Villainous canned cucumbers with vodka for the winter: recipes with photos and videos

Choose a recipe with lots of garlic. I have an abundance of garlic, planted winter for the first time in my life. The growth is excellent, large, but I did not guess the timing of harvesting, the heads turned out to be not dense. Such garlic heads are not stored for a long time, so I decided to find a use for them as an additive to villainous canned cucumbers with vodka.

How to cook villainous cucumbers

I had my garlic. The approximate diameter of one head is 3.5-4 cm. I took 4 pieces. Store-bought, Chinese heads of garlic are almost the same size, they need the same amount - 4 pieces. I took my own greenhouse cucumbers.

I planted an early ripe variety at the end of June especially for autumn consumption. At the end of August, pretty gherkins, ideal for pickling, were having fun on the bushes in the greenhouse.

I took the recipe for 2 kg, so I collected so many cucumbers, washed them, soaked them for several hours in cold water. Would have left them overnight if I had used store-bought cucumbers.

Preparation of spices and garlic

In addition to cucumbers and garlic, the recipe contains spices:

1. Horseradish leaves.
2. Currant leaves.
3. Umbrella dill.
4. Citric acid - 10g
5. Vodka - 50g
6. S alt and sugar 2 tbsp. l.

Recipe for 4 heads of garlic, had to peel. I cleaned each slice, cut off the bottom of each clove, cut out the spoiled places. Peeled teeth rinsed in running water.

Horseradish (leaves), currants, dill (umbrella) washed, soaked for an hour in water, rinsed several times in running water. I thought and decided to make cucumbers even more villainous . To do this, I took a horseradish root 3 centimeters long and 1.5 cm in diameter. The root was peeled and washed thoroughly. You need to preserve clean vegetables and herbs.

I thought about adding peppercorns, bay leaves and cloves to the marinade, but decided to limit myself to greens and horseradish. I decided that with pepper and cloves, the taste of cucumbers will be classic, like pickled cucumbers, and with herbs and garlic, closer to the taste of pickled cucumbers.

Preparing jars

I never regret the time to prepare jars. The cleaner the bank, the better the workpiece is stored. If all ingredients are followed during preparation, pickled vegetables store well in the pantry at room temperature.

My cans of soda or laundry soap. Both that, and another means well launders dirt and disinfects a glass surface, kills harmful bacteria, microbes.

I rinse the jars several times in running water, be sure to sterilize them. Most often in the microwave, sometimes steamed over a pot of boiling water. Both ways have never let me down. Banks, without exploding, are worth the whole year.

Marine

I take 1.5 liters of water, pour it into a saucepan, put it on the stove. I add only sugar, s alt to the water and bring to a boil. While the water boils, I fill the jars. All components are laid in layers. A layer of cucumbers, a layer of greens, a layer of garlic.

I do not cut the garlic, I put whole cloves. There will be delicious cucumbers and delicious pickled garlic in the jar. Garlic cloves from the marinade can be used in other dishes. They are especially good with meat.

Pour cucumbers in a jar with boiled marinade, let them stand for 8-10 minutes. I pour the marinade into the pan and bring it to a boil again. I pour the marinade into a jar. I take out a bottle of vodka from the refrigerator, measure 50 g and pour it into cucumbers, pour citric acid there. All. I twist the jar, turn it upside down, put a blanket on top.

Family feast

In November, the usual family feast happened. Children, grandson gathered. I prepared aspic for this occasion and cooked vigorous, red borscht with fresh cabbage.

A jar of my villainous cucumbers also went to the table. They went with a bang and borscht with a bang. S alted with garlic cucumbers are ideally combined with borscht and jelly. In the evening, a cleanly washed cucumber jar was already standing in the pantry on a shelf. I advise all housewives to try this method of harvesting cucumbers for the winter. This s alting will not stand for a long time, it simply will not be enough for the winter.
