Rules for preparing cucumber salads in mustard dressing for the winter

The variety of cucumbers does not matter for this type of winter harvesting. Vegetables for salad are not used whole, but cut into pieces. It is necessary to ensure that the fruits are not overripe. Old cucumbers will have to be peeled and seeds cut out, their flesh will be hard, it will take more time to cook, and for a salad with mustard dressing this is undesirable, because the product will lose some of its nutrients.Another feature of overripe fruits is that acid appears in the taste, which does not have the best effect on the quality of the product.

To make a salad with mustard dressing tasty and long-lasting, there are several tips for canning:

1. For processing, only fresh vegetables without rotten areas or mechanical damage are used.
2. Cucumbers for salad for the winter are taken small or medium-sized, freshly picked. If the purchased fruits are not elastic enough, I immerse them in cold water for 2-3 hours, during which time the cucumbers will completely restore turgor and retain their density in the preparation.
3. Well-washed vegetables are used for processing. Medium fruits are cut in accordance with the salad recipe, and larger ones are cut smaller so that they do not remain raw during the time provided for by the technology.
4. Jars for storing for the winter are washed with baking soda, rinsed, then sterilized in any convenient way.
5. The lids are lowered into a pan of water so that the liquid covers the surface, and boil for several minutes.

Glass containers for the preparation are used with a volume of up to 1 liter. Opened salad is not stored for a long time, because mold appears on the surface and the product loses its nutritional value. For an average family of 4 people, the optimal container volume is 500-700 ml.

A 700 ml container will contain approximately 1.3 kg of vegetables, the amount depends on the size of the cut according to the recipe. Take ground black or allspice pepper, you will need about 1 tsp. on the jar. Spices in the salad are not limited to the recipe; you can exclude them completely or add something of your own. The main thing in salad technology is the heat treatment time and maintaining the proportions of salt, sugar and preservative (vinegar).
