Vegetable mix is one of the most popular and “convenient” homemade preparations. Its convenience lies in the fact that for cooking you can choose any vegetables you want, and the marinade recipe and the processing method will be approximately the same. In any recipe, you can add something and remove something.

Instruction manual

Recipe number 1
For this recipe, select the smallest tomatoes, ripe, with hard skin and thick pulp. Clean the stalks and wash them thoroughly in cool running water. Wash the small cucumbers and put them in jars, and cut the larger ones into circles about 2 cm thick. Peel the onions, cut off the upper part, cut them into 4 parts. If the bulbs are very small, then they can be completely cut and not laid at all. Washed and peeled carrots cut into small circles. Take away leaves from cauliflower and divide it into inflorescences, wash. Rinse sweet peppers, clear of seeds, cut into small pieces. Stack the peeled garlic cloves whole.

Sterilize the jars. At the bottom of each, put a pair of black pepper peas and a couple of cloves. Combine the marinade ingredients, bring to a boil, remove from heat and cool to 70 degrees. Put vegetables in jars, fill with hot marinade and cover with lids. Sterilize the jars at a temperature of 100 degrees for 10 minutes, then tightly close and send for storage.

Recipe number 2
Rinse all vegetables thoroughly. Chop the cabbage finely, just like for starter culture. Finely chop green tomatoes. Peel the seeds, dip them in boiling water for a few minutes, and then cut them into strips. Cut the cucumbers into circles, and chop the peeled onions into small cubes. Mix all the vegetables.

Mix the ingredients for pouring, bring to a boil, remove from heat, cool slightly. Put spices on the bottom of the cans. Fill each jar with about a quarter of the fill, and then put the vegetables there so that the liquid completely covers them. Pasteurize the jars at a temperature of 90 degrees for 15-20 minutes, and then close or roll up. Remember, the larger the jars, the longer they need to be pasteurized.
