How to roll cucumbers in tomato juice for the winter

We need:

Cucumbers - 2 kg (we weigh after preparation!)
Tomato juice - 1 liter (about 1.2-1.3 tomatoes)
Ingredients for marinade for 1 liter of juice:
Salt - 1 tbsp. spoon (with/without slide to taste)
Sugar - 1-2 tbsp. spoon (to taste for sweetness)
Table vinegar, 9% - 1 tbsp. spoon
Dill - 1 sprig per jar

Optional ingredients to taste:

Pickling set of leaves - horseradish, cherry, oak, dill umbrellas. Based on 1 piece. each type for 1 jar.
Likewise garlic - 3-4 cloves
Hot pepper - 1 pc. 5-8 cm long per 1 liter jar.

Important details:

Yield from 2 kg of vegetables - about 3.5 liters of blanks.
We give the proportions of the marinade with a reserve. Rough calculation: you need 2 times less juice, than cucumbers. For example, if there are 1 kg of vegetables, that means 450-500 ml of tomato juice.
Juice can be replaced with a mixture of water and tomato paste. For 1 liter of water - 150 g of paste, or 5-6 tablespoons. You will get cucumbers in tomato. The same awesome recipe, but as easy as possible to prepare.
Shape of cucumbers - to taste. You can cut it into circles about 1 cm thick. You can leave it whole, especially if small vegetables that fit completely into selected containers will be used for rolling.
It is convenient for us to seal cucumbers in tomatoes in jars up to 1 liter.
If you are afraid of the preparations exploding, increase the amount of vinegar. For 1 liter of filling, add 1.5 tablespoons of vinegar (9%). In our experience, this should be done only in two cases. When you use very large cucumbers whole. Or choose large containers (3 liter jars).

Let's prepare the main characters.

We wash, but do not clean, we cut off the ends. It is advisable to soak the cucumbers for at least 1 hour in cold water before marinating.

We wash the greens that we will use in running water and thoroughly shake off the moisture.

Let's fill the jars.

Place a leaf of the selected herb at the bottom of the jars. This can be just a sprig of dill, or 1 leaf from the classic set of herbs for pickling, where a horseradish leaf is required. Here we also add washed small hot peppers - whole, without cutting or peeling.

If using garlic, cut the cloves in half lengthwise and place them on the bottom as well.

Place the cucumbers tightly, regardless of the cut. The circles are neatly flat, filling the entire volume of the jar.

When we roll up the vegetables whole, we place the first row vertically, as tightly as possible. If there is room for a second level, how will it fit in? You can cut the cucumbers in half, lengthwise or crosswise.

Let's prepare the marinade using tomato juice.

How to prepare juice using a meat grinder and a sieve. Wash the tomatoes, cut off the sandpaper and “substandard” elements from the skin and cut into 4 parts. Grind the tomatoes into a meat grinder.

Transfer the tomato mixture into a saucepan, heat and let simmer over moderate heat for 5 minutes. We rub the hot tomato liquid through a fine sieve (up to 2 mm). Be careful! Use a cup or ladle to pour the liquid into a sieve, so you don't have to hold a heavy pot of boiling liquid in your hands. There will be little waste.

Return the lightened liquid to the pan. Let it boil and reduce the heat to medium. Add salt, sugar and stir well until completely dissolved. Cook the juice over moderate heat for up to 5 minutes. If a lot of foam forms, remove with a colander.

Consider 2 nuances.

For the most intense tomato taste, it is beneficial to add 1 tbsp per 1 liter of juice. spoon of tomato paste. We do this with sugar and salt at the same time.
You can make tomato juice using any usual technology. For the marinade, the main thing is to let it boil, completely dissolve the additives and boil briefly just before pouring the vegetables.

Fill the seams with marinade, sterilize and close for the winter.

After boiling the salted juice for 5 minutes, pour vinegar into it and remove from heat. Hot tomato marinade fill jars filled with cucumbers.

