  • Vegetables and fruits intended for seaming or pickling are thoroughly washed in cold running water. We pre-soak the cucumbers so that all the dirt comes off, and then wash them. We change the water several times.
  • The washed vegetables should be dry from the water, only after that we put them in sterile jars. How to sterilize jars, lids and blanks is described in detail in this article.
  • To prepare brines, we use regular rock salt. Iodized salt or EXTRA salt is not suitable for seaming.
  • The time for sterilization of preparations depends not only on the volume of the jar, but also on the vegetable itself, therefore we strictly adhere to the specified sterilization time.
  • We place the rolled up jar with the lid down; the hot contents of the jar additionally “sterilize” the lid and neck of the jar.
  • It should be remembered that wrapping the seams prolongs the sterilization time. Therefore, cucumbers, zucchini, and tomatoes that are sterilized in boiling water are usually not wrapped to prevent them from being overcooked.
  • Winter preparations that are boiled over a fire and then rolled up without sterilization are usually well wrapped, thereby prolonging the heat treatment.
  • Sealings should be stored in a cool place away from radiators and heating devices. Hitting straight sun rays is also not advisable.
  • Any roll will be much tastier if it is cooled in the refrigerator before serving.
  • To make the rolled cucumbers crunchy, open the jar in advance, add a couple of chopped garlic cloves, some fresh herbs, and be sure to cool it in the refrigerator.
  • Freshly rolled up jars should not be opened out of curiosity; they still haven’t brewed yet, haven’t been saturated with salt and spices. Only after standing on the shelf for several months do they acquire their final taste.

The last notes

There are many ways to prepare plums for the winter. I prefer to store plums in the freezer. When frozen, the taste, appearance of the product and vitamins are preserved. Frozen plums in syrup are most often used by me for baby food, preparing desserts and drinks. Children who often eat poorly eat this preparation with pleasure.
