What mistakes should you be aware of?
Harvesting
Many people can home-grown cucumbers, but in this case it is important to remember the rules for harvesting. Take small and strong cucumbers, which should be collected in cool weather.
But in hot weather, the idea of harvesting should be abandoned.
Washing
It is important to remember that the cucumbers must be perfectly clean. If dirt or soil remains, the cucumbers will become soft. This is also the reason why the jars may "explode".
Technique
Sometimes we cook without a recipe. We may add insufficient salt or vinegar. Or we simply forget to add horseradish leaves and other ingredients.
Therefore, it is better to cook according to the recipe.
