Very tasty “barrel” cucumbers

I would like to offer a recipe for pickling that has been proven over the years. He has never let me down yet. My family and friends eat them with pleasure and praise the pickles.

Advice:

I try to cook on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (these are “men’s” days). In this case, cucumbers always turn out very tasty, strong, crispy and are perfectly stored until the New Year, and sometimes even until spring.

Ingredients:

  • 3 kg of cucumbers;
  • 3 dill umbrellas with stem and herbs;
  • 3 leaves of horseradish (you can take one root);
  • 3 cloves of garlic;
  • 1 PC. hot pepper (optional);
  • 3 black currant leaves. (optional);
  • 3 cherry leaves (optional);
  • table salt (it is undesirable to use iodized salt, as the taste of cucumbers may not change for the better) - 3 tbsp. spoons without top.

Note:

I am considering the option of salting based on 3 liters. For a 1 liter jar put 1 tbsp. spoon of salt, for 2 liters - 2 tbsp. spoons.

The most interesting thing is that this recipe does not have any specific proportions of cucumbers and spices. Put everything on the “eye”, it will turn out even better. Horseradish adds a great crunch to the cucumbers and adds flavor to the rest of the spices.

If you add more or less of something, the taste will be more or less rich, but no worse.

Experiment for your health!

Cooking sequence:

  1. It is advisable to keep the cucumbers for some time (about 1-2 hours) in water. This is necessary in order to remove bitterness as much as possible, if it is present (which is not surprising, especially in very hot weather).
  2. Prepare the jars: wash and rinse thoroughly. You can sterilize for five minutes, but it is not necessary. We will need a nylon lid, but one that closes tightly.
  3. Then wash the spices in water and chop the horseradish and dill not very finely. Currant and cherry leaves do not need to be cut. Peel and cut the garlic. Just wash the hot pepper and cut it into 2-3 parts.
  4. We cut off the ends of cleanly washed cucumbers on both sides. My experience has shown that this needs to be done, although some housewives prefer to place the cucumbers whole. This is also quite acceptable.
  5. At the bottom of the jar we put a little dill, currant and cherry leaves and horseradish.
  6. Then we begin to place the cucumbers. Here everything depends on your imagination and the size of the vegetables.
  7. I usually put the larger ones at the bottom, then the medium ones, and the smaller ones at the top.
  8. When you get 1/3 of the jar, add a spoonful of salt (without the top), add a little garlic and hot pepper. To make everything look beautiful, it is advisable to place some of the spices on the sides of the jar.
  9. Then add another small layer of horseradish and dill, cherry leaves and currants.
  10. We continue to add cucumbers. When you get 2/3 of the jar, add a spoonful of salt again (without the top). Add garlic, pepper.
  11. When the layer reaches the shoulders of the jar, place another 1 tbsp on top. a spoonful of salt, add the remaining spices and cover everything with horseradish leaves.
  12. Keep the nylon lid in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
  13. Then fill our jar with regular cold water and cover tightly with the lid. Shake slightly to distribute the salt a little.
  14. Now we put it in the cellar, basement, refrigerator (cool place) for long-term storage.

This recipe does not involve canning. It will suit and appeal to many. Everything is very simple and natural. And it's not harmful at all. You can add such cucumbers to pickles, solyankas, salads: Olivier salad, vinaigrette, etc.

For spiciness, you can add hot peppers

Home > h) Recipes > 2. Cucumbers > Pickling cucumbers in a barrel or tub

Published July 15, 2013 Author: Valery Medvedev


Previously, almost every village family
salted cucumbers in barrels for the winter, and they used fairly large barrels (from 50 to 100 liters). The families were large, and this product was also eaten in large quantities. Now times have changed, and more and more cucumbers began to be preserved in jars using vinegar. But two years ago I purchased 2 small tubs with a volume of 10 liters. And for the second year now I have been pickling cucumbers and tomatoes in them, and this year my harvest bed has grown excellent cucumbers for pickling.