Cover the jars with lids and place them in a large saucepan to sterilize (with a kitchen towel on the bottom). Sterilization time:

500-750 ml - 10-12 minutes.
From 800 ml to 1 liter - 15 minutes.

We take the jars out of the pan and roll them up for long-term storage. Turn it upside down and let it cool, covering it with a blanket.

After a day, we put it in a dark cupboard or try a lightly salted savory snack, having cooled it in the refrigerator in advance. Cucumbers in tomato juice are pleasing to the eye, crunchy and fragrant - an awesome recipe!

One of the popular preparations is cucumbers in tomatoes for the winter. I offer you an awesome recipe according to which you can prepare the best cucumbers in tomato paste. In fact, the cooking technology is simple.

In a nutshell, cucumbers are cut into slices, rings, wedges or barrels, or used whole. Filled with tomato-based sauce or natural tomato juice. Next, they are boiled on the stove and then rolled into jars.

Cucumbers in tomato sauce

Let's prepare crispy cucumbers in tomato paste sauce. For this we need the following ingredients:

cucumbers – 2 kg;
garlic - to taste;
onion - to taste;
dill sprigs;
filling.

For filling:

water – 1 l;
tomato paste – 150 g;
sugar – 1 tbsp. l.;
salt – 1 tbsp. l.;
vinegar - 2 tbsp. l.;
black pepper - a pinch.

How to cook:

First we do the filling. Take a small amount of water and dissolve the tomato paste in it. Then add the remaining water to the mixture, also sugar, vinegar, black pepper and salt. Mix everything well. Place on the fire, bring to a boil, then boil for another 15 minutes. Taste the sauce; if there is not enough salt, add, or, if it seems too salty, dilute with a small amount of water.

Meanwhile, prepare the cucumbers: wash them, cut off the tops and cut them into slices. Take the freshest cucumbers that have not been stale. If you come across very small ones, you don’t have to cut them, but put them in whole. Then cut the onion and garlic.

Place a sprig of dill, onion, garlic at the bottom of clean jars and then add cucumbers. Pour tomato sauce over the cucumbers, which is still boiling. Cover the jars with a lid.

Place jars of cucumbers in tomato sauce in a saucepan to sterilize. It is advisable to lay some kind of cloth or gauze on the bottom of the pan so that the jars do not slip and it is better to place them in already boiling water. Our cucumbers are sterilized for about 20 minutes.

After this, take out the jars, turn them upside down, wrap them in a towel and leave them to cool. Afterwards we put it away for storage.

This year, however, as always, a good harvest of cucumbers and tomatoes grew at our dacha. Therefore, I would like to offer another option for preparing cucumbers. I recommend replacing tomato paste with juice.

Let's start cooking. What to do and how to do it – I’ll explain everything step by step.

Cucumbers in tomato juice for the winter

Ingredients:

cucumbers – 5 kg;
tomato juice from fresh tomatoes – 3 l;
sugar – 8 tbsp. l.;
salt – 4 tbsp. l.;
vinegar – 200 g;
garlic – 2 heads;
dry dill - to taste;
horseradish leaves or root.

Preparation:

Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly and start cooking.

Cut off the tops of the cucumbers on both sides; they will not be needed. Next, cut the cucumbers into 2-3 cm pieces. If your cucumbers are young and small, you can not cut them, but put them whole or cut them into rings.

We cut the tomatoes into arbitrary pieces and pass them through a meat grinder. Peel the garlic, wash the horseradish with dill.

Place horseradish leaf, dill and garlic into clean jars. Fold the cucumbers as evenly as possible.

Preparing tomato juice. Bring the tomatoes to a boil in a saucepan, then cook for about 20 minutes. Next, it is best to strain, otherwise the seeds will only interfere with the juice. You should get 3 liters of juice. Put the juice on the fire again, add salt and sugar. Then add vinegar 5 minutes before the end of cooking.

For 5 jars of cucumbers we need about 3 liters of tomato juice. And if you get more cucumbers, immediately prepare more, about 6 liters.

Pour the tomato juice into jars and cover with a lid.

