Crispy cucumbers in Bulgarian

[the secret of the recipe in another]

Crispy cucumbers in Bulgarian

Category: Blanks

Ingredients
cucumbers	10-12 kg
vinegar 9%	2 bottles
1 liter. bank:
peppercorns	5 peas
allspice	1 - 2 peas
carnation	2 pcs
mustard seeds	1 tsp (under the knife)
Bay leaf	1 PC
garlic	2 cloves
chilli pepper	1/4 part
dill	1 umbrella
horseradish leaf	1/4 sheet
black currant leaf	2 pcs
cherry leaf	1 PC
extragon	a pinch or half of a twig
salt	1 tbsp. l
sugar	1 tbsp. l

Cooking method

• I give my own proportion of ingredients, which I usually put on a 1 liter jar. You can add herbs and spices to your taste, as you usually use for canning cucumbers. It doesn't matter here, the secret of the recipe in another.
• Soak cucumbers for 6-8 hours (I soaked overnight).
• Wash and sterilize cans and lids in a convenient way for you (I sterilized in AG).
• Put a set of spices and chopped herbs in each jar.
• 
• Wash cucumbers and cut off the ends.
• 
• Now comes the fun part!
• Pour the vinegar into a wide saucepan or bowl and heat over a fire to almost boil, but do not boil!
• I took 2 bottles of vinegar for my amount of cucumbers. If there are fewer cucumbers, the vinegar can be reduced.
• Approximate proportions - for 5-6 kg of cucumbers 1 liter of vinegar.
• Pour cucumbers into hot vinegar and keep in vinegar for 1-2 minutes. The cucumbers should change color, turn slightly yellow.
• 
• We take out the cucumbers that have begun to change color from the vinegar and fill the jars with them.
• I did this procedure 5 times, each time heating the vinegar to almost a boil.
• When all the jars are filled with cucumbers, we completely put water on the fire, and bring it to a boil. Water should be taken per 1 liter - 0.5 liters of water.
• In each 1 liter jar we lay out 1 tbsp. l salt and 1 tbsp. l sugar.
• 
• Fill with boiling water, roll up or twist, turn the jar over and shake a little until sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
• We wrap it in a blanket and keep it until it cools completely.
• 
• I got 16 1 liter jars of cucumbers.
• 

Note

I overheard this recipe by accident and at first was skeptical. Then I was bribed by the fact that they said that the cucumbers are crispy and very tasty, an exact copy of the Bulgarian cucumbers, which were previously sold in jars.
I just bought 10 kg of cucumbers, and also collected a couple of kg of my own.
I decided to take a chance and roll up all the cucumbers in this way.
I will say right away - I myself closed it like that for the first time. But these cucumbers were very much praised by those from whom I heard the recipe.
I closed in 1 liter jars and rolled them up turnkey. You can take more jars. And close with twist-off lids (with twist).

Very interesting recipe, thanks! I will definitely do it. I understood correctly, do not add vinegar to jars (drain)?

[safirr]

safirr, correctly understood, do not add vinegar to jars, for later discard.

[nila]

nila, An interesting recipe and preparation !!! Thank you Nelechka, I will definitely try! Intrigued!

[lettohka ttt]

lettohka ttt, cooking is really not ordinary. The most interesting thing is what happens, just open the jar for a test.
I also liked the quick procurement method.

Nelechka, a really quick way, it's not three times to fill in !!! :-) :-)

Considering that I had 12 kg of cucumbers, I did not manage very quickly. While washing, prepare the greens and shove them into the banks. Then it took me about 2 hours, but then things went faster, I didn't have time to look around, and I had to call my husband to roll.

