Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make beetroot salad for winter? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Please note that the recipe specifies the weight of unpeeled beets.
Step 2:
Peel and rinse the beets. Grate on a coarse grater or cut into strips.
Step 3:
Add all ingredients except vinegar. Mix well.
Step 4:
For stewing, take a bowl or saucepan in which all the ingredients will fit freely. I took a large pot. Put the beets in it and put it on medium heat. Wait until the vegetables give juice. To speed up the process, you can cover it with a lid. After boiling, simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove from the stove and pour vinegar, mix.
Step 5:
While the salad is stewing, prepare cans with a total volume of 1.5 liters. Wash and sterilize the jars well. I do it the following way. Gently pour boiling water into the bottom of the jar with a thin trickle, about a quarter of the volume. To prevent the jar from bursting, you can not get water on its walls. Then cover with a lid and leave for 10 minutes. After I drain the water and the jar can be used.
Step 6:
Spread the finished salad evenly over the jars and roll up the lids. After putting the jars on the lids, wrap them up and leave them to cool completely at room temperature, for about a day. Then store in a cellar or other cool room.
Remember that spices such as salt, sugar, as well as vinegar and its substitutes are used in recipes for winter preparations not only for taste, but primarily as preservatives. Therefore, in no case should you reduce the concentration of salt and sugar, and also replace vinegar (essence) with weaker concentrations than indicated in the recipe, otherwise vinegar (salt / sugar) will not show their preservative properties and the workpiece will be spoiled.
Follow the basic rules of conservation so that your billet is stored for a long time and without problems:
- wash vegetables thoroughly, even if you peel them
- remove any debris, dirt, earth from fruits and greenery
- get rid of rotten foods
- do not reduce the amount of preservatives and follow the tips described in the recipe
- sterilize empty cans (10 minutes - 0.5 liters; 15 minutes - 1 liter; 20 minutes - 2 liters; 25 minutes - 3 liters), boil the lids for 10 minutes
- when rolling up cans with a seaming machine, make sure that the lids fit tightly to the jar
- turn the jars upside down to check the quality of the twist
For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
Beet salad according to this recipe can be served as an independent dish and used as an ingredient in the preparation of others.
