Many gourmets simply adore crispy pickled cucumbers.
But how do you get the vegetables to the right consistency?
It turns out there's a secret ingredient that makes it crunchy.
The secret of perfect pickles was shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
What to put in a jar when pickling cucumbers
That very saving additive is tarragon. Another name is tarragon.
To make the cucumbers crispy, when pickling them in a glass container, you need to ask for a couple of leaves of the above-mentioned plant.
Thanks to this ingredient, vegetables will acquire not only a “crunch”, but also a pleasant taste note.
What to do if there is no tarragon
Of course, not every summer resident has access to this plant.
However, don't worry if you don't have access to tarragon.
There are two ideal replacements: cherries and black currants.
The leaf blades of these garden crops are sources of tannins, which will protect the pickles from becoming too soft.
