Midsummer is the time when gardeners and summer residents begin to "reap" the fruits of their labor. We offer several recipes useful for this time

Lightly salted cucumbers

The first lightly salted cucumbers, which can be cooked in a 3-liter jar, bucket or saucepan, cause special delight in the summer. To prepare them, take young green cucumbers, shift them with spices (garlic, dill, cherry leaves, bay leaves, horseradish, etc.) and pour 5% boiled and cooled salt solution. After 1-2 days, the cucumbers spread a unique aroma and are ready to eat.

Young potatoes in sour cream
