Summer is in full swing – it’s time to preserve delicious and crispy cucumbers. Mustard seeds help keep the vegetables crunchy, and use dry herbs, leaves, and fresh herbs for flavor. For a spicy taste, you can add a little hot red pepper to the workpiece. Preservation is prepared without sterilization by the method of two fillings. This is quite enough for cans with a size of up to one and a half liters. If you close the cucumbers in a larger container, we recommend pouring the preservation three times. The recipe is based on a 1.5 liter jar.
