Step-by-step cooking of cucumbers in ketchup - a recipe for the winter
We prepare dishes and cucumbers as usual. Banks are thoroughly washed and sterilized. My cucumbers, cut off the edges on both sides. At the bottom of each jar we put an umbrella of dill, a clove of garlic, a bay leaf, a few grains of black and allspice. If you have your own preferences in the choice of spices and herbs for canning - be free and do not stick to my list, but use what you like. Perhaps you will choose cherry, oak, grape or currant leaves, sprigs of fresh dill or parsley, add mustard or cardamom seeds.
We put cucumbers in jars. These can be whole cucumbers (especially if they are neat, small in size) and cut into several pieces along or in kegs across. We fill the cans to the top.
Cooking the marinade. Pour ketchup into a saucepan, dilute it with water, add salt and sugar. Bring to a boil, pour in vinegar and boil for another 5 minutes.
Fill the cucumbers with red marinade, cover with lids. This recipe requires additional sterilization. Put a cotton towel in a pot with a wide bottom, fill it with warm water by about a third and put the jars in the water. Top up, if you need more water in the pan so that it does not slightly reach the convex top edge of the jar. We sterilize 10 minutes from the moment the water boils (time for liter cans).
We roll up the jars of cucumbers and turn them over, wrapping them in a warm blanket or jacket. Let it cool completely in this way, then put it away for storage.
Cucumbers in chili ketchup are ready for the winter. With potatoes, porridge or meat, they will appeal to both adults and children. Bon appetit and delicious twists and you!
