How to preserve fried eggplants with garlic for the winter
First we will make a cold marinade. Combine water and all the spices listed above, except vinegar. Boil for 1 minute. Add vinegar to the boiling brine and quickly turn it off after boiling again. Let the marinade cool.
Next, wash the prepared eggplants and cut into circles, about 5 millimeters thick.
Cut the peeled garlic into slices.
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the chopped vegetables. We use sunflower oil. Cool the fried pieces.
Place the cooled blueberries and garlic loosely (otherwise they will lose their shape) into jars.
Pour in cold marinade, completely covering the vegetables.
After this, all that remains is to close the jars with nylon lids.
