Squash caviar with tomatoes for the winter - general principles of cooking
To get high-quality canned squash from caviar with tomatoes, you should not only strictly observe the proportions of ingredients indicated in the recipe, but also follow certain rules and guidelines for the preservation of the product.
Vegetable harvesting and caviar cooking process:
• To prepare caviar from zucchini, freshly harvested or non-durable vegetables are selected. Sluggish, putrid fruits are not recommended for use, even if damaged areas can be removed.
• Courgettes are rinsed under cold water with a scourer or brush. It is good to use for these purposes a new clean sponge for washing dishes. Cut the ends and cut off the skin, cut along into pieces, and then perform the cutting specified in the recipe. The tender peel of young zucchini can not be removed, the more mature should choose the seeds.
• Carrots, onions are washed under running water, cleaned and rinsed again.
• After washing, the stalks are removed from the peppers, the seed box is removed, and then the remains of the seeds are washed off under the tap.
• Greens are sorted, removing damaged, wilted twigs, wash, shake off excess water and dry, spreading out on a towel.
• Salt and sugar are usually poured in a small amount, stirred, if necessary, the desired component is poured.
• Long stewing caviar, makes it tastier and thicker.
Preparation of cans, lids:
• For seaming it is recommended to use glass jars of half-liter volume or liter. Capacities can be not only new, it is possible to use banks from under last year's roll-in. The main thing is that the dishes should be without visible cracks and scratches on the neck. Cracked jars can burst when laying out and sterilizing the finished product. Shcherbinki will not allow hermetically close the jar and it will “explode”. • Metal lacquered lids with rubber seals are considered to be the most suitable for preservation for the winter. “Twist-off” covers are becoming popular today, but under such covers special threaded cans are needed.
• Banks and covers should be washed and degreased well before use. It is not recommended to use degreasing chemicals for washing, it is enough to wash the containers and lids with baking soda or household 72% soap in hot water, and rinse well, removing detergent residues.
• It is recommended to pack caviar in sterile jars, and filled containers should be pasteurized, while half a liter is heated approximately 20-25 minutes, liter forty minutes, not bringing the boiling point of water to 100 degrees. Optimally - 90 degrees.
• Covers before boiling are boiled for ten minutes, dried and only after that are used.
• It is possible to close the cooked caviar with boiled nylon caps. The disadvantage of such a billet is that you have to store the jars at a low temperature in the refrigerator, and the shelf life is much less.
