Pickled squash

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make marinated squash for the winter? Choose small-sized fruits, you can take a little grown, but strong, which can be cut into beautiful slices, these, in my opinion, turn out even tastier. Small fruits have a milky ripeness, not quite pronounced density; they wither faster when removed from jars. I found multi-colored squash on the market, up to 10 cm in size. Read about the intricacies of winter preparations in the article below the steps.

2. STEP 2

   

   I washed the squash well with a sponge and cut it into slices, removing the place at the stalk and on the back side where the flower was: it often gets wet in these vegetables and gives rise to rot.

3. STEP 3

   

   The jars need to be sterilized and the lids boiled. At the bottom of a sterile jar, place peeled cloves of garlic (you don’t need to remove the lower outer scales, just cut large cloves in half), blackcurrant and cherry leaves, peppercorns; spicy lovers can add a piece of hot pepper, a bay leaf.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then you need to lay the squash slices as tightly as possible - in cut form this is not difficult to do, selecting the edges and placing them more conveniently.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place dill on top in the space between the fruits, pour boiling water over the jars for 5 minutes. The flesh of squash is denser than that of zucchini, so you can fill it twice, so they will be softer.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then pour the water from the jars into a saucepan, add salt, sugar and citric acid, boil again and fill the jars to the top, overflowing, and close immediately.

7. STEP 7

   

   That's all! Our squash will remain under a fur coat until it cools completely, and then sent for storage in the basement or subfloor. They are stored perfectly in indoor conditions for up to 1 year. Maybe more, but it is recommended to store canned vegetables more.

I happened to have small squash, so I decided to marinate them. I found a suitable recipe on the site, the main thing is that without sterilization). I steamed two half-liter jars and boiled the lids. I put the squash into jars and added cherry and blackcurrant leaves, garlic, allspice and bay leaves. Judging by the set of spices, marinated squash for the winter will turn out very tasty and aromatic! I poured boiling water twice with an interval of 15 minutes. Squash love sterility, so you need to roll it up quickly and carefully. I liked the recipe, it is simple and straightforward!

Thanks to the author for the recipe. This is my first year growing squash. I didn't know what to do with them. I found the right recipe. Only I close it by sterilizing the vegetables (dipped it in boiling water for 5 seconds and quickly transferred it to a jar). I poured it with hot marinade, and then followed the standard. Now in winter there will be a piece of summer on the table. I'm keeping the recipe in my piggy bank.
