Mustard cucumbers for winter storage
Description
Recipe for sauce at home. To prepare mustard cucumbers for winter, we will need dry mustard, fresh and crisp cucumbers, and jars (I used liter-sized ones). Three kilograms of cucumbers yield approximately 2 liters of pickled cucumbers. You can increase the quantity of ingredients if cooking for a larger family. The finished cucumbers go well with vodka. They are perfect served with pasta, meat, and vegetables.
