Pickled zucchini slices for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to marinate zucchini for the winter? Prepare the necessary products according to the list. Zucchini is desirable to take young, dense, with a thin skin. You can change the set of spices to suit your preferences. I have 6% wine vinegar, but it can be replaced with 9% table vinegar (there is a calculator for calculating the amount of vinegar in the list of ingredients).

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the zucchini well, dry it and cut into thin circles (0.5-0.7 cm thick). You can not remove the skin from young vegetables.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sterilize glass jars of a suitable size, put a few peas of pepper on the bottom of each. Boil the lids separately (if they are metal).

4. Step 4:

   

   Put on the bottom of the jars also: a clove, a bay leaf. Fill the hatem with sliced zucchini slices to the top.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the prepared zucchini in jars with boiling water with overflow and cover with sterile lids. Soak for 3-5 minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Drain the water from the jars with zucchini into a saucepan and add salt and sugar to it. Bring the marinade to a boil, turn off the stove and pour vinegar into the marinade. Mix it up.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour boiling marinade into the blanks in jars. Pour the marinade over the shoulders so that there are no empty spaces left in the jars.

9. Step 8:

   

   Immediately tighten the jars with sterile lids.
