If you do everything as it is written, then you get exactly what you wanted - pickles for the winter in banks for storage in the apartment. They do not need a refrigerator or a cellar, pickles are well in the storeroom for a year or more. The peculiarity of the recipe is that I first pickle cucumbers for a few days, then make a triple fill and roll it up. I open not earlier than in two months, I give time to ripen. The taste of pickled cucumbers will be like a barrel: strong, with characteristic sourness, crispy.


An important point: pickles for salting need soil, preferably small, with pimples. From the spices you will need horseradish - leaves or a piece of the root, umbrellas and dill stalks, garlic and hot pepper.

How to pickle cucumbers for winter storage in the apartment

I have different-sized cucumbers, from small to medium, just such are needed for salting. Large overgrowth is better to cut into a salad. Rinse, pour clean cold water  from the tap. Leave for 4-6 hours. If it is very hot, I change the water once or twice, it should be cold.


Having sustained cucumbers in due time, be sure to rinse again. I prepare a set spicy greens  and spices: I rinse the greens, brush the garlic cloves from the husks, and cut the peppers into rings.


I take the appropriate volume of dishes: enamelled bucket, bowl, pan. At the bottom I put a few leaves of cherry or currant, horseradish, dill, garlic and a couple of pepper rings.


Spread cucumbers. Down I usually put bigger ones, small ones will be the top layer.



A large sheet of horseradish ditch into smaller pieces and scatter over cucumbers together with umbrellas of dill.


Now you need to prepare the pickle. I take the usual water, from the tap, not boiled. Gaining three liters. I measure for every liter of water 80 grams of coarse salt.


Pour water into a bowl, sprinkle salt. I stir until all the crystals disperse. Strain it or pour it into a clean container (usually salt with impurities, they need to be removed).


Important!  For pickles, only coarse salt is suitable. It is sold in white and blue packages under various names: stone, cookery, iodine. If you doubt the choice, ask the seller what is suitable for canning.

Pour salt water cucumbers in a bowl. This amount is just enough to completely close them.


If you have more cucumbers, make this calculation: a kilo of vegetables per liter of water. Pickle should be a lot, the photo shows that the cucumbers are floating in it.


I put the inverted flat plate on top and put the load (jar of water, closed with a lid). A small weight will not let the cucumbers float, they will salt out evenly.


Council  Put cucumbers in a corner in the kitchen or elsewhere in the apartment, away from the sun and heat, so that the pickling goes naturally.

Well, the fermentation process began. In a day the brine will become cloudy, foam will appear on the surface and the smell will be felt. salted cucumbers. You can already try. But cucumbers are not suitable for pickling, they will be ready in 5-7 days, not earlier. If it is cool in the apartment, then they can stand for ten days. You need to look at the color of the skin: it will become olive-colored, the foam will disappear, the brine will be whitish in color with a sharp sourish-salty smell. It is important not to hurry and give the cucumbers a good salt, ferment, otherwise the fermentation process will continue and may open the lid during storage.


Pickle merge, filter through three layers of gauze. Cucumbers and greens directly in a bowl I substitute under a strong stream of running water, wash off the white bloom. I roll up pickles for the winter in liter cans, you can take a volume of more or less. Do not sterilize my dishes with soda, this is unnecessary. In a clean jar I lay out the greens, garlic, pepper, washed after salting.


Cucumbers larger put vertically in a circle, closely one to another.


Then put spices, cucumbers on top smaller. Banks fill up to the top, but so that there is room for brine.


Heat on high heat brine. When boiling will rise whitish foam. I collect with a slotted spoon and boil for another couple of minutes, until the remnants of the foam subside. Pour boiling brine in jars. Covering tin lids. Leave for 20 minutes.


I pour it back into the pan, add a little in return for the one that the cucumbers had time to soak up. Boiling again, pour again. I stand cans of cucumbers for 10-15 minutes.


I take off the lids, boiling in a saucepan with clean water for about five minutes. On the next ring the brine boils. The third fill is final. Pour cucumbers boiling brine to the edge, leaving no voids. Hermetically roll covers under the machine. I turn over, wipe and rearrange in a secluded place, covered with a jacket or blanket.


Two days later, the cucumbers will cool down, settle. You can store them in the apartment. We have banks of cucumbers in the pantry for at least two months before they reach the table. After a few weeks the brine will become transparent, the sediment will sink to the bottom, pickled cucumbers will pick up the taste.
