Sorrel in jars for the winter without sterilization

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make sorrel in jars for the winter without sterilization? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Sorrel should be freshly harvested, not sluggish and not spoiled.

2. Step 2:

   

   Go through the sorrel. Remove the stems, leaves eaten by insects, and remove the grass that could get with sorrel. Carefully inspect the back of the leaves. Insects like to lay eggs there, be careful. Wash the leaves thoroughly in several waters so that sand and earth do not get together with the leaves.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash small cans with baking soda and sterilize in any way convenient for you. I usually use a microwave oven. I pour some water into the jars and place them on the turntable in the microwave and warm them up for 3 minutes at the highest speed. Just make sure that the water does not boil off during sterilization. Take out the cans and drain the water. Boil the iron lids in water for 5 minutes. Lower the nylon ones into boiling water for 20-30 seconds.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cut the washed sorrel and fill the jars tightly with it to the very top.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put salt in cold water and stir until completely dissolved. Take large and non-iodized salt.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour vinegar into the water and mix again.

8. Step 7:

   

   Fill the jars with the resulting solution to the very top. Take a clean knife and pierce the sorrel so that the air comes out of the cans. Pour in more saline solution if necessary.

9. Step 8:

   

   Roll up the jars with lids and leave at room temperature for two days.

10. Step 9:

    

    Then put the jars in a cold place. It can be a refrigerator or a cellar for storing preservation. If the lids on your cans are swollen, throw away the contents without regret, otherwise you may get poisoned.

11. Step 10:

    

    Before using the workpiece, drain the liquid from the jar. Just keep in mind that sorrel is already salty, so salt the soup or other dish from it to taste after cooking. Bon appetit!
