Crispy cucumbers in Bulgarian

it's still very interesting how the cans stand at room temperature?

I have neither a balcony nor an extra refrigerator)))))
Cucumbers withstood / passed the test ... last weekend they finished their last can. .. soon new cucumbers will go, I will be sure to twist !.
I won't say about the butts, I cut them ..

[nila]

nila, Nelya, tell me, what about salt and sugar in tablespoons under the knife or with a slide?

[elena88]

elena88, I measured salt and sugar under the knife.

It's been 2 weeks since their cucumbers have gone. And since there are not many of them yet, I close my jars of several in 2-3 days.
To save a little on vinegar, and not pour it out after each spin, I use the same one. I poured a 1 liter bottle into a bowl, and after bathing the cucumbers, I close the bowl with a lid and put it in the refrigerator.
It was closed in 1.5L jars
And these are cucumbers in 1 liter cans

Oh, Nelechka, I just saw your recipe, how interesting! I'm just waiting for my cucumbers in 1-2 days, I want to try to roll up this recipe for a test. Well I live in the country, the easier it is for me, the better.

Thank you, Sveta
If you need something simpler and tasty, then this is just the right thing. Fast and not confusing))))

Nellichka, I really want to cook cucumbers according to this recipe. Made according to Oksana-Lozja's recipe, the next ones will be yours. I believe. Everything is delicious with you!

Oh, Lenochka, how long have I met you in topics
Thank you for stopping by the cucumbers
Lena, I also really like Aunt Margita's cucumbers, and for several years I've been keeping them closed. But that year I did these for the first time, which I did not regret in Bulgarian.
This year I decided to close both those and these. But now I am doing 4 seaming, and I still think that it is also necessary to close it according to Oksana's recipe. But laziness wins, and lack of time (I have been fighting for the third week with 2 apricot trees, apples began to pour in, a pear is on its way) and therefore so far only according to my own recipe.

Yes, what a day now feeds the year!

[Nelya,]

Nelya, and if the cucumbers are just picked, do they need to be soaked overnight (or 6-8 hours) or is it unnecessary? Tomorrow I was going to close it according to your prescription.

[Borkovna]

Borkovna,
Lena, if you can soak the cucumbers only from the garden, but not for long. I think an hour or two will be enough. While you prepare jars, green tea, spices, put them in jars - let the cucumbers hang out in the water at this time.
I usually have cucumbers harvested in 2-3 days. So the ones that I cut off yesterday I keep in the water longer, and then I add those that I cut off today. And it often happens like this, for example today, I soaked a few cucumbers for 3 cans. This is usually found when you sort out all the cucumbers in jars, that one or 2 jars are not full. I go and pick up many, which I did not immediately pluck. Now I never soak them, but just report from above, to full jars.

[Nelya,]

Nelya,thanks for the answer. I'm glad we are doing the same.

Nelechka, made cucumbers this year according to your recipe. Yesterday I took out a jar to try. How delicious they were! I was a little worried about the vinegar, but everything is great. And what a delicious pickle! Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

Girls, my cucumbers are too big. Someone tried not to do it whole, but to cut it into pieces?

[Olenka.]

Vinegar is sipped while bathing at the very "cant" they then, Olenka. They are in this recipe and without that, even whole, they get drunk pretty well.

Thank you, dear, I cross it out.

[Natalia]

Natalia, already took a sample? Nooo, I haven't managed to open mine yet, while all the jars are in the basement.
But this year, as I wrote earlier, I saved a little on vinegar. Since I was closing my cucumbers, and they did not ripen in large batches, I had to close every 2-3 days. Therefore, I used one bottle of vinegar several times, and then just topped up a little vinegar into this bowl. She kept a bowl of vinegar in the refrigerator.
I am very pleased that you liked my recipe. I, too, was a little afraid of this technology that year, I was afraid that the vinegar would be felt too much. But it turned out that they were not at all vinegar cucumbers.
Natasha, thank you very much for stopping by and leaving your review

the gurtsy are too large. Someone tried not to do it whole, but to cut it into pieces

Olenka, it’s probably late, just saw your question. But Mikhasa already wrote to you that you probably shouldn't cut it. In any case, I have not tried it, therefore I will not say anything definite.
This year I rolled small cucumbers, because I had my own. And that year the purchased ones had to be closed, but I bought the large ones. So she rolled up whole ones, put 8-9 pieces in 1 liter jars.
But I don’t even know the cut cucumbers. I only cover the cut cucumbers with the Nezhenskie salad, or I made the first time this year according to the recipe of Irisha Keel.

They are in this recipe and without that, even whole, they get drunk pretty well.

Mikhas, but it seems to me that they do not have time to drink too much of this vinegar. After all, we keep cucumbers in hot vinegar for just a couple of minutes, no more. Only a cucumber skin has time to soak. And then we just fill a jar of cucumbers with boiling water and all the vinegar that has managed to be absorbed dissolves in this water. After all, when we preserve in the usual way, we pour the vinegar directly into the marinade and in such a marinade they stand the whole season.
In any case, neither in the cucumbers themselves, nor in the brine, I did not feel an excess of vinegar.

