The time has come to prepare for the winter. I want to offer you my recipes for pickling cucumbers and tomatoes.

Good afternoon

You will laugh, but when I got married, I didn’t know how to pickle tomatoes and cucumbers at all! My husband’s family had a dacha and these vegetables were grown in very large quantities. My mother-in-law, having worked as a cook all her life, knew many recipes for pickling cucumbers and tomatoes. She said that during her life she had tried a wide variety of methods - salted, pickled, with sugar, without sugar, in its own juice, and others. But in the end I settled on one recipe that I liked the taste the most. It was with this recipe that I began my knowledge and experiments with pickling.

And now, having also tried different options, I salt cucumbers like this:
Pickling cucumber recipe

We will need small cucumbers, preferably the same size, but I also use different ones: I just cut large cucumbers into pieces.

Wash the cucumbers and soak them in cold water for several hours.

In the meantime, I wash the jars with baking soda, sterilize the jars, and boil the lids.

I prepare the greens: horseradish, cherry, currant leaves, dill umbrellas, washed under running water and chopped with a knife. But, depending on my mood and desire, I also use whole leaves.

Then I cut off the top and bottom of the cucumbers: this way they are better saturated with brine.

In jars I put some chopped herbs, garlic cloves, a few black peppercorns, cucumbers on the bottom, and more greens on top. (If I use uncut leaves, I place them at the bottom of the jar).

I also definitely add a couple of tomatoes. I don’t know what the reason is, but I once read that pickled cucumbers with tomatoes will never become cloudy or explode. Now I always do this.

I pour boiling water over the cucumbers and let them sit for a while (about 30 minutes).

I drain the water from the jars, boil it, and pour the cucumbers in again.

The second time I drain the water and make a brine: for 3 liters of water - 6 tablespoons of salt and 5 level tablespoons of sugar.

Carefully pour boiling brine over the cucumbers, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar essence to a 3-liter jar.

I close the lids and roll them up using a seaming machine.

I turn the jars upside down and cover them with towels so that the brine cools more slowly.

This is my favorite recipe for pickling cucumbers. I have already shared it with all my friends and now they also pickle cucumbers this way. They turn out crispy and oh-so delicious!

I also salt my tomatoes for the winter in brine with added sugar: for 1 liter of water, 1 boatload of salt and 4 tablespoons of sugar. I don’t add any greens, just garlic and sweet black peas.

Assorted recipe

I also really love making assorted vegetables.

Place spices, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, cabbage, carrots in jars, pour boiling water over them, let stand for 20 minutes. Then drain the water, add 4 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of salt, 1/2 cup of 9% vinegar to 1.5 liters of water, boil and pour the brine over the vegetables, roll up.

Assorted “Emerald” without sterilization

Let's start with the simplest recipe - without sterilization. The components are designed for a 3 liter jar, but you can count them based on the amount of vegetables available.

It is better to take cucumbers and tomatoes that are medium-sized, elastic, with a hard skin.

Ingredients:

1 kg of cucumbers;
1 kg of tomatoes (can be green);
3 dill umbrellas;
3 pcs. large horseradish leaves;
10 cloves of garlic;
8 pcs. black currant leaves;
10 black peppercorns;
1 sprig tarragon (optional)

1.5 liters of water;
3 tbsp. l. salt;
3 tbsp. l. sugar (with a slide);
100 ml vinegar (9%).

Preparation:

To make the cucumbers crispy, soak them in cold water for several hours.
Wash the jars and lids thoroughly with soda. Then scald the lids with boiling water, and sterilize the jars a little over steam or any other method that is more convenient for you.
Wash all the greens and place them on a paper towel. Peel the garlic, wash it, and divide it into cloves. Salt the water from the cucumbers, wash them thoroughly, and cut off the ends. Small fruits can be left whole. We also wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pierce them 1 cm in the area of the stalk with a skewer or sharp knife.
In each clean jar we put: horseradish and currant leaves, two umbrellas of dill, a branch of tarragon. Then lay out a layer of cucumbers. Add half the garlic cloves.
The next layer is tomatoes. Add the remaining garlic and peppercorns. Cover with a dill umbrella.
Now you need to fill the jars with boiling water twice, and the third time with marinade. It is convenient to pour boiling water into jars from a kettle. For these purposes, I use a special “technical” kettle - for preservation. Fill once, cover with lids, leave for 15 minutes.
Then we pour the water, closing the jars with special lids with holes, back into the kettle. Boil, pour again for 15 minutes. After this time, pour water into the kettle again. Add salt and sugar and bring to a boil. Add vinegar.
Pour the brine into jars and roll them up. Let's turn it over and wrap it up.

After cooling, the assorted cucumbers and tomatoes are ready for the winter!
