Crisp Cucumbers in a Tangy Embrace
Fresh small cucumbers gently cured in a brine of vinegar and salt, cooled off rather than cooked—so they stay crunchy, bright, and full of that refreshing tang.
Ingredients
- 10 small cucumbers
- 50 g vinegar
- 2 tablespoons salt
- Water, just enough to cover the cucumbers
Instructions
- Place the cucumbers in a pot and add enough water to cover them. Add the vinegar and salt.
- Heat the pot over medium heat until the water comes to a boil, then immediately remove it from the heat. The cucumbers should not cook; they need to remain crisp.
- Let the cucumbers cool completely in the pot.
- Transfer the cucumbers to sterilized jars and pour in the brine to cover them completely. Seal the jars tightly.
Brine That Preserves Crunch
A simple mixture of vinegar, salt and water treats the cucumbers gently; heating the brine quickly then cooling keeps their snap without softening.
Jar-Ready Goodness
Once cooled, the cucumbers go into sterilized jars fully submerged in brine to seal in flavor—perfect to serve with meals, snacks, or any time you want a refreshing bite.
