Cucumbers in apple juice for the winter: canning recipes with photos and videos

In August, the apple tree filled us with apples, we didn’t even know what to do with them. I pressed on cider and decided to cook cucumbers in apple juice for the winter. Soku pressed a lot, and there was enough for cider and cucumbers. I read different recipes, chose, in my opinion, the most successful. I suggest you try them out.

Cooking cucumbers without sterilization in apple juice

In the morning I picked fresh cucumbers in the greenhouse, just Herman pleased me with beautiful, even 12 cm cucumbers. Herman pickles always taste great. Although the greens are only from the garden, I still put them in a basin and filled them with cold water. They were in my water for at least 2 hours.

Went through the garden, plucked leaves from currants, cherries. You need a little on a jar - 2-3 currants, 1-2 cherries. I looked into the garden, found a couple of dill umbrellas. I had to get another bowl. I always soak greens in 2-3 waters before use. There is dirt and dust on the leaves, although it is not visible.

Juice

Juice 1.5 l I had already prepared the day before, stood in the refrigerator. I crushed apples on an ordinary garden juicer, then strained through cheesecloth. I stood in the refrigerator, the remnants of the pulp settled to the bottom, and the juice became transparent, like a tear. It took about 4 kg of apples to prepare the juice. The figure is approximate, because the volume depends on the juiciness of the fruit.

I like to pickle cucumbers in apple juice in jars with a large throat. Easy to wash, easy to lay out cucumbers and spices. In jars with a wide mouth, any pickled vegetables look very appetizing. So that my jar does not explode with my cucumbers in winter, I sterilize it.

Now that everyone has a microwave in their kitchen, it makes no sense to bother with sterilizing jars in the oven or steam. Pour 0.5 cup of water into a jar washed with soda, put it in the microwave, turn on the oven for 5 minutes. Sterile jar is ready.

Cucumber preparation

I rinse the cucumbers, wash them with a sponge, mine carefully, I don’t spare my hands because I’m afraid of botulism. I put clean, brilliant cucumbers on a large dish to wrap around. I pour a full kettle of water and turn it on.

I take out a jar from the microwave oven, greens from the basin - currant, cherry leaves and dill umbrellas. Shake the greens and put one part in a jar, leave the second for the top.

I cut off the tips of the cucumbers, put the cucumbers in a jar. I prefer to put them vertically. The jar looks beautiful and green with this method of laying includes more.

The jar is full, the kettle is boiling. I pour boiling water into the jar and cover it with the previously boiled lid. While the cucumbers are warming up, I am marinating.

Preparation of apple juice marinade

I take out the apple juice from the refrigerator, pour it into a saucepan, put it on the stove. I add 1 tablespoon of sugar and s alt to the marinade. My apples are very sweet, so sugar 1 tbsp. l. For sour fruits, you can increase the amount of sugar to 2 tbsp. l.

Remove the boiled marinade from the stove, pour 1 dessert spoon of apple cider vinegar into it. I pour out water from a jar of cucumbers, pour boiling marinade into it, twist the lid. The preparation for the winter is almost ready, it remains to put it under a fur coat. Under a fur coat, cucumbers in apple juice will stand until completely cooled (1-2 days). I will store the workpiece in the cellar.