Nel, I only opened one jar, and then only because I was making a salad with squid. I made them for my son, it will be convenient for him to carry them in a small container, and not in a 3-liter can. And so it happened that I tried it.

I am reporting. These are not cucumbers, this is a bomb! Today we opened the first can, and I go and carry every 10 minutes! Made according to this recipe and one more, also called in Bulgarian on our forum. That recipe is also tasty, but not as vigorous and with a predominance of a sweetish note. And this recipe is just a song! Now he will be my priority. The coolest thing is that the taste is so versatile that it will even go to Olivier, where we only put pickled barrel cucumbers and in salads where store-bought gherkins were required. THANK YOU!!!

[Alla]

Allahow nice it is to receive such warm praise! It is very pleasant that the cucumbers were so tasty!
My jars are also melting at an incredible speed, I'm afraid I won't make it until spring.
Well, how do you like vinegar, does it not feel much? For me, I don’t taste it at all, although I bathed my cucumbers well in a bowl with ukss

[nila]

nila, everything turned out very harmoniously for vinegar, although I bathed cucumbers very carefully, I was reinsured for the first time, it was scary. How is it, salt and sugar straight into the jar
But everything turned out great!

[Alla]

Alla, then that immediately salt and sugar in a jar is not so scary. I have seen this in other recipes. But the fact that we don't pour vinegar into the jar at all is more suspicious. But as it turned out, this is not scary, I closed it for the second year according to this recipe and everything is fine

This year, by the way, I also rolled it up ... they turn out quickly, only they are eaten quickly too ... but tasty ...

[AlenKa]

Gyyy, AlenKa, I sit grumbling with a cucumber from a can and then I see a familiar name in the tape. And it was you who appeared here with a report, light in sight.
Yeah, they are quickly eaten, it took me only for the holiday 2 jars. The remnants of the cut lay on a platter. And I had a lot of sweet cake and it was so cloying in my mouth. So I eat sour for the night))))

These cucumbers are in Olivier class.
Happy New Year

[Nelya]

Nelya, for pickled the most delicious cucumbers, for my taste !.Thank you very much for such a delicious recipe !.

Well, where was I when everyone was picking cucumbers ???
Bookmark it, but HOW not to forget this recipe in the season ??? I really want such cucumbers too ...

[Iris]

Iris,
Irinka, bookmark. Well, if you suddenly forget - remind me so that I remind you

Fifanya, Anna, thanks for the congratulations, and thanks for the feedback

Happy New Year girls. From the New Year's table I am taking thanks from my relatives from Chuvashia. Drove the recipe with them
I have a conservation daddy with several sections
1. I want to do
2. I did, you can eat
3. TASTY
4. Not tasty
Here I had these cucumbers in Wishlist, and when I opened the jar, I immediately transferred it to the "DELICIOUS" section

Allochka, what a good idea you have with daddy. I also need to do something similar at home. Otherwise, in my culinary notebook, as in that Oblonskys' house, it got confused.
It's nice that relatives from Chuvashia will use the recipe and enjoy cucumbers

[Nelya]

Nelya, okay we crunched cucumbers tonight, eh?

[Nelya,]

Nelya, it’s finally its turn to your cucumbers. I made several versions in Bulgarian that summer for testing in 1 liter jars. And my men unambiguously said that this season it was yours! I couldn't even resist myself, I tried a small piece, although I can't eat that. Well, we liked it very much, thanks !!!

[Elena]

Elena, I'm glad that your peasants appreciated the recipe. And it is very sad that you cannot fully appreciate it.
You are just starting to try them, and my jars are already running out, although I closed more than last year. I left a couple of jars for the holidays.
Thank you for not being lazy and bringing a report on cucumbers to Temka!

[Nelya,]

Nelya, today I closed my first cucumbers, 4 liter and one 1.5 liter. Of course I will do not one recipe, but several. But according to your recipe I made the very first ones and I will do it again as the cucumbers ripen.
Thank you very much for the delicious recipe!

[Lenochka]

Lenochka, you already close your cucumbers. I'll probably start tomorrow too. Today I wanted to start closing it, but I cut it off and I think I haven't finished eating yet, I'll leave it for food. But I look by the evening the cucumbers remained in the bowl, so it's time to start spinning.
But I still don't have so many cucumbers, I will close a couple of jars. I will also start with this recipe ... and perhaps continue with this recipe. M already said that she would only bother with such, he does not want other experiments.

Good afternoon. I must say right away that I don't really like experimenting, if only because sometimes it doesn't work out and it's just a pity to translate the product. Every year I close cucumbers with ketchup or assorted "vegetable garden", but I always want something new and tasty. I confess that this recipe inspired me to try cucumbers, which I had to say bitter (as much as 7 kilograms !!) and I did not know what to do with them, although I soaked them for soooo very long. So, a week ago I closed the cucumbers with the hope that I would get at least something)) And today I opened it to take a sample. People, this is incredible! The bitterness from the cucumbers is completely gone, as if it was. Crunch, pungency, sourness, in general, everything that should be in cucumbers! I am incredibly glad that I tried it, and I advise everyone who still has doubts.)
Thank you very much for the recipe! I will close it again and now with good cucumbers!)
P.S. I slightly increased the amount of sugar, because I have a sweet tooth, even in blanks)

P.S. I slightly increased the amount of sugar, because I have a sweet tooth, even in blanks)

Anastasia, how much sugar did you put in?
I want to make sweet cucumbers.