Cucumbers should be picked for pickling early in the morning, starting from the 6th day from the new moon on the waxing moon. At this time, cucumbers are much stronger compared to the time when the moon is waning.

Immediately after harvesting, the cucumbers are filled with ice water; if there is none, then ice is added to the water. Cucumbers should stand in this water for 2-3 hours.

During this time, spices are usually prepared and a barrel or tub is prepared.

For spices, I use dill, blackcurrant leaves, and horseradish leaves. If your barrel is not oak, then it is advisable to add oak or cherry leaves, because Tannins help cucumbers stay strong. Tarragon is also used as a spice. And horseradish leaves are sometimes replaced with garlic. But that's up to your taste.

Also, while the cucumbers are soaking, it is advisable to prepare the brine; I personally boil it, cool it and let it settle. The brine contains water and salt per 10 liters. water 600-700 gr. salt, depending on the size of the cucumbers and storage location.

I prepare the tub as follows: I steam it with boiling water with juniper branches for about half an hour, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and let it dry, turning it upside down.

If you have purchased a new oak tub or barrel, then you should first soak it in cold water for a week or a week and a half, changing it daily, otherwise the amount of tannins will be excessive, which will simply ruin your cucumbers.

After collecting, the spicy leaves are washed and dried on a napkin or towel. Horseradish and currant leaves are left whole, dill is cut on average 5 cm long, and the best quality of dill is when it is in the umbrella stage with green seeds.

So, we have prepared everything, all that remains is to fill our tub correctly.

To do this, horseradish leaves are lined on the bottom, then black currant leaves and dill is poured on top. Cucumbers are placed on this spicy feather bed, standing up, as they grow on a branch. It is worth placing larger cucumbers on the first row.

On top of the first row we make a second layer of spices and again place the cucumbers tightly. I put 2 layers of medium-sized cucumbers into a 10-liter tub. We cover everything on top with spices again, only in the reverse order: dill, blackcurrant leaves and cover everything on top with horseradish leaves.

The tub must be filled to the top. All that remains is to carefully pour the cooled, settled brine into it, which takes about 5-6 liters. The entire tub is filled, now close it tightly with the lid.

Before putting the tub in the cellar, you should keep it at room temperature (18-20 degrees) for a day so that lactic acid begins to form in the cucumbers, which is an additional preservative for salt. Then the tub is removed to the cellar or glacier.

If the temperature in the cellar does not exceed 5 degrees, then such cucumbers can be stored until next year. If you are going to eat cucumbers much earlier, then you can store the tub underground or in the basement, but there it can be stored for no more than 2-3 months.

If the cucumbers are medium in size, they will be ready to eat in 2-3 weeks. I personally took out my tub for the New Year holidays that year, which pleasantly pleased the guests. I hope that this year’s cucumbers will also turn out great.

We wash the cucumbers from sand. You can soak them for a couple of hours in cool water. If they are straight from the garden, you don’t have to do this.

We disassemble the head of garlic into cloves and peel them. Then we sort through the greens: throw away the wilted branches and rinse the remaining ones in cold water, then dry them with a towel.

Cut the hot pepper pod into small pieces. We pre-wash and steam the jars for the preparation. Then place garlic cloves on the bottom of the jar (you can press them down a little with a knife so that the garlic releases its juice). Then add chopped pieces of pepper and selected prepared greens.

Next, lay out the cucumbers quite tightly so that there are no empty spaces left in the jar. Then pour dry mustard powder into the jar at the rate of 1-1.5 tbsp. for every liter jar.

Prepare the brine: pour 1 liter of cold boiled water into a bowl and add 1.5 tablespoons of salt, stir until the salt dissolves, and pour into the jar (if necessary, prepare the brine again in the same proportion and add to the top of the jar).

  6. When fermentation is over, the brine is drained, and the workpiece is washed several times directly in jars under the tap. This is necessary to get rid of white plaque.

Water is poured from the tap, the container is knocked on the body to let the air out, and the key is rolled up.

