The list of recipes for Czech dishes would be incomplete if we do not recall canned preparations. Czech cucumbers are a favorite canning option in many Russian families, and in the Czech Republic they are still the main recipe.
The composition of the ingredients for the marinade per 1 liter jar:
. 750 ml water
. 3 tablespoons of vinegar (concentration 9%, 75-100 ml)
. 2 full tablespoons of table salt (or 2 heaped teaspoons)
. 3-4 tablespoons of granulated sugar
. A couple of medium sized bay leaves
. dill greens in umbrellas (2-3 large pieces - with legs and seeds)
. 5-10 dried black peppercorns
. pinch of mustard seeds
The composition of the main products for each liter jar:
. small cucumbers
. 2-3 medium sized bulbs (white or red)
. 1 medium carrot or 2 small ones
. horseradish
The cooking time will take about 1 hour.
The number of cucumbers is taken "by eye", since exactly as much will be used as it fits tightly into the jar. It is better to choose the smallest - gherkins, but medium cucumbers are also suitable. Even large cucumbers that can be cut into pieces will do, just not overripe. Sort the cucumbers, peel and wash, remove black pimples from the skin, cut off the tips.
Cut the onion into wide rings or quarter-rings, peel and cut the carrots the way you like: rings, long slices, cubes, you can use straws, but this is laborious and not entirely welcome in this recipe. Do the same with horseradish root. All vegetables are best cut in advance, before you start cooking the marinade. Greens and seasonings are also pre-prepared and put in a convenient place, so that later you can simply take and place them in jars.
Preservation can occur in two ways - with and without marinade preparation.
Method 1. With pre-marinade.
Put the water on the fire and put all the ingredients for the marinade that were described above, including vinegar, salt and sugar, into the pan. If you plan to wrap several cans, the amount of ingredients should be recalculated taking into account this volume, proportionally. Boil.
For example, a five-liter pot of water will require 500 ml of 9% vinegar, 100 g of salt and 300-350 g of sugar. The weight of sugar depends on how sweet cucumbers are loved in the family, but you can’t save too much on sugar, as it is a complete ingredient for the right marinade. Bay leaves for 5 liters will be enough 5 pieces, black peas - about 15-20 peas for such a volume, mustard seeds can be put as much as you want, but not more than a handful.
While the marinade is coming to a boil, arrange the cucumbers and other chopped vegetables in jars. Most often, this is done in layers: onions and horseradish from below, then carrots, and then the container is clogged with the required number of cucumbers to the limit so that the vegetables in the jar do not float. Naturally, all jars must first be thoroughly washed and steam sterilized.
As soon as the cucumbers are packed, and the marinade boiled and boiled for about five minutes, pour all the containers with hot marinade to the very top, cover with lids, and then sterilize in boiling water. Sterilization time is 30 minutes for 1 liter jars and 50 minutes for 2 and 3 liter jars. After that, the lids on the jars are tightly twisted.
Method 2. No pre-marinade.
We put spices in each sterilized jar: pepper, mustard seeds, bay leaf, dill. On top we lay chopped onions, horseradish and carrots (a little carrot can be set aside) in any order. Then tightly fill the jar with cucumbers, and stick the remains of the carrots that were set aside on top. Pour salt, sugar in the right proportions and, most importantly, vinegar on top. On top of all this, carefully pour boiling water to the very top.
Then we do everything as in the previous version: we cover with pre-boiled lids, sterilize the jars, roll them up tightly, immediately turn them over, wrap them up for about a day and take them to a cool place. Now there will be real Czech preservation in the bins, which not only looks beautiful, but will also be a great addition to the everyday or holiday table.

