Curry pickled cucumbers is probably my favorite version of pickles. They are much better than store-bought. You can prepare them very easily and without pasteurization! This is a very simple and quick recipe. You can prepare the whole thing in 15 minutes and the cucumbers are ready to eat the next day. All you have to do is leave the ready-made jars for a few hours so that they have time to get the taste of the brine and you can eat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you will find a recipe for mild cucumbers with curry spice, but if you prefer a spicy version, you can add a tablespoon of hot paprika to the brine. For pickling, it is best to use small and medium-sized cucumbers. Avoid overgrown cucumbers, which have large seed pockets, which will make them less crispy and springy (for accuracy, I think cucumbers up to 10 cm long and up to 3 cm wide will be best).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to be sure that the cucumbers will be springy, you can put the washed cucumbers in cold water before marinating. Cucumbers can stay in a bowl of cold water for several hours if you have that much time, but soaking is not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What salt to use to pickle cucumbers?<\/strong>
Although many blogs recommend using only non-iodized rock salt for preserves, I usually use iodized rock salt and have never had a problem with pickling. So don’t worry if you don’t have non-iodized salt – cucumbers will definitely come out. If you use sea salt, remember that it is saltier than rock salt. So you can add a little less or prepare a little more salty cucumbers, it all depends on your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cucumbers can be cut into slices, lengthwise or crosswise. You can also cut them into quarters, but if you want to eat them on sandwiches like I do, then slices will work better. If you don’t like cucumbers with the skin on, you can peel the cucumbers before slicing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When puting cucumbers into the jars do not force the slices into them. Remember that the jar must also fit the brine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend adding grape leaves and\/or cherry leaves and\/or currant leaves to the jar. Depends on what you have on hand. I add such leaves to all cucumber pickles. Thanks to the tannins present in the leaves, cucumbers will be crispier and better preserved. It is also popular to add oak or raspberry leaves to cucumbers. Add the ones you have the easiest access to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pouring the brinr, remember that all ingredients must be below the surface of the water. Otherwise, cucumbers may go moldy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to use only undamaged caps and jars for preparing preserves. It’s best to have a few extra caps on hand in case the ones you have prepared turn out to be damaged. If the cap leaks or does not want to be sucked in, you should use a different one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use freshly boiled-hot jars, hot brine to prepare the pickles and close the jars right away, you won’t have to preserve them! The jars and the pickles are hot enough to seal themselves. You can easily store cucumbers closed in this way all winter in the pantry, as long as you don’t eat them first ;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, pescatarian and gluten-free diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following proportions make 6 half-liter jars full of delicious cucumbers, lunch portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
