Recipes for canned and sauerkraut for the winter on the Internet have a huge number of variations and cooking methods. So I decided to collect the best things to hide in jars from all the recipes in this article. After all, few people would want to transfer products year after year in order to find that very recipe that will make your mouth water.
There are two main ways to preserve cabbage for the winter. All of them, to some extent, are aimed at preserving all the usefulness of your favorite vegetable. But it also gives a good taste.
The first and most famous method is sauerkraut.
Dense heads of cabbage, preferably late varieties, are ideal for this. Cabbage is fermented due to the fermentation of the brine juice released from the cabbage. Cabbage properly prepared in this way is stored for a very long time and is practically not afraid of any spoilage if properly stored. Sauerkraut should be stored at a temperature of two to four degrees, sealed in jars.
The second method that comes to our aid for preserving cabbage is pickling.
When pickling, a marinade is used, often obtained by mixing water, vinegar, flavor enhancers and sunflower oil. The cabbage is salted, kneaded and mixed as desired with other vegetables, the type of which depends on the recipe. The prepared mixture of cabbage and vegetables is poured with marinade, sterilized and preserved in jars, preferably under tin lids.
In winter, you don’t always have fresh cabbage on hand to cook delicious homemade borscht. This is where the preparation for borscht comes in handy. It is prepared quite simply:
We will need tomatoes to prepare tomato juice. Actually, we cut the tomatoes into slices and put them through either a meat grinder or a juicer. Whichever is more convenient for you. Bring the resulting juice to a boil and add some salt.
Cut the cabbage and pepper into strips. The greens must be chopped.
Add cabbage and pepper to the boiling water and bring to a boil. Don't forget to stir. After boiling, let it cook for ten minutes, after which we add chopped herbs and pour in vinegar. All the ingredients together need to simmer for about five more minutes.
Pour the finished product hot into sterile and dry jars and screw on the lids.
You will need:
There is nothing complicated in cooking. We cut the cabbage into thin strips and chop the carrots on a grater. Add one to the other and mix. Just be careful, don’t crease. There is no need for extra juice in this version.
Now we need brine. And it is prepared in the following way: we boil water and add spices to it. After boiling, add vinegar and leave to cool.
Place the cabbage and carrots in pre-sterilized three-liter jars and fill with cooled brine. We put two acetyl tablets in each jar. All that remains is to properly roll up the jars and send them to the cellar.
Do you want to get things done for the winter as quickly as possible? Then you can roll up a couple of jars of pickled cabbage without bothering with sterilization.
You will need:
So, we need to peel the cabbage, rinse under cold water and cut into strips. We rub the peeled carrots on a regular grater. We also cut the bell peppers into strips. We clean the onion and cut it into feathers or half rings. Mix all the resulting cuts and place them in ready-made jars.
For the marinade, heat the water, and as soon as it boils, pour it over the cabbage. Let the cabbage stand in the water for ten to fifteen minutes. Afterwards, we drain the water from the jars back to where we boiled everything and again bring it to a vigorous boil, and again give the cabbage a hot bath.
The third time we drain the water from the cabbage, we add salt, sugar and lastly vinegar. Before pouring this boiling mixture into jars, first add bay leaf and allspice.
Well, now we roll up our food under the lids and hide it under something warm to warm up. As soon as the jars have cooled down, we immediately take them into the cool. Our next delicious cabbage salad is ready for winter storage.
How about adding new colors and a slightly sweet taste to this delicious, crispy treat?
To do this, let's take:
And so, we need to cut the cabbage into large pieces. For example, triangles five by five centimeters. Although, if you wish, you can cut the cabbage in the classic way - into strips.
We cut the beets into strips, you can also grate them. Cut the garlic cloves into several parts. Mix all the cuttings and put them in a three-liter jar.
Now let's prepare the marinade. Fill the pan with water, dissolve the required proportions of sugar and salt in it, add bay leaves and peppercorns. Boil our marinade for no more than ten minutes. Then let it cool a little and pour it into jars. Let the cabbage cool and put it in the refrigerator.
Sometimes it happens that you want to crunch delicious pickled cabbage, but you’re too lazy to chop whole kilograms of it. Here is a recipe for this case that will save you from tedious cutting.
Let's take:
We peel and wash the cabbage, cut it into layers five to six centimeters thick, then cut them into pyramid-shaped pieces. We put them in a jar.
The marinade is similar to the previous ones. Salt the water, dissolve the sugar, pour in the vinegar. We throw allspice and black peppercorns, as well as dill seeds, into the jar.
Fill everything with marinade and send it to sterilize for about forty minutes. Then we roll the cans under tin lids and wrap them in a blanket.
You need:
We clean the cabbage from the top dirty and withered leaves, cut it in half and remove the stalk. Cut the cabbage into thin strips. Then we put bay leaf and pepper on the bottom of the jar, and put cabbage on top. Jars must have a threaded neck.
Well, where would we be without marinade? To create it, as usual, dilute salt and sugar in water, add vinegar. Bring the resulting mixture to a boil and let cool completely.
Pour marinade over our cabbage and cover with lids. You should not twist it, as juice will come out of the jar during the fermentation process. Also because of this, it is necessary to put the jar of cabbage in some kind of bowl so that the juice does not flow where it is not needed. We leave our cabbage in this form for up to four days, at the most normal temperature.
After the required amount of time has passed, sterilize the jars of cabbage. Each jar is about half an hour.
Now tighten the screw caps tightly, turn the jars upside down and send them to gradually cool under a warm blanket.
This is a simple canning of kaputa under iron lids, which will allow you to enjoy the cabbage literally a couple of days after twisting.
It is often customary to preserve late varieties of cabbage, since it is denser and has a more pronounced taste. However, there are ways to preserve early cabbage just as tasty. Yes, and it needs to go somewhere.
So, here are the necessary ingredients:
We cut the cabbage into large pieces; this option is the most optimal for preserving the crunch of early cabbage.
Place bay leaf and peppercorns on the bottom of a sterilized jar. Place the cabbage on top and compact it a little.
To obtain the marinade, stir sugar and salt in boiling water and add vinegar. Let it cool a little, as the boiling water may cause the jars to crack.
As soon as the marinade has cooled, pour it over the cabbage. Immediately twist the cabbage under the lids and wrap them upside down under the blanket.
