Fresh cucumbers for winter

How to prepare fresh cucumbers for the winter?

Cucumbers should be perfect, without any traces of spoilage, dense and fresh. You need to wash them well, leave them to drain, and then dry them (with a towel or in the air). You don't need to rub them hard. Ideally, if cucumbers are collected from the garden in dry weather, then you can simply wipe them with a clean cloth. This will prevent the appearance of excess moisture in the jars.
Sterilize the jars, the lids too. Put the dried cucumbers in the same dry and clean jar, but not to the top, leave room for a candle.
You need to take the most ordinary candle, ideally a small one, for an aroma lamp. The main thing is that the candle should be without flavorings. Set the candle on the cucumbers and light it, let it burn for 10 minutes so that the air from below burns out. And while the candle is burning, roll up the jar. You need to do this so that the candle in the jar burns for another 20-30 seconds after rolling up the lid to create a vacuum. And as a result, you have fresh cucumbers for the New Year)) Moreover, they are delicious from their own garden.
It is better to store cans in the cellar.

Tips:

Use cucumbers of late autumn harvest. Use only medium-sized cucumbers that are not damaged, fresh, directly collected from the garden (as small as possible).

So that the wax from the candle does not get on the cucumbers, put a small piece of food foil under the candle.
