I am happy to tell you how to make a delicious pickled assortment of different vegetables for the winter in my step-by-step recipe with photos.

So, you will need:

• cucumbers;
• tomatoes;
• carrot;
• zucchini;
• bell pepper;
• onion;
• garlic;
• cauliflower;
• dill umbrellas;
• horseradish leaves (if desired, can be replaced with currant and cherry leaves);
• bay leaves;
• black peppercorns.

For marinade per 3 liters of water:

• 3 tbsp. l. Sahara;
• 3 tbsp. l. salt;
• 3 tsp. vinegar essence or 180 ml of table vinegar (9%).

How to prepare assorted vegetables for the winter

First, prepare 3-liter jars. It is in them that it is most convenient to prepare assorted vegetables. Mine and sterilize.

Place peeled, prepared vegetables in jars in layers.

At the bottom we put a leaf of horseradish and dill umbrellas, garlic (3-4 small cloves), then onions (cut into rings), carrots (I also cut into rings), zucchini (peel and seeds, cut), cucumbers (if large, then also cut), bell pepper (into 4 parts), cauliflower (divided into inflorescences) and lastly tomatoes (pierce at the stalk so as not to crack).

Pour boiling water into the jars, cover with lids, and let stand for 5 minutes.

Drain the water into the pan. I use a special nylon lid with holes, but you can also use a metal one. Boil the water and pour it into the jars again for 5 minutes.

Pour the water into the pan a second time. Add sugar, salt, peppercorns (at the rate of 5-6 pieces per jar), bay leaf (3 pieces per jar). Bring the marinade to a boil. Quickly pour in vinegar or vinegar essence. Pour the hot marinade over the vegetables in jars, roll them up, turn them upside down and wrap them in a blanket or rug.

Leave it like this until it cools. Assorted vegetables marinated without sterilization is ready!

In winter it is served as a cold appetizer with any side dish, meat, or fish. Please your loved ones with a delicious “summer in a jar”!