What is the difference between Czech-style pickled cucumbers and Russian-style fruits that are familiar to us? Yes, in general, then a little. They turn out to be just as tasty, crispy, mouth-watering and juicy as those pickles that we used to see on our winter table. So why did they get such a name? The reason is simple - this is how Czech ladies prepare cucumbers. This recipe will diversify your collection of winter marinades. Such cucumbers are suitable for making hodgepodge, pickle, vinaigrette, Olivier, Tartar and Tzatziki sauces, as well as many other delicious dishes. But, of course, the best way to use them is to use them on their own. After all, Czech cucumbers for the winter will perfectly complement meat, fish, complex side dishes and will be an excellent snack for strong alcoholic drinks.
Ingredients for two liter jars:
To prepare a delicious preparation, take pickled cucumbers. It is advisable to use dense fruits of small size. If the cucumbers are freshly picked - this is generally wonderful. Place the vegetables in a deep bowl and cover them with cold water. Leave the cucumbers in this state for at least 2 hours. Ideally, soak the vegetables in the evening so that they stand overnight. In this case, the cucumbers will get rid of the insignificant bitterness that they may contain, they will look fresher, and they will also crunch very appetizingly. You can cut the ponytails or leave - do as you like more.
Peel the shallots and rinse. If you do not have a vegetable of this variety, then replace it with ordinary onions.
Prepare two liter jars by washing them thoroughly with baking soda and then rinsing them. Cut dry or fresh dill into pieces with scissors.
From spicy spices, take allspice and cloves. They will give your workpiece an amazing aroma.
Cut the onions lengthwise into several pieces or chop into circles. Onion vegetables can be divided into slices.
Place the onion in the bottom of clean jars. In each container, add 1-2 laurels, a few cloves and allspice peas. Send dry or fresh dill to a container with onions and spices. Now fill the jars with pre-soaked and washed cucumbers, trying to stack them as tightly as possible.
Pour cold drinking water into jars with cucumbers, filling them to the very top.
Pour the measured amount of water into a saucepan. Add sugar and salt to it. Bring the marinade to a boil, then pour in the apple cider vinegar, and immediately remove the saucepan from the heat.
Fill jars with cucumbers with hot marinade, and cover them with clean lids. Place the container with the blanks in the pan, covering its bottom with a towel. Pour warm water into the container. The liquid should reach the necks of the jars. Send the pan to medium heat. Sterilize the blanks for 10-12 minutes from the moment the water boils.
Close hot jars tightly with lids. Turn the blanks upside down, wrap with a towel, and keep in this form until completely cooled.
Store Czech-style pickles in your pantry, basement, or cellar. You can appreciate the excellent taste of the workpiece in 2 weeks. Bon appetit!
For the marinade, pour water into a saucepan, add vinegar, sugar and salt (40 g indicated in the recipe), bring everything to a boil, then let cool to about 60 degrees. Pour the prepared marinade into the cucumbers, cover the container with a lid, leave the Spreewald cucumbers with thyme for 3 weeks.
Put the cucumbers tightly on the jars, pour in the hot marinade. Next, cucumbers marinated in Czech style with carrots are sterilized for 10-15 minutes, rolled up with lids, turned over and completely cooled in this state. You can eat cucumbers in a month.
Cover the jar with a lid, sterilize in boiling water for 15-20 minutes. Next, pickled cucumbers "Lemon" are rolled up with a lid and left at room temperature until cool.
After the time has elapsed, if necessary, add boiled brine to the jars (cold or hot), seal the jars hermetically with lids. If foam appears during fermentation, carefully remove it with a clean spoon.
You can store classic Russian-style pickles at room temperature.
Rinse, pour cucumbers with cold water overnight, then rinse again. Rinse, dry and chop greens coarsely.
Put half of the greens on the bottom of the pickling container or jar, then lay the cucumbers tightly, lay the remaining greens on top. Dilute salt in water, prepare a cold brine, pour cucumbers. Leave the cucumbers for 3-4 days at room temperature, drain the brine, bring it to a boil, pour over the cucumbers again. Immediately after pouring with brine, spicy pickles are hermetically sealed with lids, wrapped in a blanket and thus left to cool completely. Store cucumbers in a cool place.
