Making zucchini squash
We wash the fruits of the zucchini, cut the tails and peel. This can be done using a special knife for slicing slices. Cut the zucchini into large cubes.
We clear garlic of waste and grind with a knife / garlic.
We prepare marinade: in a separate container, mix water with sunflower oil, garlic, ground pepper, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil and pour vinegar.
Pour the sliced zucchini with a hot marinade, send it to the ring and wait until it starts to boil.
After that, cook the vegetables for 15-20 minutes on low heat.
We prepare containers in which we will roll our zucchini. It is best to take half or one liter jars. We sterilize them as you wish: boiling water or steam. Pour sealed lids with boiling water and forget about them for 10 minutes, so that they are steamed. Then we lay out the finished hot snack in jars and roll up the lids. Turn the lids down and cover with a warm blanket.
When the preservation has completely cooled, we remove it in the basement or a cool pantry.
