For real housewives, no summer is complete without preparing preserves for the winter. It is always very budget-friendly and tasty. But, as for cucumbers, not all fruits are suitable for making twists.
The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you which cucumbers are not suitable for canning. There are several nuances that you should pay special attention to.
Which cucumbers are definitely not suitable for canning
Cucumbers with a very large seed chamber are best used for salads. But they are definitely not suitable for canning. The fruits will become very soft from the marinade and will definitely not be crispy.
Wilted fruits
If the cucumbers do not have firmness, you will not get tasty preserves. So use only fresh fruit.
Very large cucumbers
Large cucumbers have thick skin and many seeds. If you preserve such cucumbers, it will not taste good. Choose medium-sized or even smaller fruits for your twists.
Damaged cucumbers
Cucumbers that are bruised or starting to spoil should never be canned. There is a risk of bacteria spreading and the jar may explode. Or, due to prolonged storage, the twist will simply spoil.
Cucumbers with smooth skin
Canned cucumbers that have bubbles will be the most delicious. This means that the fruit will be juicy and firm. Use the smooth-skinned vegetables to prepare other dishes.
