Many housewives mistakenly believe that any type of cucumber is equally suitable for canning.
However, the quality of the preservation is directly affected by the quality of the raw materials you use for it.
Let's figure out which fruits are best avoided in order to fully enjoy crispy pickled cucumbers in winter.
Which cucumbers cannot be preserved
If you are used to canning fruits that are not suitable for food due to their unsightly appearance, it is better to give up this idea.
Overripe and bitter cucumbers may retain poor taste even after canning. And if you decide to work with hooked cucumbers, then it will be simply extremely difficult for you to wash them properly from sand.
It is also worth abandoning the idea of using fruits with damaged skin. No one can guarantee that such cucumbers have not become a breeding ground for bacteria, which can eventually lead to swelling of the jar.
But young fruits with characteristic black dots are just perfect for preserving.
