Preparations for the winter are the most important part of the summer season, because when there are no fresh fruits, vegetables and berries in the beds and shops, jam, compotes, salads and adzhiki from them will be able to slightly compensate for this loss. Therefore, in this article we will understand how the scallops will be salting for the winter, just rolling them into the banks.
Features of product selection
Given that pumpkins are fairly close relatives of pumpkins and zucchini, they can be prepared according to the same recipes, only with some nuances taken into account (for example, you should not wrap the cans after closing, but on the contrary - you should cool them as soon as possible).
Choosing ingredients for salting, you can not limit yourself, because canning recipes involve the use of almost any additional vegetables and even fruits. 
As for the recipe described now, then, in addition to the squash, which, by the way, can be both small and large, you only need fresh cherry leaves and horseradish leaves, and the other components will certainly be found in any kitchen.
Some housewives believe that excellent pickles are obtained only from young vegetables, but, as practice shows, you can use large specimens that need to be cut.
Pupons too over-matured really should not be used, as they have already managed to lose their specific taste. Also immediately reject vegetables with visible damage or symptoms of disease.
If you choose small patissonchiki, then try to make them all the same size, so that will look more aesthetically pleasing in banks.
Important! Peel from young vegetables is not cut off, and before spinning, they need only be well washed and cleaned of dirt, cutting off all the "problem" places.
What is needed?
Any cooking will require some knowledge from the hostess, but, in addition to this, an important task is the timely preparation of all the "cook tools". Let's find out what we need from the kitchen utensils and what should be prepared in addition to the squash. 
Kitchen appliances and utensils
After preparing the vegetables and spices, it remains to take care of the kitchen equipment, which is directly involved in the process of harvesting.
These tools include 2 large pots (one can be used for washing squash, and the second for preparing brine), tongs for pulling out hot cans, and, of course, a zakatochny key.
