Pickled vegetable garden recipe. Vegetable garden salad for the winter: recipes, preparation for preservation. Features of preparing “Vegetable Garden in a Jar”

Homemade pickled cucumbers and tomatoes are the best appetizer for any feast; at least in Rus', from time immemorial, these vegetables have been present on the table, both festive and everyday. Agree, there is hardly a substitute for tomatoes, especially if these vegetables were pickled with your own hands.

The end of summer is the time to start preparing pickles. And today I offer my recipe for assorted vegetables without sterilization.

“Vegetable garden in a jar” for the winter: recipe with photos

To prepare the assortment you will need the following ingredients:

  • Tomatoes,
  • cucumbers,
  • Chilli,
  • Bulgarian pepper,
  • Garlic,
  • Bulb onions,
  • Dill.

Ingredients for marinade:

  • 1 liter of water,
  • 1 tbsp. l. salt,
  • 5 tbsp. l. Sahara,
  • 10 gr. peppercorns,
  • 3 bay leaves.

Assorted vegetables for the winter without sterilization: recipe

Wash the vegetables, trim the ends of the cucumbers, peel the peppers and garlic.

In clean liter jars, first place the tomatoes, then the cucumbers. Now add the bell pepper - about 1/4 of the fruit per jar. Next, add 2 cloves of garlic, half an onion, a small piece of hot pepper and dill. Please note that you do not need young dill; you should add the trunks and “umbrellas” of a mature plant.


Since we are preparing assorted vegetables without sterilization, the next step is treatment with boiling water. Pour boiling water into the jars and drain after a couple of minutes. Hot water will kill all germs and our assortment will be perfectly preserved for the winter.



Now pour the brine into the jars, then immediately add a teaspoon of acetic acid 70%.



Now you can close the jars with lids, which must be boiled in advance for 2-3 minutes. Screw the lids tightly; for convenience, you can put a towel on the lid and then screw it on. Turn the jars upside down and cover them with a warm cloth. When the assorted vegetables for the winter have cooled down without sterilization, you can take them out from under the “fur coat” and store them in a cool place (cellar or underground).



Now in winter you can treat yourself and your family with delicious pickled cucumbers and tomatoes. Enjoy!

And the tomatoes are already wrapped, but there are a couple of empty cans left? I propose to preserve an assortment of vegetables, that is, everything that has cropped up in the garden or almost everything. Hence the name “vegetable garden”.

In winter, you take out a jar of assorted vegetables, open it, and there are cucumbers for mom, tomatoes for dad, zucchini for the kids, all in one jar! It’s especially delicious with baked potatoes during Lent.

The recipe is very convenient because this mixed vegetable is rolled up without sterilization. Simple and very tasty. How colorful! I recommend!

Ingredients:

  • Cucumbers – 0.5 kg;
  • Tomatoes (dense) – 1 kg;
  • Zucchini – 0.5 kg;
  • Bell pepper – yellow, red;
  • Hot pepper - 1/3 pod;
  • Onions – 1-2 pcs.;
  • Garlic – 3 cloves;
  • Dill – 1 bunch;
  • Bay leaf – 2 leaves;
  • hot peppers – 10 pcs.
For the brine:
  • water – 1.5 l;
  • salt – 4 tablespoons (without top);
  • sugar – 4 tablespoons;
  • vinegar – 100 g.

Instructions:

The recipe for assorted vegetables is very simple, and most importantly there is no sterilization.

Soak vegetables collected in advance from the garden or purchased at the market in cold water for 10 - 20 minutes. Hot peppers should not be soaked.

Then cut the vegetables: zucchini into slices, cucumbers into strips, peppers into slices, onions into half rings or quarter rings.


Place a couple of sprigs of dill at the bottom of a three-liter jar; if you don’t have fresh dill, you can use dry dill. If you wish, you can add a leaf of horseradish and black currant, but I don’t have them at the moment.

Place the first layer of onion, washed and cut into half rings.

The second layer will be multi-colored bell peppers.

The third layer is zucchini cut into rings.

The fourth layer is whole tomatoes and a piece of hot capsicum (you can add more if desired).

The fifth layer is cucumbers (can be sliced).

And so we alternate until the top of the jar. On top we place garlic cloves, cut in half, peppercorns, bay leaves and cover with the rest of the dill.

The sequence can be changed if desired, the main thing is that the tomatoes do not burst from boiling water, place them in the middle.

If desired, you can also add cauliflower after boiling it for a couple of minutes.

Now we take an enamel bowl or saucepan, cover the bottom with a towel and put a jar in it, so that if somehow the jar bursts, you won’t get scalded. Pour boiling water, cover with a lid for preservation and leave to steam for 15-20 minutes.

After a while, remove the lid, put on a nylon lid with holes and carefully pour the water into the pan. Boil and pour for another 15 minutes, pour back into the saucepan.

This mix of ingredients is the guarantee that your preservation will be very successful: the vegetables complement each other perfectly in taste, and visually such a jar of assorted “Garden for the Winter” looks very appetizing.

