Cucumbers with red currants for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Fresh cucumbers are thoroughly washed under running water, put them in a deep container, pour cold water and leave for four hours to soak. During the specified time, it is better to change the water a couple of times so that it does not start to sour. This must be done so that the cucumbers in the workpiece become elastic and crispy.

2. Step 2:

   

   While the cucumbers are soaked, we will prepare the jars for harvesting. We take cans with a volume of 1 liter, so that after opening the jar, the workpiece is quickly eaten. And small jars are more convenient to close. I wash the cans with soda with cold water. Sterilize the jars in a water bath, in an oven or in a microwave oven. In any convenient and reliable way. The lids are washed and boiled, dried.

3. Step 3:

   

   Drain the water from the container with cucumbers, rinse the cucumbers again. Let the water drain completely from the cucumbers. In cucumbers, cut off the tips on both sides.

4. Step 4:

   

   Red currant for harvesting can be used together with brushes, so it will turn out more interesting and more beautiful.

6. Step 5:

   

   At the bottom of sterile jars we put washed and dried dill twigs, horseradish leaves, black currant, garlic cloves, black pepper peas and cloves.

7. Step 6:

   

   We put cucumbers on top, it is more convenient to place them vertically and tightly. We put red currant twigs on top. If there is still room in the jar, then we make a second row of cucumbers. Fill the contents of the jars with boiling water, cover the jars with lids and leave for 10 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then drain the water into an enameled saucepan, add sugar and salt. Let the marinade boil, stir so that the sugar and salt completely dissolve. Pour in the vinegar and turn off the fire.

9. Step 8:

   

   Immediately fill the jars with marinade to the shoulders of the jars, roll them up with lids. We turn the cans upside down, let the cans with the blanks cool down under the blanket at room temperature and put them away for storage in the pantry. Bon appetit!
