Features of the recipe
The main thing to pay attention to is the temperature. Store "mustard cucumbers" in a cool place so that the jar does not ferment. Residents of the village can send canned food to the cellar, and the townspeople can use the refrigerator.
In addition, the recipe has the following benefits:
- Vinegar is not used, which has a positive effect on the taste of the cucumbers.
- Preservation is not sterilized - and vitamins do not die.
Cucumbers in mustard taste similar to pickled vegetables, but because of the pouring, they are more spicy and tasty.
Cucumbers with mustard for a three-liter can
If you need to prepare 3 liters of canning at once, you will need:
- 2 kg of small fresh cucumbers;
- mustard powder - 1 tablespoon;
- horseradish leaves and root - to taste;
- salt - 2 tablespoons;
- dill, currant or cherry leaves, black peppercorns - to taste;
- garlic - 3-4 teeth.
Cooking procedure:
- Cucumbers are washed under running water and soaked in cold water for 3-4 hours. The tips of the cucumbers are cut off, and the water is changed every hour to fresh.
- Boiling water is being prepared - at least 1.5 liters. The water should boil for at least 5 minutes.
- Salt is added to the boiling water. When the boiling is over, mustard powder is poured into hot water and mixed thoroughly to dissolve everything.
- Jars are sterilized, dill, garlic, pepper and other spices are placed on the bottom.
- The cucumbers are placed on top of the spice layer - tight enough to leave as little empty space as possible.
- Then the cucumbers are poured with a hot, but not boiling solution of salt and mustard.
- The jars are sealed with plastic (not metal!) Lids.
- containers are sent for storage in a cold and dark place.
- After 2-3 months, the cucumbers gain maximum salt and taste.
