Have you ever wished you could enjoy the crisp, refreshing taste of cucumbers all winter long? Well, thanks to a friend from Georgia, I discovered a delightful recipe that allows you to do just that – without the need for pickling! It’s a simple yet ingenious method that will have you savoring the flavors of summer even on the coldest of days.
In Georgia, where preserving the bounty of summer is a time-honored tradition, my friend introduced me to this unique way of preserving cucumbers. Instead of pickling them in vinegar, she showed me how to prepare them in tazas, or ceramic jars, using a method that retains their fresh taste and crunchy texture.
Here’s how it’s done:
Ingredients:
Fresh cucumbers, preferably small and firm
Salt
Water
Instructions:
Begin by thoroughly washing the cucumbers to remove any dirt or debris. Trim off the ends, but leave the skin intact for added flavor and texture.
In a large bowl, dissolve salt in water to create a brine. The exact ratio of salt to water will depend on your personal preference, but a good rule of thumb is to use about 1-2 tablespoons of salt per quart of water.
