I am worried that there is no salt, and the twists need to be done, asked for advice from a neighbor.

No matter how hard life is, conservation will not prepare itself. We usually roll cans of vegetables for the winter using salt. But the Ukrainian monopoly on the production of salt, the enterprise "Artemsol", was forced to stop working. So the price of salt skyrocketed. And in some places this usual spice is not found at all.



In connection with the resulting shortage, many people wonder: “How to make blanks for the winter without salt?” After all, it is a preservative necessary for the preparation of most twists from vegetables. Salt can almost always be replaced with other ingredients. And to confirm this, we collected in our article recipes for vegetable preparations without salt.

In fact, salt is the same preservative as vinegar, mustard, citric acid or honey. Like salt, all these ingredients can stop the development of bacteria in the workpieces. Therefore, the choice of preservative rather lies in the plane of personal taste preferences.



And thanks to the content of phytoncides and tannins, currant leaves, grapes, horseradish and cherries can also protect vegetables from spoilage.

As for cucumbers for the winter with mustard, then the choice is especially great. Sugar, vinegar, mustard, various seasonings ... Choose what you like best.



The ingredients

• 1 kg of small cucumbers
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1.5 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp dry mustard
• 2-4 cloves of garlic

Tomatoes in their own juice without tomato salt can be stored without salt due to the fact that they have enough of their own natural acid. But without sterilization here, of course, can not do.



The ingredients

• ripe
• parasol
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 2-3 peas of black pepper

Preparation

1. Cut the tomatoes into 2-4 pieces. Put it in clean sterile jars right away. Add peeled garlic, pepper and dill umbrellas. Earlier we talked about how to sterilize cans in the microwave.
2. Stack tight, but you don't have to. Keep in mind that when pouring all fruits should be covered with water. In a liter jar this way usually fits 600-650 grams of tomatoes.
3. Put the water on the gas and sterilize the lids for 10 minutes.
4. Boil and cool the water in advance. A liter jar will need about 500 ml of liquid.
5. Put water in the jars to the neck.
6. Cover cans of tomatoes with lids and place them in a wide pan. The bottom of the pan was pre-covered with a napkin. Fill it with warm water. Do not pour hot, as the banks may crack. Put it on the fire.
7. Wait for the pot to boil. Then take the time. Half-liter cans will need 12 minutes for sterilization, and liter cans - about 17 minutes.
8. After the specified time, take out the banks with forceps. Without removing the cover, immediately tighten. Turn it upside down and put it on the cloth to cool.
9. After a day, check the density of the closure.
   
   
   
10. If the sterilization was performed as described, then such a workpiece will be perfectly stored in the pantry of an ordinary apartment.
11. Bon appetit and new culinary discoveries!
