Cucumbers for a snack are a good old Russian tradition. They are good in any form - fresh, salted, pickled. Many people love recipes for lightly salted cucumbers, but do not know that using the same principle, you can quickly prepare pickled snack cucumbers with a spicy sour-salty taste, in which pleasant spicy notes are felt.

“The Fair Half” offers you a recipe for delicious crispy snack cucumbers, which can be preserved for the winter or simply prepared for some kind of feast. Preserving them is not difficult: just put them in clean 0.5-0.7 liter jars, compact them tightly, pour vegetable oil on top and place the jars in a large saucepan with water so that it covers them up to their shoulders. Cover the tops of the jars with metal canning lids. Bring the water in the pan to a boil and sterilize the jars of snack cucumbers for 30 minutes, then remove them from the boiling water and roll the lids on with a machine. It is recommended to wrap them in a warm blanket and leave them there until they cool completely.

And now, actually, let's talk about how to pickle snack cucumbers.

Recipe for snack cucumbers with photo

Products:

Cooking time – 7 hours;
yield - 1 liter jar.

Preparation. Wash the cucumbers in cold running water, trim off the “butts”. If cucumbers are bitter, they should first be soaked for 2-3 hours in cold water to improve their taste. Then cut the cucumbers lengthwise into quarters and place them in a deep bowl in which the cucumbers will be marinated. It is better if it is a bowl made of glass or ceramics; in extreme cases, metal enamel dishes will do. Plastic and aluminum are undesirable, especially the latter, as it will oxidize if it comes into contact with vinegar.

Pour spices into the cucumbers - mustard and ground pepper.

The next step comes down to adding salt and sugar to the cucumbers. Mix everything thoroughly.

Peel the garlic, pass through a press, add to the bowl with cucumbers. You can also grind it in a meat grinder or finely chop it with a knife.

Pour vinegar and vegetable oil over the cucumbers and mix all ingredients thoroughly again. Leave the cucumbers in a cool place for at least 6 hours. A couple of hours after the cucumbers release their juice (and this will happen quite quickly - it all depends on the juiciness of the cucumbers themselves), they need to be thoroughly mixed again.

Serve the cucumbers chilled as a snack. Such cucumbers can also be included in salads from various vegetables as an additional ingredient - for example, combine them with fresh cabbage and green peas, tomatoes and boiled green beans, etc.

Advice: If you want to prepare such cucumbers for the winter, then you need to place a sprig of parsley at the bottom of a pre-prepared jar, add the cucumbers there and sterilize the jar for 30 minutes, then immediately roll it under the lid.

Bon appetit!
