Canned cucumbers. Easy prescription (no sterilization)

A friend called me today and says: “Urgently give me a recipe for pickled cucumbers, without sterilization only! I don’t want to mess around with scalding cans, I’m afraid! Well, I'm not sorry, since a person asks. I have these recipes! And today I would like to share them with you.

I will also reveal some secrets: how to pickle cucumbers without sterilization so that they are well stored and do not explode. And what to do if, despite all the precautions, the brine still becomes cloudy. In fairness, it must be said that this happens extremely rarely. But we still have to be ready for any situation in order to meet it fully armed. So let's get started.

Pickled cucumbers without sterilization - a recipe for a 3 liter jar

Ingredients (based on one can of 3 liters):

1.5-1.8 kg of beautiful cucumbers with pimples;
1-2 pcs. dry dill with umbrellas;
Half a sheet of horseradish;
3-4 cloves of young garlic (or 1-2 cloves of regular);
2-3 pcs. cherry, blackcurrant or oak leaves (optional);
0.3-0.5 pcs. hot red pepper (also optional, if you like spicy).
For the marinade (for one three-liter jar):
1.5 liters of clean drinking water;
3 art. l. coarse salt (without a slide);
3-4 st. l. Sahara;
60 ml of vinegar (9%);
1-2 pcs. bay leaf;
5-6 black peppercorns.

what kind of cucumbers to take

One of the most important conditions is that cucumbers must be perfect: beautiful, even, fresh, small in size, with pimples. Smooth greenhouses will not work! A little spoiled - even more so. Since we will roll cucumbers without sterilization, we need to pay special attention to their quality.

how to prepare them

Also, cucumbers should be clean washed. Nowhere should not remain a drop of earth, dirt. If you have time, it is better to pre-soak the cucumbers in very cold water for a couple of hours. Then they will turn out more crispy and without voids inside.

about dishes and lids

The second condition is the purity and quality of jars and lids. Banks must be washed with hot water, preferably with soda, and then scalded with boiling water. Or briefly pour boiling water, then pour it out. We also scald brand new clean lids with boiling water.

The dishes have been prepared, now we will directly prepare pickled cucumbers without sterilization:

We put a pot of water on the stove for the marinade, let it heat up. In the meantime, cut off the noses and butts of the cucumbers.
At the bottom of each jar we put dill umbrellas and half a sheet of horseradish. Or you can divide the horseradish in half and put the second part on top when we fill the jars with cucumbers. You can also intersperse cucumbers with dill and horseradish stalks, placing them in a jar.
Next, put the cucumbers. First, we will arrange them vertically, and closer to the neck of the jar, you can already place them horizontally so that more cucumbers fit. Add hot pepper (optional).
When the water in the pan boils, pour it into jars with cucumbers, cover with lids and leave for 15 minutes. Then carefully pour the water back into the pot. To do this, it is convenient to use a special cover with holes. Be sure to handle the jars with a towel or oven mitts so you don't burn yourself. Although the water in them has cooled slightly, it is still hot.
Bring the water back to a boil in a saucepan, pour over the cucumbers in the jars. We leave, you guessed it, for the same 15 minutes. Next, pour the water back into the pot. And put the peeled and washed garlic cloves in jars.

Preparing the marinade:

We heat water, dissolve salt and sugar in it, add bay leaf, peppercorns.
At the very end, add vinegar, stir well and pour the boiling marinade into jars.
Screw on the lids. If the covers are ordinary, we do this with a special key. If they are twisting, then we screw them very tightly.
Let's turn the cans over, check if air comes out of them. If you hear even the slightest hiss, return the jar to its original state and tighten the lid. Or change it to another one and roll it up again. Perhaps the lid came across to you with a defect, an elastic band is coming off somewhere, because of this, the jars will not be airtight and may become cloudy and even explode. It's better not to risk it.
After we roll up all the jars, turn them over, cover with something warm and leave to cool completely.

It is better to store pickled cucumbers prepared without sterilization in a cool place.

Not everyone likes to roll cucumbers in large jars, like my friend. Personally, I prefer liter jars. Perhaps you are too. Therefore, I will share with you another good recipe. It is very tasty, besides, we will enrich it with other vegetables, except for cucumbers.

Easy recipe for a liter jar

Ingredients (based on one jar of 1 liter):

0.5 kg of small cucumbers (about 10 cm long);
1 onion of medium size;
1 medium sized carrot;
1 clove of garlic;
1 sprig of parsley;
1 small dill umbrella;
1 tsp vinegar essence (or 7 tsp. 9% vinegar).

