Pickled cucumbers with vodka for winter crispy

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make crispy pickles with vodka for winter? Prepare the products according to the list. Try to pick cucumbers of the same size - the workpiece will look better, and the salting will be uniform. Wash the cucumbers, put them in a suitable bowl, pour cold water and leave for at least 2 hours. During this time, cucumbers will become more dense and crispy.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the cucumbers again and cut off the tips from both ends. Wash the glass jars with soda, then pour boiling water over them.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the peeled garlic, bay leaf and hot chili pepper on the bottom of the washed jars.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add dill seeds to each jar to taste. You can use dill umbrellas instead.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cover the spices with a couple of oak leaves on top. On top of the spices, put cucumbers close to each other.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour salt into the jars. Take salt of coarse or medium grinding. You can use special salt for blanks.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour cold drinking water into the jars. I advise you to take filtered or bottled water. Cover the jars with scalded boiling water lids and leave at room temperature for four days.

9. Step 8:

   

   On the fourth day, the fermentation process should come to naught. The brine will turn white, and the cucumbers will turn yellowish. A white cloudy sediment may form at the bottom of the cans. That's how it should be. This is the work of lactic acid bacteria.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour the turbid brine from the jars into a saucepan and boil for 3 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Pour the boiling brine into the jars, trying not to get directly on the glass, so that the jar does not burst. Pour boiling water directly on the cucumbers, in the center. Pour in the vodka. Then you can cover the jars with lids that have previously been scalded with boiling water. Wrap the jars until they cool down and put them away for storage.
