Salted zucchini

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare crispy salted zucchini without vinegar for the winter without sterilizing in jars? Prepare all the necessary products. Take small, thin-skinned, young zucchini. Both white squash and zucchini will do. If you have zucchini or yellow squash, I recommend being sure to peel them by cutting the skin thinly with a vegetable peeler. Still, the skin of these types of zucchini is quite thick. Wash the dill umbrellas and horseradish leaves well.

2. STEP 2

   

   If you have young zucchini, then you don’t have to peel them - just cut off the stalk and be sure to wash them well. Cut the zucchini into circles about 5 mm thick. If you have a thick zucchini, cutting it into half circles will do. Make sure that the zucchini does not have large seeds, in which case they will need to be removed!

3. STEP 3

   

   For pickling, take a fairly deep pan. Place zucchini in it. Also add garlic cloves according to your taste.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then add the dill umbrellas.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place a horseradish leaf into the pan. According to your taste, you can add some of your favorite herbs or seasonings: allspice, bay leaf, chili pepper and other spicy herbs to your taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   For brine, boil water with salt at the rate of 2 tablespoons of salt per 1 liter of water.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour brine over the spiced zucchini.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover the pan with a lid or plate, place a weight and leave to salt for two days.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then pour the brine into a separate container and discard the herbs.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I pour water into jars and put them in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. You can also hold the jars over steam or sterilize them in the oven at 100 degrees for 20 minutes. Boil the lids for 5 minutes. How to calculate the required number of cans, as well as other interesting information about preservation, read the article about blanks, the link is at the end of the recipe.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place zucchini in sterilized jars.

12. STEP 12

    

    Bring the drained brine to a boil.

13. STEP 13

    

    Pour boiling brine over the zucchini.

14. STEP 14

    

    Close the jars tightly with screw caps or roll up using a machine. Turn the jars upside down and leave until completely cool. Sterilization is not required; it is advisable to store the workpiece in a cool place.

15. STEP 15

    

    These zucchini can be served as an appetizer or used in salads. Bon appetit!