Marinade (based on two liter jars):

1 liter of drinking water;
1 st. l. coarse salt (with a slide);
2 tbsp. l. sugar (no slide);
4-5 pots of black pepper;
Optional - 1 clove bud, cherry leaf - 1-2 pcs.

Cooking:

Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly and soak them in cold (preferably well or spring) water for about two to three hours.
Rinse liter jars well with soda, pour boiling water, cover with lids and leave for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the onions and cut them into half rings. Peel the carrots, cut them into cubes or strips. Peel the garlic and divide into cloves. All vegetables, of course, should be well washed, including parsley.
Drain the water from the jars and put dill in each umbrella, then clean cucumbers, put chopped onions and carrots, a clove of garlic, a sprig of parsley on top. Scald the lids for rolling with boiling water.
Then boil in a separate saucepan clean water(you can - thawed) and fill it with cucumbers in jars. Leave for 10 minutes, then pour the water back into the pan. Let's repeat this procedure again: boil, pour for 10 minutes, pour again into the pan.

Now you can prepare the marinade:

Add sugar, salt to a bowl with heating water, mix.
Then throw in peppercorns, cloves, cherry leaves.
Bring water to a boil and pour over jars of cucumbers.
Then pour 1 teaspoon of vinegar essence (70%) into each jar.

We roll up the jars with lids, turn them over, wrap them up and leave to cool. However, if you want the cucumbers to be very crispy, then you can leave the jars unwrapped. We store ready-made pickled cucumbers in a cool place.

preparing melted water

If you are fond of melt water, it is also perfect, both for soaking cucumbers and for making marinade. Cucumbers on melt water are amazingly tasty. The easiest way to make such water based on drinking. Pour water into plastic bottles, tighten the lids well and put them in the freezer overnight. In the morning, take it out, unscrew the lids and let it thaw at room temperature. It is best to put the bottles in the sink, because during the thawing process, water may spill a little. When the ice in the bottles has completely melted, you can soak and then pickle the cucumbers.

What to do if the brine in pickled cucumbers is cloudy

If you did everything right, then this is unlikely to happen. After all, why is the brine cloudy? Most often - due to the fact that the cooking technology is somehow violated. Perhaps low-quality cans, somewhere there is a crack near the neck, so the tightness is broken. Or low-quality lids, the gum comes off in places, and besides, you forgot to scald them with boiling water. Or they were too lazy to fill jars of cucumbers with boiling water twice before pouring marinade into them.

Perhaps the lids were not screwed on tightly enough, or the cucumbers were not washed well, dirt remained somewhere. Or not enough vinegar. Finely ground or iodized salt was used. There can be many reasons.

Question - is it possible to save cucumbers? I answer: you can! How to do it? The main thing is that the lids are not swollen, otherwise such cucumbers are only good for the trash.

And in all other cases, the algorithm of action is simple:

We open the lids, take out the cucumbers, wash them with boiling water or very hot water.
Rinse the jars again and scald with boiling water.
Let's put cucumbers in them.
Then boil clean water, fill it with jars for 5 minutes, after which we pour the water into a saucepan and prepare a new marinade. You can add marinade instead of vinegar citric acid. It has already been noticed that cucumbers with citric acid rarely become cloudy.
Pour the marinade into jars, roll up the lids scalded with boiling water. We make sure that the seaming is airtight, and the jars do not “hiss” when turned over. That's all! I hope that this time everything will be fine and the brine will no longer become cloudy.

As you can see, cooking pickled cucumbers without sterilization is easy and simple, much faster and more enjoyable than with sterilization. I hope my recipes and tips come in handy, and you will enjoy delicious and crispy cucumbers with the whole family more than once. Enjoy your meal!

Such is the hot time now - the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. The harvest has ripened and the housewives have to work longer in the kitchen in order to prepare various delicacies for the winter. Today I want to offer you delicious recipes crispy pickled cucumbers. Even if the housewives do not prepare them, they buy ready-made ones.

In my piggy bank of pickled cucumber recipes there are time-tested blanks. But you must admit, it can be a shame if the recipe is good, and the jar did not shoot, but opened the cucumbers, and they are soft. I also had such a bitter experience, and the whole batch of blanks. And then I became interested in what needs to be done to make the cucumbers crispy, and I share these tips with you.

