Squash without sterilization

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to pickle squash without sterilization? Prepare all the necessary products. Any squash is suitable: different varieties, both large and small. But it’s the small ones of different colors that will look most beautiful in a jar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the squash, dry it, remove the stalks. Cut large fruits into several pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   Boil water in a saucepan, add squash.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cook for about 7 minutes after boiling.

5. STEP 5

   

   While the squash is cooking, prepare the marinade. Mix water, salt, sugar and vinegar. The recipe uses table vinegar 6-9%. If you have vinegar essence, dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:8. Mix well so that the salt and sugar dissolve.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I pour some water into the jars and put them in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. But you can also sterilize the jars in the oven at 100 degrees for about 30 minutes or simply hold them over steam. It is enough to boil the lids for 5 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place umbrellas or dill seeds in jars.

8. STEP 8

   

   A clove of garlic. If you wish, you can add some other spices and seasonings: bay leaf, allspice, chili pepper.

9. STEP 9

   

   Fill the jars with squash.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour brine on top up to the shoulders.

11. STEP 11

    

    And fill it up to the neck with the boiling water in which the squash was cooked.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cover tightly with lids or roll using a machine. This product does not require sterilization and is perfectly stored without refrigeration.

13. STEP 13

    

    In winter, this preparation will be to your taste. Bon appetit!

I read that pickled squash tastes like milk mushrooms. I decided to make a test sample of squash for the winter. I asked my neighbor for some squash to prepare. I really wanted to try squash like milk mushrooms in winter. It turned out to be very easy to prepare squash without sterilization for the winter. I cut the vegetables into 4 parts and boiled them. I made the marinade as described in the recipe. I sterilized the jar with boiling water, which is more familiar to me. I put the spices in a jar. As recommended by the author, I added peppercorns and bay leaves. I put the boiled squash in a jar. I filled it with marinade. To be on the safe side, I sterilized the squash in boiling water for 15 minutes. We are really looking forward to the moment when we can try how these squash taste like milk mushrooms. The preparation is very beautiful, fragrant and simple. Many thanks to the author for the recipe!

I don’t understand a bit... Should you add the brine separately from the water in which you boiled?
