How many cucumbers do you can during the warmer months before storing them in the basement?

Typically, people try to prepare enough pickled vegetables to avoid the need to purchase pickled products in the store during the cold season, which allows them to save a lot of money.

But if your family loves pickled cucumbers, then supplies are decreasing quite quickly. Therefore, it is important to marinate enough vegetables. However, sometimes cucumbers can go bad even in storage.

Using a special pickling method, you can extend the shelf life of cucumbers. I suggest you learn about the long-term salting technique.

To begin, clean the cucumbers of any dirt, finely chop the garlic, horseradish and dill. Place a layer of horseradish, garlic and dill in the bottom of the jar. Then place the cucumbers on a green mat, leaving about 5 cm free to the edge of the jar.

Add salt to a 5-liter jar of cucumbers and fill with plain cold water, not boiled.

Close the jar tightly with a lid and leave in a cool, dark place.

Remember to shake the jar periodically to evenly distribute the water between the cucumbers.

This method allows you to simply pickle cucumbers without the need to prepare a marinade.
