For plum adjika you need:
- ripe plum 2 kg;

How to properly make twists for the winter
Properly prepared jars are the guarantee that the preservation will last as long as you need.
Preparing jars involves sterilizing them. This kills excess microorganisms, which means the products will remain of good quality and will bring all their vitamins to the table.
First of all, the jars need to be washed thoroughly. You can do it in the usual way - with a sponge and any detergent. But some housewives prefer to wash cans of soda before twisting. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with clean water. You can sterilize jars in the following ways:
- Pour boiling water over the jar, then place it on the boiling kettle. You can use a special lid with a hole and a regular pan.
- Pour boiling water into the jar, pour it out and repeat the procedure. Leave the boiling water in the container for a couple of minutes.
- Place the container in the oven. Then light the gas and preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Without extinguishing the fire, keep the jars in it for 20 minutes.
- Place wet jars in the microwave. Turn on maximum power and dry the container.
Iron lids are rolled up with a special machine. Popularly called a key. You can purchase it at any chain grocery store. To properly close the workpieces with iron lids, use the following tips:
- pour the preserved food into the prepared jar;
- cover the top with a boiled lid;
- place the machine on top;
- carefully turn the handle of the machine clockwise;
- At the same time, carefully twisting the handle, this is done to gently compress the lid - this way the sealing will be complete.
Check to see if the container is screwed tightly. To do this, simply tilt the container with the lid down. If you hear gurgling or liquid starts oozing through the lid, you need to redo it.
It is best to place freshly closed jars on the floor, lid down. Wrap them in unnecessary rags, preferably overnight. In the morning, the jars should be placed on the bottom and taken to the cellar. It should be dark and cool. If this is not possible, store away from heating elements.

8. Tomatoes in “Simply Class” marinade (no sterilization required).
We offer you another option for preparing tomatoes, which is in no way inferior to the previous one.
Recipe:
First of all, the tomatoes need to be washed very thoroughly and the stalk carefully cut out. If you do this carefully, the tomatoes will not burst when you pour the marinade, but even if they burst, it’s okay, this way they will be able to soak in the brine even better. You will need to place one clove of garlic in each tomato.
In order to prepare the brine, you will need a liter of water, 2 tbsp. salt and about 6 tablespoons of sugar. After that, add all the seasonings and simmer for 15 minutes. The tomatoes will turn out tasty and juicy on their own, just with garlic. But to add a special aroma and taste, it is recommended to add cloves. Then drain the water from the tomatoes and immediately fill them with freshly prepared brine. You need to add a spoonful of vinegar to each jar. All that remains is to roll up the jars and close them with a sterilized lid. At the very end, you can wrap it in a towel, or better yet, a thick blanket and leave it to cool.

All of the above recipes are not that difficult to implement and will require a little effort on your part.
And finally, I would like to focus on important points that you need to remember when making homemade preparations.
What is important to know about conservation
The main points to rely on:
The most important point in preservation is to ensure the sealing of the jars. Glass jars with rubberized lids are best suited for these purposes.
The second important condition for the preparation to be successful is the sterilization of the jar in which the products will be stored. It is best to boil the jars along with their lids in water and add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar or citric acid. And then dry it upside down. It is important to sterilize all the tools that, one way or another, will be involved in cooking, and these are forks, spoons, etc.
It is necessary to select jars of the same height so that they do not come into contact with each other or with the walls of the pan.
It is necessary to pack food for preservation into the jar as tightly as possible, and fill it with brines and marinades to the very edges. If there is no free space in the jar, the chance that it will explode over time is significantly reduced.
To prevent already cut fruits and vegetables from darkening before they are processed, they can be placed in acidified water.
With a few exceptions, vegetables are generally pasteurized for 90 minutes at a temperature of 90 degrees. The time spent on pasteurization can be reduced if the vegetables are cooked in advance.
If, after the vegetables have cooled, they darken, this indicates insufficient preservation of the marinade. The product may not last for a long time and then it is recommended to use it first.
To keep your canning vegetables fresh and crispy, you need to ensure there is enough salt and you can add a little fresh horseradish.
Fruit acid, which is usually released during storage, can corrode the metal lid, therefore, it is best to close jars with rubber with rubber ones.
Of course, ready-made preserves must be placed upside down and left for a day. Afterwards, make sure again that it is sealed and then put it in a dry, dark place.
Perhaps this is the most important thing that every housewife who decides to stock up on supplies for the winter should know and remember. The recipes will certainly inspire you to take care of the presence of vitamins on your winter table in advance.
I once thought that blanks were not my thing. But having tried to make some homemade preparations for the winter with my own hands, I was amazed at how tasty it was. I don’t know if my assessment is objective, but for some reason it seems to me that my salted tomatoes and my pickled cucumbers are the most delicious. There must be some kind of magic at work here. Which, by the way, I owe to this site. With the advent of the section “Homemade preparations for the winter,” I managed to overcome my prejudice towards preparations. I remember well from childhood the pictures of a full bath of cucumbers, rows of jars, which for some reason were boiled empty in huge pans, after which it was strictly forbidden to approach them within a cannon shot. All these realities of homemade preparations: basins with gurgling syrup, a tired mother’s figure bent over a giant basket of butter. In general, when I grew up, I decided for myself: “No, no preparations!”
But everything flows and everything changes, and so, starting with instant cabbage, I, unnoticed by myself, reached jam and confitures. Now I make jam too. And I am happy to share with you my mother’s recipes for homemade preparations for the winter. Everything she makes is delicious and beautiful. So enjoy both the process and tea drinking on long winter evenings.
