Zucchini Preserves
Description
A simple way to prepare ahead for later. 1. Start with the vegetables. Wash them thoroughly and pat them dry a little. Cut into medium cubes. 2. Prepare the jars (about 3 small ones or 1 large), and sterilize them together with the lids. 3. Place spices on the bottom. In this zucchini canning recipe, allspice and cloves are used, but you can choose whatever you like. 4. Pack the zucchini into the jars, filling them to the very top. 5. To make the marinade, combine salt, sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl. Add water and hot sauce. You can use chili ketchup, for example. Put the saucepan on the heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally so the sugar and salt dissolve well. 6. Pour the boiling marinade into the jars. 7. Homemade zucchini preserves must be sterilized. To do this, place the jars, with the lids loosely on, in a pot of water, bring to a boil, and process for about 15–20 minutes over medium heat. 8. Now you can seal the lids and wrap the jars, turning them upside down. That’s an interesting way to make zucchini preserves. Your winter stash is ready.
