There are several ways to do this:
- all vegetables and herbs should be perfectly washed
- exact proportions must be followed
- salt for canning should be iodized
- brine should be boiled twice and vinegar should be poured in only in the last turn
- jars should be sterile and lids are required only of good quality and without damage.
- the key must be in good working order so as not to damage the jars.
Reasons why brine may turn white:
1. Breach of airtightness
Poor lids can be the cause of white scaling on the cucumbers.

2. Non-sterile foods and jars
If you wash your cucumbers and canning jars poorly, bacteria will start to multiply inside the jars and the cucumbers will have a white brine.
3. Improper storage conditions
Cucumbers should be stored in a warm, cool place, as well as at room temperature, but not more than 3 days.
