Cucumbers are usually canned in vinegar marinades, but there are recipes that demonstrate the combination of these vegetables with tomato filling when harvesting for the winter. One of these recipes will be presented later.
How to prepare cucumbers and other ingredients
Almost all cucumber fruits, even overripe ones, for which it is enough to remove the yellow peel and hard seeds inside, are suitable for this type of canning for the winter period. All other vegetables should be thoroughly washed, freed from the tips and cut into pieces.