Preparing cucumbers in tomatoes is one of the simplest ways to obtain aromatic snacks for the winter. The dish will be appropriate for an ordinary and festive feast. It is eaten in different ways - in its pure form with bread, as a seasoning for first and second courses, or as a snack for alcoholic drinks. The taste of pickling cucumbers in tomato juice is simply magnificent. The most common ways to prepare it is to add whole or sliced vegetables to the salad.

Tomatoes - 2.5 kg;
Cucumbers - 1 kg;
Salt and sugar - to taste;
Garlic, spices - optional;
Table vinegar - 1 spoon per jar.

To prepare tomato juice, you can take ripe tomatoes, even if they are slightly crushed or spoiled. Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, trim off any excess, remove the skin and make tomato juice. To make it easier to peel the tomatoes, you can put them in a double boiler for a few minutes.

If you don’t have a double boiler at hand, put the tomatoes in boiling water, hold for two or three minutes and immediately cool under cold running water. You can make juice in a juicer, grate the tomatoes or use a meat grinder.

The resulting juice must be boiled well so that it stops foaming. Strain out the seeds if necessary. Soak prepared medium-sized cucumbers in cold water for several hours.

Wash the prepared cucumbers well again and cut off the tails.

After this, you need to put the cucumbers in jars - place them approximately to the middle of the jar, leaving enough space for the juice.

Boil tomato juice, then pour it over the cucumbers.

Please note that before preparing this preparation, you need to very well sterilize the jars and lids with which you will roll them. Cover the cucumbers with lids and leave for 15-20 minutes, after which the juice should be poured back into the pan.

Cook the juice with the addition of salt and sugar, you can add ground garlic and black allspice. We usually add vinegar directly to jars, but you can also add it to hot juice. You need a little vinegar - try so that the juice is not too sour. Usually one teaspoon is used per liter jar of the product.

Pour the boiling juice over the cucumbers, immediately roll them up and turn them over. Be sure to wrap the jars in a warm towel or blanket so that the jars cool gradually. According to the recipe for pickling cucumbers in tomato juice, the cucumbers are crispy and have a unique tomato taste.

Recipe 2: pickled cucumbers in tomato juice for the winter

fresh cucumbers 0.5 kg,
tomato juice - 0.5 kg,
fine table salt 1 tbsp. spoon,
sugar - 3 tablespoons,
dill, parsley, horseradish leaf, 1 pc.
chilli pepper (optional),
1 head of garlic,
3-4 cherry leaves,
3-4 pcs black currant leaves,
2-3 pcs. bay leaf,
2-3 fragrant cloves,
8-10 black peppercorns.
4-6 allspice peas

For this recipe for preparing cucumbers in tomato juice, fresh green, just picked cucumbers of small sizes and the same elongated shape are selected. Pour selected cucumbers with cold water for several hours.

In the meantime, prepare the jars, wash them thoroughly, no need to sterilize. We wash all the spices, that is, dill, parsley, horseradish leaves, cherry leaves, black currant leaves, hot peppers, bay leaves, peel the garlic (if desired, cut large cloves in half).

Now we are preparing to prepare tomato juice. We wash the tomatoes, divide them into parts and pass them through a meat grinder, pour the prepared juice into a saucepan and put on low heat, let it simmer (I usually take fleshy tomatoes to make the juice thick, but this is optional). All this preparation will take some time. And just this time will be enough for cucumbers that settle in water. You may ask why keep cucumbers in water for pickling for the winter? And in order for them to be saturated with moisture, this will not lead to fermentation of already rolled cucumbers in tomato juice. Then, after removing them from the water, rinse them thoroughly with running, cold water.

Place 1/3 of the spices on the bottom of the jar (that is, two or three sprigs of dill and parsley, 2-3 black peppercorns, 1 allspice clove, cut the horseradish leaves into large pieces, throw some on the bottom of the jar, one currant leaf, one bay leaf, cherry leaf, chopped garlic, two or three slices of chopped capsicum, add it as desired, depending on what kind of spiciness you like), and then fill half the jar with cucumbers, I stack all the cucumbers standing, tightly next to each other, cut off the butts, then again the above layer of all the spices, then again the oranges and so on until the jar is full. Spices in the quantities I indicated, it is better to put only three layers in jars so that there is no overdosing with spices.

