Directions

  1. We add 4 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of calcium chloride to an empty 1 kg milk container, then add water until the container is full, which creates the desired solution. ≈ 3 min
  2. Next, the vegetables are placed in jars and submerged in a saline solution, ensuring that all the fruits are completely immersed. ≈ 3 min
  3. The containers are then left at room temperature for a period of two to three weeks. ≈ 3 min
  4. It is possible to eliminate mold that appears on the surface of the vinegar by applying a thin layer of oil paint to the surface of the saline solution. ≈ 3 min
  5. This helps to block the air needed for the growth of these mold species. ≈ 3 min
  6. Regarding the canned cucumber, it is possible to pierce the skin of the fruit with a knife to prevent the formation of gas inside. ≈ 3 min
