Pickled cucumbers are a very practical way of preparing vegetables for the winter. As a rule, they are prepared without vinegar, which makes them juicy, crisp and firm. Plus, they're even healthier.

One of the culinary blogs (vitala_foodblog) on Instagram published a recipe for sour cucumbers with a secret ingredient, which is flour. Thus, the cucumbers do not go sour and are perfectly stored.

Ingredients:

Bottom of jar:

• dill umbrella
• horseradish leaves
• garlic - a few cloves
• bay leaves

In a jar:

• salt - 3 tbsp.