For canning, pick up small healthy cucumbers, with thin skin and dark pimples.
To prepare the marinade, use regular, non-iodized salt.
If possible, use clean, spring water, without chlorine.
To make cucumbers crunchy, put blackcurrant leaves, oak leaves, horseradish leaves or root in jars.
For pickling, use cucumbers picked no later than a day before.
In order to prevent voids from appearing in pickled cucumbers, pre-soak the cucumbers in very cold water for 5-6 hours. Try not to let the water get hot.
Do not abuse garlic pickling - it is believed that garlic makes cucumbers softer.
For greater firmness of cucumbers in a jar, put mustard seeds in the marinade.
One way to keep cucumbers crunchy is to add a couple of 1 tbsp to each jar. l. vodka.
To preserve the firmness of cucumbers, when canning, it is better to use the method of repeated pouring with hot marinade.
After rolling up the jars, do not wrap the cucumbers warm blanket so that they cool down faster.

How to pickle cucumbers for salads

I have always preserved cucumbers in the traditional way with mandatory sterilization, but this year I decided to experiment and make canned cucumbers without sterilization. The result is excellent: cucumbers stand well, and they taste much tastier than when sterilized. I advise you to try, perhaps you will like this recipe for canned cucumbers without sterilization.

Ingredients:

(per 3 liter jar)

cucumbers - how much will fit in a 3-liter jar
grape or currant leaves - 7 pcs.
cherry leaves - 7 pcs.
1 stalk of dill with inflorescence
piece of horseradish 2x3 cm.
half hot pepper
1 bay leaf
4 tbsp salt without a slide
5 tbsp sugar without a slide
5 tbsp table 9% vinegar

For seaming cucumbers, it is very important to choose cucumbers of the “correct” variety, cucumbers of the Masha f1 or Crispina f1 variety are best suited, I do not advise buying dessert varieties of cucumbers or large salad ones for conservation.
Pour cucumbers with cold water, wash thoroughly. Remember that cucumbers are very capricious in conservation and do not forgive mistakes (dirt). Therefore, it is better to spend a little more time on the thorough preparation of the source products and dishes than to bite your elbows later.
We leave the cucumbers in the water for 4-5 hours. During this time, we change the water 3-4 times.
Now let's prepare the dishes. Wash jars and lids thoroughly with soda, and then sterilize. How to sterilize dishes correctly.
Hot pepper, dill branch, all leaves, including bay leaf, wash thoroughly. We clean the horseradish and also wash it without fail.
In a clean 3-liter sterile jar, we put currant (or grape) leaves, cherry leaves, a dill stalk with an umbrella on the bottom, put a piece of horseradish and a strip of hot pepper.
We tightly pack the cucumbers in a jar. Place a dill stalk with seeds (or the color of dill) on top of the cucumbers.
Pour the cucumbers with boiling water almost to the top of the jar. We cover the jar with a sterile metal lid.
We put a terry towel under the bottom of the jar, and wrap the jar with cucumbers well with a blanket.
Let the cucumbers rest for 30 minutes.
We remove the blanket, then, holding the lid, carefully drain the water from the jar into a clean saucepan.
Add bay leaf to the water, 4 tbsp. salt without a slide, 5 tbsp. Sahara. I draw your attention to the fact that only rock table salt is always used to preserve cucumbers and other vegetables! Iodized or purified Extra salt is not suitable for canning (something that housewives never brag about happens).
Bring the water to a boil, cook the brine for 3-4 minutes, the salt and sugar should be completely dissolved.
We put 5 tbsp in a jar of cucumbers. vinegar, and then pour the cucumbers with boiling brine.
We cover the jar with cucumbers with a metal lid (with a thread or a regular one) and roll it up.
3 liter jar with canned cucumbers turn the lid down, wrap it well and leave it under the covers until it cools completely, about 12 hours.
The next day, we turn the cucumbers over and put them in storage in a cool place (pantry, cellar) away from heating appliances and sunlight.
That's all, canned cucumbers ready, fast, simple and without sterilization. And so that the rolled cucumbers are crispy, before serving, open the jar, put a couple of cloves of garlic inside, and then cool in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

Every housewife who decides to prepare cucumbers for the winter by canning, of course, dreams that she will succeed crispy pickled cucumbers for the winter, juicy and moderately sour. What marinated will turn out as a result will depend on some factors. First of all, from the most cucumbers. The most ideal pickling cucumbers are small cucumbers that were recently picked from the garden.

Such cucumbers are the most juicy, which means that during the heat treatment they will retain more juices and will not wrinkle. Therefore, bringing cucumbers from the market or store, try to preserve them as soon as possible. If it so happens that time is lost and the cucumbers have grafted and lost their elasticity, let them "take a bath."

Pour cucumbers with cold water and leave for 5-6 hours (or overnight). As a result of such a simple procedure, cucumbers will be saturated with moisture and become juicy and elastic. The second nuance that will indirectly affect the quality of pickled cucumbers is the method and technology of pickling.

You can pickle cucumbers for the winter with or without sterilization.
