Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the vegetables Wash the zucchinis and slice them with a peeler into thin long slices. Grate the carrot coarsely or cut into julienne strips.
  • Filling the jars Place the garlic, dill, spices and a little carrot into sterilized jars. Roll the zucchini slices into spirals or loosely roll them and arrange alternately with the carrot. Pack firmly, but not too tightly.
  • Preparing the brine Bring the water to a boil, add the salt and sugar. After they dissolve, add the vinegar and simmer briefly.
  • Pouring and sterilization Pour the hot brine over the vegetables up to the rim of the jars. Close the jars, place them in a hot water bath and sterilize for 15 minutes from the point of boiling.
  • Maturation and storage After sterilization, turn the jars upside down and let them cool slowly under a cloth. Store in a cool, dark place. Ideally, let the zucchinis rest for at least 2–3 weeks.

Total preparation time:

Preparation: 30 minutes

Sterilization: 15 minutes
