Mistakes made during pickling, as well as improper storage of closed jars, can lead to the pickles becoming very soft.
Additionally, vegetables may lose their crispiness if stored in an open jar for a long time.
Is it possible to save cucumbers that are no longer crunchy?
If the pickles haven't gone bad, then it's quite possible to achieve the desired result.
What to do with cucumbers
Just yesterday the cucumbers were crispy, but today the vegetables stored in an open jar are soft?
Don't rush to throw this food away! First, make sure it hasn't gone bad.
If everything is fine with the vegetables, and their softness is the only problem, then it is worth carrying out one simple procedure to return the vegetables to their ideal consistency.
You need to pour the cucumbers into a colander (so that the brine drains) and cover them with a large number of ice cubes. Leave the vegetables in this form for 20 minutes.
The result of the "ice treatment" will most likely be the return of crunch to the pickles.
But there is an important point: this consistency will not last long. Therefore, pickles should be eaten immediately.