And I myself have learned to roll :-) already 20 years ago)) and so great! Especially when you roll at night :-) :-) :-)

Yes, I can roll it up, but laziness you have to load your husband with something. Yes, and in principle I do not roll it myself now.
Our sealing key broke that year. There was also a submachine gun, but that was shit. I was going to buy the Kremenchug key, and he was about his business at the bazaar and without asking me, he bought a snail, just like it broke. She had a fight, but there was nothing to do, not to run after the second.
This year, just at the time of rolling these jars, he himself said to find out why this year good sealing keys

I have from a stainless steel, two seams, one in general for small jars of mayonnaise! already for 20 years they, in the hands of anyone I do not give, although many are trying to :-) if anything, I close it myself, now they do not!

one in general for small jars of mayonnaise

this is really a value, but the lids for such jars where to get

[Chuchenka]

Ukhtyshka, as ours says Chuchenka! Definitely, the recipe is in the piggy bank. A couple more weeks and the time will come for the blanks. Thank you, Nelechka! I brought such an unusual recipe!

Thank you, Nelya! At first glance, I'll try a seemingly uncomplicated recipe.

[Nelya]

A couple more weeks and it's time

neeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Irishka .. uzho's time .... so it is necessary to roll ... but bribed the name of ... vinegar and then nafik .... It is necessary to do this weekend ...

I am confused by this phrase

Water should be taken per 1 liter - 0.5 liters of water.

do you mean 1 liter can? half a liter of water on her?

Nelya, thanks for the recipe!

... it's time.

There is nothing of the current yet! I don't have any more ogurs for seaming! Yesterday, only the first two laughed, and even those with gulkin's nose.

[nila]

nila, an interesting recipe, thanks for the idea!
And how many of these cucumbers have you already stored? Is it okay, isn't the brine cloudy? I am worried about their safety. It's hot here, and cucumbers are so capricious in conservation, they often explode

[Lily,]

Thank you very much to everyone who looked in, who wrote a review, or just added. I myself am very worried, because I have tried this method for the first time. What is delicious, for some reason I am confident. I'm worried about how they will stand.
Lily, , my cucumbers have been standing for a week. We were sent to the basement, but the basement is now more on airing and drying, because it costs more open. Now I ran down the steps on purpose, looked at my cucumbers. All 16 jars stand like soldiers ... transparent .. ... TTT ...
Irina, , your time has not come yet, but here it is already in full swing. True, there are very few of our own, you have to bribe.
You have more cucumbers of your own, so that you have enough to eat and prepare.
I also have a recipe for cucumbers from a barrel, I have to put it out later.
AlenKa, usually we are filling liquid as we think? plus or minus 50 to 50. If you have 5 liter jars, then boil water at the rate of + - 2.5 liters. Well, boil a little more ... just think, pure boiling water will remain.

[Nelya]

Nelya, that's what I meant .... thanks for the advice ...

Nelya, thanks for the answer! Let's hope they keep well until they are eaten.
Already going for an extra bottle of vinegar for this recipe, I will also experiment

5-6 kg per 1 liter of vinegar! This is golimy vinegar! Is it possible to reduce the amount of vinegar without damaging the product?

5-6 kg per 1 liter of vinegar!

I understand that the cucumbers are only brewed in it, and then the vinegar is in the trash)))

No, I will probably preserve it in my own way, without vinegar, natural fermentation and there is no hassle at all, although, no, I will try a couple of jars, the result is still interesting

I'll try a couple of jars, the result is still interesting

similarly!

[Lucilia]

Lucilia,
Ludmila, so all this vinegar remains in the bowl. You just need to dip the cucumbers in this vinegar, hold it and then get it out of it. And pour out the vinegar, I could not find another use for it.

that cucumbers are only brewed in it

not, do not brew.it is necessary to bring the vinegar to a boil, but do not boil. as you see the first bubbles, and off. cucumbers are simply bathed in vinegar until the color changes.

Very interesting recipe) I will try)
Girls, what a tarragon? Where do they buy it?

No, I probably will preserve it in my own way, without vinegar, natural fermentation and there is no hassle at all, although, no, I'll try a couple of jars, the result is still interesting

so it is .. natural fermentation - it will be pickled cucumbers, and these are pickled, I understood correctly ...

[Elena]

Elena, that's right, this pickled cucumber should turn out.
Extragon is the herb tarragon. If you don't grow it yourself, you can buy it at the bazaar from grandmothers selling greens. But you can do without extragon, it just adds a sharp, pleasant taste to cucumbers. But it is important not to overdo it, just a little for the smell.