Then pour boiling water over the cucumbers, do this very slowly, in small portions, so that the jar does not burst, and to warm the bottom and walls of the jar, cover with a lid and leave for 10 minutes. At this time, add salt and sugar to tomato juice to taste, I add 1 tablespoon of salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar per 1 liter of juice, let it simmer slowly.

Drain the water from the cucumbers and put it back on the fire, and after boiling, pour the cucumbers again and leave for 10 minutes, covering with a lid. Drain the water very carefully so as not to get burned. Now the most important thing is that our preserves do not ferment; we add 1 aspirin tablet to a liter jar of preserves, i.e. acetylsalicylic acid (it must be crushed), which, in addition to everything, makes our pickled cucumbers in tomato juice crispy. And it completely preserves your preservation, without any sterilization. There will be no smell or taste from one tablet, believe me. If you do not want to use aspirin tablets, you can add half a teaspoon of citric acid per 1 liter of preserved food.

Then we pour the cucumbers with tomato juice, in which sugar and salt have already dissolved. I advise you to make tomato juice yourself, you will be confident in the naturalness of your preservation.

We roll up jars of pickled cucumbers in tomato juice for the winter. Turn them upside down and let them cool. To cool them down more slowly, wrap them in a blanket and leave them like that overnight. Store jars in a cool place (pantry, basement).

Recipe 3: pickles in tomato juice

Bring it to a boil and dissolve the salt in it. Cool. Fill the jar with juice, cover with a nylon lid and put in a dark, cool place.

Pickles cooked in tomato juice should be stored in a cool place - a cellar or refrigerator. It is best to use natural juice, squeezed from tomatoes.

A delicious version of a winter salad of crispy cucumbers with sweet peppers in a sweet and sour tomato sauce.

Cucumbers - 2 kg.
Tomato juice - 700 ml.

Sweet and sour cucumbers in tomato juice

This delicious salad in a spicy dressing needs to be sterilized. According to the recipe we will need:

2 kg of cucumbers;
700 ml tomato juice;
2 pcs. salad pepper;
4 cloves of garlic;
60 g salt;
30 g sugar.

Cooking steps:

First, I pass the lettuce and garlic through a meat grinder.
I cut the cucumbers into slices and place them in jars, alternating with the garlic-pepper mixture.
I boil the prepared tomato juice, adding salt and sugar.
I pour tomato sauce into jars with cucumbers.
I sterilize for 20 minutes, roll up and put away to cool.

In winter, just open such a jar and a delicious snack is ready.

Note to the housewife: canning is an interesting and responsible process. You need to choose and prepare the cucumbers correctly. I always look for vegetables that are dense and small. I don’t use rotten, diseased or spoiled ones. I roll gherkins of approximately the same size into one jar. I pre-soak them for at least 3-4 hours, sometimes overnight, to make them more elastic.

Pickled cucumbers in tomato juice

According to this recipe, I close the cucumbers for the winter, without using either vinegar or citric acid. First I ferment them, and only then I seal them. This pickling of cucumbers takes several days, so it cannot be said that this is a simple recipe, but the lack of preservatives makes it attractive.

At the first stage, I prepare hot pickled cucumbers. The pickling recipe is as follows: for a 3 liter jar I take:

Cucumbers (as many will fit);
100 g salt;
30 g of sugar per one and a half liters of water;
A leaf of currant, horseradish, cherry, an umbrella of dill;
A couple of cloves of garlic.

