If you don’t want to face these scenes when you open the pickles jar, let me tell you a few tips!
If you make pickled cucumbers by yourself at home, make sure that the brine completely covers the surface of the pickles.
You can place a suitable weight like a glass jar filled with a few stones to make it heavy on top of the cucumbers to keep them submerged in the brine and prevent them from floating to the surface.
The concentration of the brine should be appropriate.
For example, you can add 2 to 3 tablespoons of salt for every liter of water, and you can even help the pickles last longer by adding half a cup of vinegar per liter of brine.
Remember to close the pickle jar lid completely and store it in a cool place after the pickles are ready.
Following these few simple tips will help your pickled cucumbers last longer.
