How to cook pickled gherkins for the winter
Small gherkins with prickly bumps sorted out. Sometimes cucumber chips begin to turn yellow prematurely. Such copies should not be in the bank, as well as sluggish soft vegetables. Gherkins wash, cut off the ends, soaked in cold water for 2-3 hours. Then rinsed with running water.
A dill umbrella, bay leaf, 3-4 hot pepper rings, a centimeter slice of peeled horseradish root, a teaspoon of mustard seeds, 5 black peppercorns are put in each jar. Fill the cans with gherkins, alternating vertical and horizontal rows.
Pour gherkins boiling water, banks covered. After 15 minutes, the first fill is drained. Hot water softens and warms the pulp of gherkins, preparing it for soaking with marinade.
The second time poured gherkins boiling water. Re-cover the banks, leave for 10 minutes. Pour the marinade into the pan. If mustard seeds are in the pot along with the water, you should not immediately return them to the banks. When the mustard is boiled in the marinade, it will become more fragrant.
Sugar and salt are poured into warm water. Marinade boiled over high heat for 2 minutes.
In each jar of gherkins pour a measured portion of vinegar. Pour gherkins marinade, banks roll. Inverted cans are kept under a thick blanket for 12 hours.
You can store pickled gherkins for 12-13 months. Cucumbers crunch amazingly. Dense neat gherkins are used in those kebabs that are harvested by stringing skewers, boiled or fried meat by-products. For example, on wooden skewers, boiled chicken hearts, gherkins, fried liver cubes, olives, pickled small onions alternate.