It is this that is used when they want to prepare canned vegetables for the winter in the traditional way, and it is this that is another reason why such a “Vegetable Garden in a Jar for the Winter” turns out to be very, very tasty. Well, have I interested you? Canning assorted vegetables for the winter? Then my step-by-step recipe for “Winter vegetable gardens in jars” with photos is at your service!

Ingredients for 1 liter jar:

  • 400 g cucumbers;
  • 1-2 small tomatoes;
  • 1-2 small heads of onions;
  • 1-2 small squash;
  • 1\4-1\3 part of a small zucchini;
  • 25 g salt (1 half tablespoon);
  • 50 g 9% vinegar;
  • 450 ml water;
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic;
  • 1 dill umbrella;
  • 1-2 cm piece of horseradish root;
  • 4-5 cm piece of horseradish leaf;
  • 1 black currant leaf;
  • 1 cherry leaf;
  • 0.5–1 cm piece of hot pepper.

The total weight of vegetables per 1 liter jar is 600 grams.

Preserving assorted vegetables for the winter:

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut off both ends. Wash tomatoes, squash, zucchini. Peel the onion.

Thoroughly wash the dill, cherry, blackcurrant and horseradish leaves. Cut the horseradish leaves into pieces. We clean and wash the horseradish root. Cut it into pieces.

Peel and rinse the garlic. Wash the hot peppers and cut them into pieces.

At the bottom of the prepared jars we place black currant leaves, cherry leaves, half the required amount of horseradish leaves and half a dill umbrella. Add hot pepper, horseradish root and 3 cloves of garlic.

Then we tightly pack the cucumbers and other vegetables to the top, trying to leave as few voids as possible. On top we put 2 more cloves of garlic, a little dill and a horseradish leaf.

Prepare the marinade. Bring the calculated amount of water to a boil, add salt and stir until the crystals are completely dissolved. Pour vinegar into jars with vegetables, then fill to the top with boiling marinade.

Place the jars in a wide saucepan with the bottom lined with a napkin. Fill with warm water, not reaching a couple of centimeters to the neck of the jars, and put on fire. Over high heat, bring the water in the pan to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly so that it does not boil too vigorously, and sterilize for 10 minutes.

After sterilization, we remove the jars one by one from the water (it is convenient and safe to do this using special tongs) and immediately seal them hermetically - roll them up or screw them. Turn the jars with assorted winter vegetables upside down and leave them like that until they cool completely.

This assortment can be stored in jars for the winter at room temperature, but always in a dark place.

We choose only fresh cucumbers, with intact skin, and small in size. The same goes for other vegetables. If you are using very small vegetables for canning, you can place them in jars, not stacking them, but in bulk, while periodically shaking the jar for more dense packing. Small vegetables will require a little less marinade. If the vegetables are large, then the amount of marinade going into the jar will be slightly larger.

Let us remind you that last time we canned this

Vegetable Garden salad for the winter, the recipes for which we will consider, is an ideal option for diversifying your winter diet, since it can be prepared from any vegetables and combined differently in each jar.

Preparing for conservation

Vegetable selection

To preserve different vegetables in one jar, choose fruits of the same or different varieties. The same applies to the size - it can be different.

Vegetables that will be placed in a jar, such as zucchini, peppers, carrots, must be of the same degree of maturity, not soft and without obvious defects (cracks, dents, etc.).

Sterilization of jars

There are many ways to sterilize containers and lids before preservation, namely: in the oven, in a double boiler, in the microwave or using steam. You need to choose the most convenient and correct method. Take this issue seriously, because poor sterilization can cause the lids to swell; the jars may simply burst, or the prepared preserves may deteriorate and become unusable.

Putting vegetables in a jar

In order to place the maximum amount of vegetables in a jar, you need to first place whole fruits (large, then smaller ones), and fill the rest of the space with chopped vegetables.

Preparing the brine

There are many brine recipes depending on the type of preservation and choice of vegetables. To make the brine and, most importantly, remain transparent, you need to add finely chopped pieces of peeled horseradish root to it.

  9. Pour boiling water into the jars to the top and leave for 15 minutes, then drain the water and fill the jars with boiling water (new) again for another 10-15 minutes. Drain.
  10. Pour water for the marinade into the pan, add pepper, salt and sugar, stir and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add vinegar and pour the marinade into jars.
  11. Roll up the jars with pre-sterilized lids, turn them upside down, cover with a blanket and allow time to cool. When the jars have cooled completely, move them to a cool, dark place for storage.

We also suggest watching the video recipe for the dish (the list of ingredients is slightly different from the recipe proposed above).

Pre-filling with boiling water twice replaces the sterilization of jars. Sometimes they don’t bother with water, but use the marinade right away (pour it in, let it sit for a few minutes, drain it, boil the marinade again, etc.). Canning is well rolled up and stored. Another thing is that this is not as simple a process as it seems: sometimes it is much easier to sterilize empty jars than to handle full, hot ones.

Bon appetit!
