What you should never add when preserving cucumbers: the vegetables will become soft
It turns out that pickled cucumbers become soft because of just one ingredient.
If you refuse to use it, the green cucumbers will turn out very crispy and, of course, tasty.
What shouldn't you put in a jar? It turns out that the main mistake is too much garlic.
Of course, you can’t do without this spicy vegetable at all, because the taste of the preparations largely depends on whether garlic is present in the recipe.
But you definitely shouldn’t overdo it with this component, because it is what can make canned cucumbers soft.
For a 3-liter jar, one clove of garlic is enough.
And if you want to give the cucumbers extra firmness and crunch, throw in some oak leaves with the other ingredients.
Housewives who have used these recommendations in practice assure that all the neighbors will come running to the crunch of cucumbers.
