Cucumbers “Awesome” for the winter should definitely be cooked, as they really turn out the same as the name. Cooking them is not difficult, the main thing is to prepare and sterilize the right amount of glass jars in advance. In this recipe, the proportions will be indicated on a 1 liter jar. Therefore, if you need to roll up more vegetables for the winter, you can safely increase the proportions by several times.
When choosing cucumbers on the market, it is better to purchase, of course, homemade vegetables. They should not be too large in size. It is up to you to roll up the lids with a special key or use jars with self-tightening lids, whichever is more convenient, and do it. It is better to store conservation in a special place where it is not hot and where direct sunlight does not fall. In terms of shelf life, I would like to say that such cucumbers can safely stand for more than one season, but for sure a couple. But, since they turn out to be very tasty, most likely you will not have a single jar left by the summer, and you will have to roll them up again next winter. But that’s how it should be, isn’t it?
