Many housewives know that the most delicious pickled cucumbers are firm and crispy fruits.
Unfortunately, there is a certain category of ingredients that are best avoided when preparing this wonderful dish.
For example, it is better not to add exotic types of salt, including iodized and sea salt – it is better to take table or rock salt.
It is also not recommended to use acetic acid, but if you prefer this ingredient, it is important to carefully monitor the dosages.
What ingredients are best not to add to the jar when making pickles?
It is not recommended to add:
- Leaves of oak, horseradish, currant or other plants. It is important to understand that these leaves have a certain set of properties.
- Onions. You can add them only if you have a certain variety – not every option will do. It’s better to choose an onion that is stored for the winter.
- Garlic. It can make the cucumber cloudy and watery. If you like garlic, add no more than four cloves per 3-liter jar.
