The taste of homemade preserves largely depends on the quality of the brine, so it is extremely important to do everything correctly.
Various ingredients can be added to the pickle brine to improve the taste and add crunch.
However, the most important condition is to meet the basic requirements, which include the correct proportions of salt and sugar.
What is the optimal amount of ingredients to make a quality pickle brine?
How much salt should I take?
This component can be called the most important, since it affects not only the taste of vegetables, but also ensures the safety of the product.
As a rule, for one and a half liters of brine itself (for a large jar) it is customary to take 80 grams of salt.
If the fruits are large in size, the amount of salt can be increased slightly.
How much sugar will be needed?
Sugar is simply necessary to improve the taste of cucumbers. With its help, vegetables turn out ideal. It is customary to take about ten grams of sugar per kilogram of product.
This will be enough to prepare an excellent brine.