Yesterday I rolled up 4 liter cans .. for a test ... I'll see what happens ... in the morning I looked at more hot cans ... beautiful))))) I really want it to be tasty too

not, do not brew. it is necessary to bring the vinegar to a boil, but do not boil. as you see the first bubbles, and off. cucumbers just bathe in vinegar, until the color changes

And tell me - for a portion of cucumbers, you can use the same vinegar several times, heating it several times and putting a new portion of cucumbers in it. Or, for each new serving of cucumbers, you need to warm up a new serving of vinegar, pouring out the already used one?

And tell me - for a portion of cucumbers, you can use the same vinegar several times, heating it several times and putting a new portion of cucumbers in it. Or, for each new serving of cucumbers, you need to warm up a new serving of vinegar, pouring out the already used one?

I used the same one ... just when I caught the cucumbers, the amount of vinegar decreased ... maybe the cucumbers absorbed it ???

[AlenKa]

AlenKa, I also hope that they should be very tasty. Yesterday I arrived late from the seas and immediately went down to the basement to check the jars, they are, dear, transparent.
Lily, I left 2 liters. vinegar, I just forgot to pour it out right away. And a day later I rolled up another jar with the same vinegar (warmed up). Then she poured it mercilessly.
p.s. read the question carefully. of course, we soak all the cucumbers in one serving of vinegar, we just heat it up every time.

read the question carefully. of course, we soak all the cucumbers in one serving of vinegar, we just heat it up every time.

Nelia, thanks. And then this question did not give me rest. I already bought 2 liters of vinegar, but for the amount of cucumbers that I am going to make according to this recipe, this amount would obviously not be enough if I used new vinegar every time.

Yesterday I rolled up 4 liter cans ..

AlenKa, do you have small or regular cucumbers? How much does a liter jar include? I am not sure whether to make many liter cans or one 3-liter balloon?

[Lily]

AlenKa, do you have small or regular cucumbers? How much does a liter jar include? I am not sure whether to make many liter cans or one 3-liter balloon?

cucumbers were 6-9 cm ... initially completely freshly rammed into the jar .. 12 pieces came out .. then, as they boiled and rammed, they fit more ... I had to urgently wash 5 more cucumbers and cook ..

Lily, I think, the number of cucumbers also depends on the shape of the jar .. you try on, as I did at first, add about a couple of pieces to the jar ... and do not cook everything right away to orient yourself in time ..

you try on, as I did at first, add about a couple of pieces to the jar ... and don't cook everything right away to get your bearings in time ..

Thank you, AlenKa, I realized that this is a creative process.
And you can fill the jar with pieces of cucumbers, if that? Or they will be soft ...

[Lily]

Lily, I'm afraid that there will be no crunchiness ... but my personal opinion, it all depends on the quality of the cucumbers !. I would cut even for comparison !. In order not to ask such a question in the future ...
would only cut across and before boiling in vinegar ..

You can cut a zucchini on top, I think it will be even tastier than a cucumber)))

Girls, no one opened the already rolled can for testing? I also rolled it up. The process itself is just a song. But I don’t know how it will taste. If after a week I open one jar to try, will there be the final result?

I immediately went down to the basement, check the jars, they are, dear, transparent.

yach, too, looked yesterday ... they are beautiful ... today I also pinned a bucket of cucumbers from the dacha ... maybe I still have such? ... there is not enough time for anything ... but here quickly ... the main thing also, so that everything that we are doing beautifully here is preserved ... and then - how delicious it will be ... but if at least one jar was capricious, I would try right away .. I would not digest ...

[Anna]

If after a week I open one jar to try, will there be the final result?

Anna, when are you going to try ?. unsubscribe be sure!

[Anna]

Anna, when are you going to try ?. unsubscribe be sure!

The week will be on Saturday, I really want to try. One cucumber did not fit into the jar when I did it yesterday. Tasted it as soon as it got cold from the vinegar. Its peel is 2 mm sourish, such a pleasant taste, even without salt. I really hope that the taste will be great, because the rolling process is fantastically simple. Made with different ratio of salt-sugar: 1 / 1,1 / 2.

