Freezing. Before freezing, soak the stalks briefly in water with added salt. This will help the worms and bugs that are hidden inside to come out. After the soaking procedure, wash the inflorescences thoroughly under running water, dry them on a towel, package them in bags, release the air, bandage them, and put them in the freezer. You can also blanch the inflorescences in acidified water (dilute a couple of teaspoons of citric acid in 3 liters of water). Let them sit for about 3 minutes, transfer them to a colander, let the water drain, and place them in bags.

Drying. Disassemble the cabbage heads, cut off the stems as much as possible, leaving only a couple of centimeters. Cut large inflorescences into pieces. Rinse them under running water, blanch them in boiling water for 3 minutes, leave them to drain, and then place them on the surface of a baking sheet.

Most often, tomatoes and peppers are added to curly inflorescences during preservation - they harmonize very well in taste. And if you don’t want to make rolls, just freeze the cabbage pieces. I also wrote below how to do this correctly.

Although you don’t see this product on our tables so often, I still advise you to eat it regularly. I won’t list all the benefits of cauliflower. I will only say that it is mega useful, it contains a huge amount of useful substances. So get used to good things and learn to cook them deliciously!

I deservedly consider this recipe one of the best. In a jar, such pickled vegetables look very beautiful and bright. Just looking at them makes me want to try this preservation. The cabbage turns out crispy, with a balanced sweet and sour taste. There is no need to sterilize the workpieces, which saves time on preparation.

Ingredients:

  • cauliflower - 2.2 kg
  • carrots - 2 pcs.
  • bell pepper - 2 pcs.
  • onions - 1 pc.
  • garlic - 100 gr.
  • hot chili pepper - to taste
  • dill seeds - a pinch
  • bay leaf - 1 pc.
  • allspice - 1-2 pcs. to the jar
  • horseradish leaves - 1/3 part per jar
  • leeks - optional
  • parsley, dill - 1 bunch each

For marinade per 1 liter of water:

  • salt - 1 tbsp.
  • sugar - 2.5 tbsp.
  • vinegar 9% - 4 tbsp.

Cooking method:

1.Vegetables must be thoroughly washed. Peel carrots, onions, peppers. If there is any damage on the surface of the fruit, it must be cut out (otherwise the workpiece may deteriorate).

2.Carrots are cut into long strips. To speed up the process, you can grate it on a Korean grater, it will turn out beautifully.

3. Also cut the bell pepper into long strips, about 1 cm wide. Chop the onions and leeks (one stalk will be enough) into rings. Finely chop the greens. Separate the cabbage into inflorescences; the stalk is not needed.

4.Tear the horseradish leaves into 2 or 3 parts. In each jar (washed with soda, or even better, sterilized), place a piece of these leaves at the bottom. The remaining ingredients are laid out on these leaves. So, put 1-2 peas of allspice, 1 bay leaf, 2-3 cloves of garlic in each container.

Use the quantity and composition of herbs and spices to suit your taste. If you like it spicy, add more chili pepper. If you like the aroma of dill, add more of its seeds. If you don't like parsley, don't use it.

6. Place vegetables on top of the herbs and spices. Place the cabbage florets tightly. Fill the voids with onion rings, carrots and bell peppers. Bright fruits will contrast favorably with white. At the same time, put water on the stove to boil.

7. Pour boiling water over the filled jars to the very top. Cover with clean lids and let steam for 15 minutes.

If you want the inflorescences to be softer, you must first blanch the cabbage for 3 minutes.

8. Drain the water from the cans into a saucepan and measure the amount. For every liter of water, add 2.5 tbsp. sugar, 1 tbsp. salt. Place this marinade on the stove to cook. After the brine boils, pour vinegar into it.

9. Pour the boiling filling into the jars and immediately seal with metal lids. Lids must be sterilized!

10.In order for cauliflower salad to be stored well, it needs to be wrapped in a warm blanket so that the sterilization process continues and the fruits are ready. Before wrapping, turn the canned food upside down. And at the same time, check that they are well sealed; the marinade should not leak out.

How to freeze cauliflower - an easy way to freeze for the winter

It would seem that what’s so difficult about freezing vegetables? I put it in a bag or container and put it in the freezer. But in reality it's not that simple. Some fruits, for example, bell peppers, can actually be washed, cut, placed in some container and frozen. But this trick won't work with cauliflower.

If you simply freeze it, it will darken, become too hard, and the taste will deteriorate. Therefore, we need to act differently. Read on for a good way.

You will need:

  • cauliflower
  • zip bags

Cooking method:

1. Disassemble the cabbage into inflorescences, removing the leaves and stalk. Wash the pieces thoroughly under cold running water.

2. Boil water. For 1 kg of vegetables, take 4 liters of water, add a little salt. Place the inflorescences in boiling water and wait until it boils again. After that, time 3 minutes, no more is needed.

3. Drain the cabbage in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

4. Place the blanched pieces on a clean kitchen towel and let them dry completely.

5.Place dry vegetables into bags. Release as much air as possible before sealing the package tightly. Freezing is best stored in a vacuum. Place the inflorescences in one layer.

No fruits should be re-frozen. Therefore, put in one bag as much cabbage as you need for one preparation of soup, stew, etc.

6.Place the filled bags in the freezer. Home-frozen can be stored for 3 months, nothing sticks to each other, there is no excess water, unlike store-bought copies.
