It is necessary to think in advance about places for storing workpieces. This could be a dark pantry or loggia. For these purposes, ready-made cabinets are used or a special storage system is made. The shelves should be strong, and the height between them should be sufficient to accommodate cans of different sizes. In the absence of special places, the workpieces are stored even under the bed.

Attention! Do not store blanks in the bathroom, toilet, near radiators or in hard-to-reach niches.

Periodically, once a month, it is necessary to check the banks. Make sure the lids are not bulging, the marinade is the same clarity, and there is no mold on top. In an apartment, such preparations can be stored for up to 7 months, after which they lose their taste and benefits.

Cooking tips

The main advice for preparation is to maintain cleanliness and sterility:

• jars are washed with baking soda and sterilized by steam, oven or microwave;
• the lids must be boiled;
• vegetables are washed and soaked;
• Wash the greens thoroughly.

Do not use old screw caps.They may be damaged, which will lead to damage to the workpieces.

Attention! Cut cucumbers are not combined with watermelon, melon, or other berries and fruits. If you want to add other ingredients to them, it is better to opt for cherry tomatoes or bell peppers.