[Fifanya]

Fifanya, I persuaded - I will repeat today ... I also liked this slight immaculateness ... boil and fish ... only there was nothing left for the test. ...

Girls, I couldn't stand it. I opened one of the first cans for testing. To say that it is delicious is to say nothing. Very, very tasty. Cucumbers with a slight sourness, crispy. This will be my main recipe for a long time to come. True, because of my pathological laziness, I slightly altered the recipe. I did not take specifically 9% vinegar, but took 330 ml of 70% essence (a standard 330 ml bottle) and diluted it in 2.5 liters of water. (It is easier to bring a bottle of 330 ml from the store than 2L of 9% vinegar), in this case the vinegar will be 8, 16%, which, I think, does not really harm the basic recipe. Then everything according to the recipe, poured jars of cucumbers with boiling water from potter to the very top with an overflow, rolled them up, turned them over and did not wrap them up with anything. So they cooled off. I have already turned 33 liters. Thanks to the author for the recipe presented to us on time.

And I have 4 cucumbers yesterday did not fit into the jar .. I marinated them in a bowl ... now I’ll come and try it too ... I’ll accomplish your goal if I can stop in time)))

I tried it ... I liked it very much ...
after all, they have that very "Bulgarian" from a purchased can ... maybe sweetness with sourness ... it's impossible to describe ... but I'm really happy that I rolled up so many cans ...
it remains to find out how they will be preserved ... I have neither a cellar nor a balcony ... naturally there is no place in the refrigerator for cans - only for open ones ... that's why I try to close small ones ... so that I can open and eat ...

aaaa .. I also wanted to add - very small cucumbers in general will be awesome ...

Birthmarks are standing, 9 liters per three rubles. Withstood the heat well. Cucumbers are not high-grade - this is a plus of the recipe. Large ones cut in half, cut empty ones. They removed all the defects with vinegar. When my husband entered the kitchen, he asked if I had confused my laboratory at the university with my house. I replied that I train before the start of the school year. The only thing was that my eyes hurt the next day. You can't do much, just for a change. But cucumbers promise to be delicious. In winter we will taste it, and now - on the sea !!!!!

And I did. Now they are cooling down .... In the morning I drove to the market, bought earthen cucumbers, and some are just small things. Immediately I remembered about your recipe and rolled up 2 jars. I think my husband will like it.
I'll let it brew for a week and unsubscribe

A new season begins
Please write your impressions of the cucumbers (how they were stored and how they taste)

The topic, cucumbers are already two years old and no one has complained yet - it means that the recipe has been tested, what other opinions are needed
And you can define the taste yourself - this is an individual matter.

[Svetlana]

SvetlanaI don't know how they stand, but the whole family likes it! Thanks again to the author for the recipe

[AlenKa]

AlenKa, and yet it is very interesting how the cans stand at room temperature? And is it necessary to cut off the butts of cucumbers? As far as I remember, the Bulgarian were entirely, not cut off.

[Chionodox]

I haven't looked into the topic since last August. Then there were problems with the Internet, and then the season of pickling cucumbers passed, so I forgot about my recipe.
And today I took the first crop of my ripe cucumbers from the garden, and of course I immediately went to look for a recipe, because what I wrote down on the note that year has long been lost. It's good that there is a dear, she will keep everything and will not lose!
What can I say about my 16 jars, which I closed that year? There were 2 jars left, they did not master it together with my husband, but only because there were also other cucumbers closed according to other recipes.
And despite the fact that I, instead of normal salt, put salt in all the jars of sea salt, and it came to me only about a month later, when I discovered that my husband had poured the wrong salt and in the wrong place, the cucumbers stood perfectly. The taste is moderately sour and crispy, everything was great. But I have a basement. How they stood in the apartment and preserved, this can be suggested by those girls who made according to this recipe and stored in apartments.
This year I will make most of the cucumbers according to this recipe, I have already stocked up the vinegar.

ChionodoxThe butts are cut for better penetration of the vinegar into the middle. But if you have very small cucumbers, as in the jars of those .. Bulgarian ones, then I think you can leave your butts.
