How to make a salad of overgrown cucumbers "Lick your fingers"
Most often, the peel of overgrown cucumbers is coarse and thick, so first of all, clean the cucumbers with a vegetable scraper, then rinse well with cold water and cut into cubes.
If the seeds of the “overgrowth” have formed, become dense, then we scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and then cut the vegetables finely.
Cut onions, add to the cucumbers.
We rinse a bunch of green dill with running water, shake, chop. We clean the chili pod from seeds and membranes, cut into rings.
Add dill and chili to the vegetables.
Pour salt and sugar into a bowl, mix, leave for 1 hour. During this time, salt and sugar will draw water from vegetables, a lot of natural juice is formed, which will serve as a fill for the salad.
Now we pour apple or any other weak vinegar in a bowl with salad.
Scale the lavrushka with boiling water, put two leaves on the bottom of a jar cleanly washed and sterilized over steam.
We put the salad in a jar, fill the jar on the shoulders, close the lid.
At the bottom of the pan we put a cloth, put a jar of salad, pour in water heated to 60 degrees. Bring to a boil, sterilize half-liter jars for 15 minutes.
Screw the lid tightly, turn the salad upside down, wrap.
After cooling, we store in a cool, dark place.
