How to pickle watermelons in jars for the winter

Having decided to prepare such a preparation, the first thing you should do is purchase a watermelon. If you got a not very mature pink specimen, it doesn’t matter. It's just right for marinating. So, wash the berries and cut them into neat slices. We cut off the crusts; we don’t need them, since they will take up too much of the required space in the jar.

Wash thoroughly and sterilize three-liter jars and lids. While the jars are being sterilized, prepare the marinade from water, sugar and salt. Add salt and sugar to boiling water and bring to a boil.

Carefully place the chopped watermelon slices in a jar. You need to lay it tightly enough, but do not crush the watermelon.

Fill the preparations with boiling marinade to the top, cover with an iron lid.

Place the jar in a large saucepan of boiling water and sterilize 15 minutes. Be sure to place a napkin on the bottom of the pan, on which the jar is placed.This is necessary to prevent the glass from breaking.

After the time has passed, remove the jar from the water bath, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar essence, roll it up, turn the jar upside down and wrap it in a warm blanket until it cools completely. All! Fast and tasty!

An amazing appetizer for the New Year's table is ready! Marinated watermelons canned according to this recipe are sweet and sour. If desired, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the marinade and increase the amount of salt. Then the watermelons will have a saltier taste.