Pickled cucumbers for the winter in jars like barrels under a nylon lid

A simple recipe for pickling cucumbers in jars under a nylon lid. They are prepared in a cold way using raw cold drinking water. These pickles should be stored in a dark, cool place, for example, in a cellar or refrigerator. They taste like barrel ones. You can eat such cucumbers not only in winter, but at any time of the year.

To prepare, take:

  • Fresh medium-sized cucumbers - how many will fit into a 3-liter jar;
  • 3 cloves of garlic;
  • 5-6 oak leaves;
  • 5-6 currant leaves;
  • 5-6 cherry leaves;
  • 4 small leaves of horseradish;
  • 4 dill umbrellas;
  • 2 bay leaves;
  • 6 black peppercorns;
  • 3 tablespoons salt.

Preparation:

Take a clean three-liter jar. On its bottom we place: oak leaves, currant leaves, cherry leaves, two horseradish leaves, bay leaf, pepper. We also place dill umbrellas and garlic cloves cut into halves in the jar.


Next, place the pre-washed cucumbers in the jar. We try to pack the cucumbers as tightly as possible.

Take a glass of clean drinking water, add 3 tablespoons of salt to it, stir, dissolve the salt in the water. Pour the saline solution into a jar of cucumbers. Next, add regular cold drinking water almost to the top. At the same time, shake slightly so that the solution is mixed. Place two leaves of horseradish on top. This is necessary to ensure that mold does not form on top during the fermentation process. Add water to the very top. Place the jar on a large deep plate and cover the top with the lid facing up.

Gradually, the fermentation process will take place in the jar, and excess liquid will be poured into the plate. We leave the cucumbers in this state for about three days until the fermentation process stops.

Next, add cold salted drinking water to the jar, close it tightly with a nylon lid and send it to a dark, cool place.

These pickled cucumbers in jars are perfect for making pickle soup and various salads.

Cold pickling of cucumbers in a barrel for the winter

Type of dish: appetizer.

Difficulty of preparation: easy preparation.

Ingredients

The proportions of salt for brine depend on the size of the cucumbers.

For every 10 liters of water you need to take salts:

  • 850–900 g - for large ones;
  • 750–800 g - for medium ones;
  • 650–700 g - for small cucumbers.

If you have a larger or smaller container for pickling, then the amount of ingredients will increase or decrease proportionally. The calculation of the amount of salt for brine remains the same.

Important! The salt for pickling is ordinary table salt, coarsely ground, without any additives.

  1. Approximately 2 weeks before the intended salting, it is worth inspecting the container and preparing it. If the barrel is wooden, then it is thoroughly washed, soaked and steamed. Immediately before salting, its walls are rubbed with garlic to avoid the formation of mold.
  2. On the eve of work on laying cucumbers, vegetables must be selected and prepared.
  3. The greens indicated in the recipe are washed and dried. Dill and tarragon are cut into pieces of 15–20 cm.
  4. Horseradish root is washed, peeled and cut into rings approximately 1 cm thick.
  5. Prepare salt brine for pouring: 10 liters of water must be heated to +25...+30°C, dissolve the amount of salt, strain and leave to cool.
  6. Horseradish and black currant leaves, dill, tarragon, taken in approximately 25% of the total volume, are placed on the bottom of the barrel. Horseradish leaves line the bottom first.
  7. Then a layer of cucumbers is placed tightly together. Vegetables are laid out standing, nose down. The layer is covered with a mixture of herbs and spices. The stacking of vegetables is alternated with herbs up to the top of the barrel. The greens should be the topmost layer; it is covered with horseradish leaves.
  8. After preparing all the layers, the cucumbers are filled with brine so that the liquid completely covers all the layers.
  9. If you have an open barrel, then cover the cucumbers with a linen cloth, place a circle and bend it. If you have a tub, then simply seal it with a lid.
  10. The container with cucumbers is left for 2-3 days in a room with a temperature of +18...+20°C for the fermentation process.
  11. Next, the container with cucumbers is moved to a cool room to complete the fermentation process. Usually it is 30–35 days.
  12. In the first days, the brine level should be monitored. If it drops too much, you need to top it up.