[nila]

nila, Nelya, made 3 liter cans, only the mustard had to be added to the ground (it turned out unclear, but when standing it was normal)
today bought mustard beans, I'll try it strictly according to the recipe
Thanks for the recipe

I feel sorry for pouring out the vinegar, I decided to keep it, "edit" the strength and still use it at least once.

[Nelya]

Nelya thank you very much again
Cucumbers were rolled for the first time in this way in 15 year. They are excellent, I found a jar of the first ones - they did not grow cloudy, they taste great. They stand well both at home (in a warm closet) and in a cellar. Not a single can exploded. I use a solution of vinegar (1 bottle of 70% 330ml for 2.5 liters of water ≈ 9% - cheaper and easier to buy and easier to bring home))) I use repeatedly, I have never had any problems either. I add different spices based on what is at hand at the moment. I added fresh bell peppers, without processing it, it's also well worth it. But with fresh onions, at first it will become cloudy, but then the turbidity settled and fine. So this kind of pre-processing of cucumbers with spices can be played with, I think. This is my favorite recipe.

[NaNya]

NaNya, Anastasia, thanks for such a warm and detailed recipe review. I am pleased that the recipe for these cucumbers came to my liking.
As for the bitterness in cucumbers, I also noticed that the bitterness disappears. Once I bought cucumbers at the bazaar, and they were evidently mixed and came across with bitterness. But I closed everything without going over. And in winter I forgot that the cucumbers were bitter, I didn't feel at all.
alba et atra, Helen, I will not say that cucumbers are very sour. Their taste is balanced. But if, nevertheless, your family loves sweetness in cucumbers more, then try putting sugar in 1 tbsp. l with the city is not big. I sprinkle salt and sugar under the knife.
space, Lida, I also pour out vinegar. So it stands in a saucepan in the refrigerator. When I close my cucumbers, it turns out every other day from harvesting. I got a saucepan, if necessary, then I added more vinegar, I warm up and bathe my cucumbers in turn.
And this year I even closed a couple of jars of tomatoes with this vinegar. The day before, I closed the cucumbers and poured all the vinegar from the bottle. The next day I put the tomatoes in a jar, but forgot to buy the ukssus. I remembered that I didn't pour out yesterday's vinegar and made a marinade with this vinegar and poured over the tomatoes.
Fifanya, Anya, how good it is that the recipe has already been tested by time and can be prescribed at home!
Thank you for recalculating vinegar essence into 9% vinegar. Very useful! By the way, I forgot that I have a bottle of this essence.

[Nelik]

Nelik, I did not put in the refrigerator neither this year nor this year used vinegar for cucumbers. He just cooled down in a saucepan, poured it into bottles and he stood quietly in the kitchen pencil case until the next batch.
And the cucumbers are really cool! Already done at the moment 10 liter and one 1.5 liter. While I salt the cucumbers and send them to the cellar.

Lenchik, it's not hard for me to put this used vinegar in the refrigerator. Anyway, the second refrigerator is turned on in the summer, it is in the summer kitchen and there are mainly cat and sobanin delicacies. Well, the pot of compost can also stand. And in such a heat, the hi is better in the refrigerator, well, it was that I put it on the steps in the basement. It’s easier for me to find a place there than in the kitchen this casserole will dangle, get in the way under my hands. I'm too lazy to worry back into the bottles, I cooled the saucepan or bowl of vinegar and out of sight!

I see, Nelik! Once for convenience, it means no doubt that something can happen to the vinegar when stored outside the refrigerator after use.

And I will come to you with my report



Added some onion rings. They stand for 3 days in the kitchen, the brine does not become cloudy.

Nelechka, and here are my Bulgarian ones!
Thank you for the recipe!

This is where the jars are being prepared.


And here the cucumbers in vinegar change color.

[Chionodox]

Chionodox.Olga,
alba et atra, Elena,
girls, thanks for the reports and such cool photos!
I'd like to believe that in winter all these jars will bring you and your family pleasure!

And I will come to you with my cucumbers))

Hello! I have not found mustard seeds anywhere. Is it possible to replace with dry mustard or is it better to continue the search?

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, I don't even know what to say, I have never tried replacing seeds with mustard powder.I am afraid that powdered mustard may give a turbidity to the brine.
But you can, in principle, do without mustard at all. Add the horseradish root, if any, it will also give its taste and firmness to the cucumbers.
Marina, thanks for bringing your pictures of cucumbers to the topic.

I made two batches according to this recipe, for the first time there was no hot pepper, after 2 weeks I opened one jar, tasted it, liked it, bought more cucumbers and hot peppers, but there was no horseradish, I hope they will stand. Thanks for the recipe!