First, I put cucumbers with spices in a jar, add salt and sugar and pour boiling water over them. I cover loosely with plastic lids. First, foam will appear on the surface; I remove it with a clean spoon. During the fermentation process, lactic acid appears in the brine, which gives vegetables a unique taste, promotes long-term storage and preserves the beneficial properties of the product. The brine will become cloudy after 3-5 days, and there will be a persistent smell of oxidation. This is normal, this is how it should be.
The cucumbers are “ripe”, I wash them directly in the jar, shaking them and removing the plaque. I drain the water, boil it and return it to the container with vegetables twice.
You have learned how to pickle cucumbers, now it’s time to move on to the second stage of preparing the pickle.
I prepare tomato juice, add a little sugar, salt and sweet pepper to it (this is optional). Instead of brine, I fill jars of cucumbers with boiling tomato sauce. I roll it under the iron lid.

Note to the housewife: you should not forget that the taste of the finished tomato juice deteriorates if you use low-quality tomatoes. They should be meaty and juicy. It is acceptable to take damaged, wrinkled fruits. I reject tomatoes that are rotten or not fully ripe.

Cucumber salad in tomato juice without sterilization

I use recipes for sliced cucumbers in tomato juice for the winter when vegetables of a standard size or shape are available. For example, too large overgrowths, or crooked specimens. Vegetables prepared exactly according to the recipe delight you with the piquant taste of garlic and the slight sourness of the finished dish. We will need:

1.25 kg of cucumbers;
650 g tomatoes;
50 g garlic;
60 g sugar;
20 g salt;
45 g vinegar.

Step by step recipe:

I cut the cucumbers into medium-sized pieces.
I prepare tomato juice, add salt and sugar to it.
I combine the vegetables with the tomato mixture and let it brew for about an hour.
I put the mixture on low heat and boil for 5 minutes after boiling.
At the end of cooking, add pieces of garlic and vinegar.
I place the finished mass into pre-sterilized and heated liter jars and seal them. I turn it upside down and put it under a fur coat to cool.

Advice: the treasured jar is closed, the preservation is ready. After this, I first carefully check that the lid is tightly tightened and does not leak air. Then I turn the jar upside down and place it out of the reach of children and animals. Be sure to cover with something thick until it cools completely. After a few days I put it away in a cool, dark place. The shelf life of canned cucumbers in tomato juice is no more than two years under optimal conditions.

This video shows the entire cooking process in detail.

Cucumbers in tomato juice slices

Coriander gives it a specific sour-sweet taste.

2.5 kg of cucumbers;
1.5 kg of tomatoes;
Half a glass of vegetable oil;
1 tbsp. spoons of chopped garlic;
75 ml 6% vinegar;
125 g sugar;
30 g salt;
1.5 g ground black pepper;
A small pinch of coriander.

Now I will tell you how to pickle vegetables according to this recipe:

I cut cucumbers into medium-sized slices.
Mix well and leave to brew for several hours, adding a spoonful of salt, sugar and vegetable oil. So that they are well saturated with their juice, I sometimes stir the mixture.
I prepare tomato paste with the remaining salt and boil it for 10 minutes.
Boil the cucumbers in the marinade for several minutes, adding spices and garlic. At the end of cooking, add vegetable oil and vinegar.
I fill the cucumbers with tomato juice and put half-liter jars to sterilize for 10 minutes (if the container is liter, then the time is a little longer - 15 minutes).
I seal it and turn it over to cool.

I definitely prepare this awesome recipe for cucumbers in tomato juice for the winter, I like it because of the special spicy taste of coriander.

Note to the housewife: to prepare cucumbers in jars, you must use some kind of preservative. Most often they take vinegar. Please note that it comes in 6% and 9%, the dose is adjusted depending on the type. Instead of vinegar, citric acid or vinegar essence is sometimes used. When pickled cucumbers are prepared, ordinary non-iodized salt is used as a preservative. In this case, lactic acid is independently produced during the fermentation process.

Another serious issue is the preparation of equipment. How to ensure that the lids do not swell and the products are of high quality? To do this, I wash the container with soda and sterilize it for about 10 minutes in the oven at a temperature of about 220 degrees. Before taking the jars out, I let them cool for a few minutes, making sure to use a dry towel to prevent the glass from breaking. Before using, I always boil the lids for preservation for 7-8 minutes and dry them.
