Many people still continue to make preserves, since cucumbers of decent quality are inexpensive.

Therefore, there is a great opportunity to make impressive reserves.

Particularly valued are high-quality, firm vegetables that turn out crispy and elastic when pickled. This is not always possible to achieve.

Some people think that you just need to choose the right marinade recipe and responsibly select the vegetables themselves. However, this may not be enough.

What trick will help make cucumbers incredibly crispy?

First of all, housewives mention mustard seeds and horseradish leaves, which are important to put in the jar to get the desired result.

But it wouldn’t hurt to carry out one more procedure.

It consists of the following. First, you need to dissolve a glass of salt in five liters of water (boiling water) and put the vegetables in the solution. Then we put the cucumbers in cold water with ice.

Thanks to this stress, the cucumbers will turn out incredibly strong and crispy. Immediately after the "water procedures" you can start pickling the vegetables.
