  1. Choose the right products

To make pickles for the winter tasty, you must first choose good raw materials, as this is the main component of success. It is best, of course, to use vegetables grown on their own in the garden, but not everyone has the opportunity to have their own garden, so it’s enough just to be able to choose good products among those offered on the market.

It is best to use small cucumbers for making pickles for the winter, as they will fit compactly in a jar, so much more will fit. In addition, young vegetables have the best taste and do not have voids inside, so they turn out crispy.

Choose cucumbers with rough skins and black bumps. They are perfect for winter pickles at home. Smooth cucumbers are used for salads and are completely unsuitable for pickles. In addition, you should not take cucumbers with a yellowish tint, as they will be bitter. In order not to make a mistake when choosing, it is better to taste them at the time of purchase.

  1. Use good water

The taste properties of pickles in jars for the winter depend not only on the quality of the selected products, but also on the water used to prepare them.

Clean well water is ideal, but if you can't use it, just filter the tap water.

In addition, do not forget to pre-soak the cucumbers for at least a few hours, and preferably for half a day.

  1. Don't Forget the Spices

There are many different winter pickle recipes, each using different herbs and spices. Among the ingredients of some you can find allspice, in others - black. Sometimes mustard seeds or cloves are used. However, the most common classic recipes include the addition of dill and garlic umbels, as well as horseradish and currant leaves.

In addition, mint, dill, cumin or coriander can be added for additional aroma and a more piquant taste.

  1. Put Ingredients Correctly

It is best to put all the necessary spices at the very bottom, large cucumbers on them, and small ones on the very top. In addition, spices can be added in small layers between cucumbers. After all the ingredients are added, pour the brine into the jar and cover the entire contents with horseradish and currant leaves.

Salting products is one of the ways to preserve them for the winter and home canning. Salted vegetables in brine, the recipes of which can be different, as well as in a dry way with various spices. Here are examples of pickling homemade cucumbers and excellent sauerkraut at home.

Salting at home

We lay out the cucumbers in jars (you can put horseradish leaves, dill, currant leaves washed with running water between them). Cold brine is poured on top of the cucumbers. It must be prepared from 60 grams of salt per liter of water. Boil and chill. The jars are closed with a cloth or gauze and left to wander on the table in the kitchen, in a warm place, for two days. After that, the brine fermentation process can be completed.

Rearrange the jars also under gauze in the cool, in the cellar or in the refrigerator. When cucumbers are kept for a long time in a warm room, voids will form inside them during salting, since excessively bursting gases in them will tear the cucumbers from the inside. After 10-12 days, seal the jars without sterilization and store the cucumbers at a temperature not higher than 3-4 degrees.

Salting recipes for the winter

And here is a recipe for excellent salted cabbage in brine. Cabbage is obtained after such salting (fermentation) crispy, juicy, spicy. We prepare a brine for her at the rate of two tablespoons of non-iodized salt, one tablespoon of sugar per liter of water. Has the spice water boiled? Turn off, let cool completely.

Next, we are engaged in shredding white cabbage. We cut it at will, either into thin strips or into small cubes, for a change, if you salt a lot of cabbage, cut one head of cabbage into slices, and chop the rest of the cabbage finely. Subsequently, pieces of cabbage should simply be placed in the middle of the basin between the chopped cabbage or at the very bottom of the dishes in which you will salt the cabbage.

We also chop carrots on a coarse grater or straws. For a kilogram of cabbage, you will need approximately one medium carrot. We also peel the garlic, cut it into slices in an arbitrary amount.

We shift the cabbage with layers of carrots, add garlic, a couple of bay leaves for each layer of cabbage. Pour the brine on top so that it covers the cabbage completely. Cover with a plate on top, rearrange to ferment in a warm place. You don’t even need to touch the cabbage during the pickling process. After about 3 days, it should be transferred to clean jars, pour brine on top and rearrange under plastic lids in the refrigerator or in the cellar.
