at home

It is very important to obtain good pickles for the winter:

  • selection and processing of all components for salting
  • choosing a cooking recipe.

Selection of vegetables and herbs for pickling cucumbers

Cucumbers. We choose fresh, smooth, preferably young fruits of the same size with a dense, coarsely lumpy skin and black spines (with white spines, they are good for fresh salad). Cucumbers should be chosen small or small (gherkins) so that they fit freely in the jar, taste sweet, are dense with small seeds, and have no internal voids.

If you buy fruits for harvesting at the market, then ask the seller about the variety. For harvesting, you need cucumbers of special pickling varieties (Nezhensky, Muromsky, Vyaznikovsky, Altai and many similar ones).

Water. When preparing cucumbers, water is a very important component for preparing marinade or brine. Best to use spring, spring or well water. If this is not possible, then it is better to buy purified drinking water in a supermarket or pass tap water through a filter.

Spices and seasonings. Traditionally, garlic, horseradish (root and green leaves), cherry and currant leaves, dill (umbrellas with seeds and green leaves), black bitter and allspice (peas) are used. Each recipe has its secrets in the selection of herbs and spices, but the main thing: all herbs, leaves, roots must be well washed and cleared of soil, be fresh and fragrant. You should not use dried herbs.

Pickling jars. You can prepare pickles for winter storage in glass jars of any size. But very important wash the container thoroughly, or better yet, soak in a solution of baking soda for a while, then rinse well, sterilize and dry thoroughly in air.

Choosing a recipe for winter pickling cucumbers

Many recipes for preparing pickled crispy cucumbers at home are popular. Before pickling according to any recipe, it is advisable to soak the cucumbers in cold water (preferably well or spring) for at least 2 hours (ideally 8–10 hours).

To determine the right amount of water The cucumbers are first placed in a jar and filled with water up to the neck, then the water is poured into a saucepan. From this amount of water the brine for pouring will be prepared.

All components must be washed well, jars sterilized, cucumbers pre-soaked!

Coarsely chop all the greens (dill, cherry and currant leaves, horseradish leaves and root), peel the garlic and cut large cloves into 3 - 4 parts. You can trim the ends of prepared cucumbers if you need to speed up the pickling process.

Place some of the chopped herbs on the bottom of the jar, then place the cucumbers tightly, sprinkling with herbs and garlic, to the very top. Cucumbers in a jar with herbs should sit for a while before adding brine to soak in the aromas.

The brine is prepared at the rate of two tablespoons of table salt (without a slide) per liter of water. Taken in advance a certain volume of water, add the calculated amount of salt, pepper, and several pieces of bay leaves. The solution is brought to a boil and poured boiling into a jar with cucumbers.

Cover the jar with a lid or gauze and leave to sour at room temperature. Gradually, the brine in the jars will become cloudy, and the cucumbers will begin to pickle. In about 2 days You should taste the cucumber, if it is salted and slightly sour, then we proceed to preservation.

Pour the brine from the jar into a container (you can use it together with herbs), boil it and pour it back into the jar with cucumbers, then quickly roll it up. If jars of cucumbers will be stored in a warm room, and not in a basement or cellar, then before sealing the lid, add a tablespoon of five percent vinegar to the jar.
