If your pickles are soft, you may not be preserving them correctly.
We'll tell you which ingredient you add to make canned cucumbers soft.
What should not be added when preserving cucumbers
Experts strongly advise against adding a lot of garlic when preserving cucumbers.
It is the excess of garlic that is the main reason why pickles become soft.
This does not mean that you should completely give up garlic, but you should never add too much of it.
For a three-liter jar of cucumbers, two or three cloves of garlic are enough.
Then the cucumbers will be both aromatic and crispy. Also, adding cherry and oak leaves helps make the cucumbers crispy.
