Summer has come and it's time for winter preparations.
Harvesting for the winter - Green peas

Among the most popular canned foods in winter are green peas, without which many everyday and holiday dishes are indispensable. To preserve green peas at home, you will not need many ingredients (based on one 0.5 liter jar):
  • peeled young peas – 350 gr.;
  • water;
  • salt – 1 tsp;
  • sugar – 2 tsp;
  • table vinegar 9% – 1 tbsp. l.

In case you buy peas in pods at the market: consumption per jar is 0.5 - 650 g. peas
Let's begin the process of preparation and preservation. We collect ripe peas from the garden or buy them at the market. We peel it, removing the overripe and spoiled ones. We rinse it well to remove debris.

Pour the washed peas into a saucepan, add water, bring to a boil over high heat and continue to simmer on low for 20 - 25 minutes. At the same time, collect foam (if it forms).
After the time has passed, remove the peas from the pan, using a slotted spoon (a large spoon with holes). We leave the water for sterilization.We put it in clean and dry jars, leaving about one centimeter short of the top. Then pour one teaspoon of salt and two of sugar on top. Add a tablespoon of vinegar, fill with warm water and send to sterilize.

To sterilize, you need to take a large saucepan that can accommodate several jars, cover its bottom with a towel (so that the jars do not jump or break when boiling) and place the jars covered with lids in it. Fill with water (up to the shoulders).

Sterilization requires a temperature above boiling, so we add salt to it (1 tbsp will be enough).
Bring to a boil and continue cooking for no more than 20 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the peas. If you are very young, then 15 minutes will be enough.
When ready, remove the jars and roll up the lids. Be sure to check if you rolled it up well. To do this, you need to turn the jar on its side and see if the brine is flowing out of it.

    Every year I can can green peas. At the dacha I always plant three beds with it. In winter, it’s a universal thing: I add it to salads and soups.

    Good recipe, but I think it would be better without vinegar. I add lemon, it also works well.
