Features of cooking cucumbers with black currants
For pickling or pickling cucumbers with black currants for the winter, you should take small young fruits. For whole canning, varieties with pimples are better suited - their flesh is usually denser, crisp.
Of course, it would be ideal to cook them immediately after collection, but the townspeople are deprived of such an opportunity. To "revive" vegetables, they are poured with cold water for 2-3 hours.
All blanks with aspirin are not rolled up, but closed with an ordinary nylon lid. Fermentation processes will take place in the container for some time. The hermetically sealed lid will rip off or it will swell.
When pickling, do not overdo it with vinegar. It's no secret that some housewives try to pour it a little more so that the twist stands up better. Currant is a berry rich in vitamin C, and it is itself a preservative.
