To prepare watermelons, you can take any varieties: “Astrakhan” and “Ogonyok”... the main thing is that they are not overripe.

For a three-liter jar you will need about 2-2.5 kg of watermelon, 90 grams of vinegar, and about 1.5 liters of marinade.

Marinade for watermelons is prepared in the proportion per liter of water: 1 tbsp. salt, 2 tbsp. l. Sahara.

And how to preserve watermelons for the winter.

First, you need to wash them thoroughly and dry them.

It is very convenient if the watermelons are small in size. Then they can be cut in circles into small pieces, which can be conveniently placed in a clean, sterilized jar. But large berries (after all, watermelon is a berry) can be cut into convenient cubes, of which quite a lot will fit in a jar.

Now you need to prepare a simple marinade for watermelons. To do this, boil water, add salt, sugar, stir until completely dissolved and pour in the watermelons placed in jars. Please note that the marinade does not need to be poured to the very edge; it is necessary to leave room for the vinegar, which we will add after the heat treatment of the jars.

Cover the preparations with lids and set to pasteurize for 10 minutes from boiling.

After this, remove the jar from the pan, add vinegar and roll it up with a key. Turn it upside down and wrap it in a blanket for a day.

The recipe is easy, storage is simple - in the pantry at room temperature.
