There are several main methods that allow you to preserve vegetables yourself:

When the amount of sugar increases to 50-60%, all microbes will gradually stop developing and begin to die. Therefore, all products preserved by this method are stored for a long time.
• Pickling. When using this technique, you will have to use vinegar liquid, which is considered the ideal preservative component. Even a small amount of vinegar is enough to cleanse foods of dangerous microorganisms. During pickling, vinegar is added at the final stage of the snack preparation, when the cooked vegetables have already been placed in jars in which the pickled food will be stored.
