How to pickle physalis for the winter with garlic, tomatoes, pepper - recipes

I love to receive guests and amaze them with unusual preparations for the winter. Among others, pickled and salted physalis, the recipes of which I will share now. The exotic fruit perfectly complements preparations with cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes. Looks great assorted and tastes somewhat like canned greenish tomatoes. I suggest expanding your collection of recipes. To feel more confident, keep a few useful tips.

The vegetable type of physalis is greenish in color and really resembles tomatoes, only the shape is slightly different. What’s not amazing is that both vegetables belong to the nightshade family.

How to pickle physalis

In winter preparation, housewives use Peruvian strawberry or pineapple physalis, and its vegetable (Mexican) variety. The most delicious jam is made from pineapple fruits ; you can get acquainted with its recipes at least now by following the link to another article.

Physalis fruits are hidden in boxes. You can determine the degree of maturity by their grayish color. The first task when pickling a vegetable is to free it from its packaging, this is done right away, otherwise the vegetable will become bitter.
Usually, the fruits are covered with a sticky substance that needs to be washed off. The plaque will be completely removed if you blanch the fruits. This is an indispensable condition when making jam. When marinating, rely on manufacturing technology; with double pouring, this manipulation will not be necessary.
The thick skin of physalis is usually pierced in the place where the stalk was located, this will speed up the pickling process.

There are two methods of preparation: without sterilization and with heat treatment of jars in a water bath.

Physalis marinated with garlic without sterilization

You should not think that pickled physalis, canned without sterilization, will not last for a long time. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers are prepared by double pouring, and they all stand unsurpassed from winter until spring.

Pour sugar and salt on top, dividing the full amount indicated in the recipe into two jars (or add spices when boiling the brine).
Boil water and pour into jars. Let stand for 20 minutes to warm up the vegetables.
Drain the liquid and boil again. Sugar and salt can be added to the water at this step, it does not change anything.
Pour vinegar into the jars, or add to the water after boiling.
Fill the jars, seal, invert and refrigerate.
To be sure, the warm-up function can be created again, but usually two or three are enough.

Physalis marinated with pepper and oil

The most common recipe for making it for the winter. Pepper is not an indispensable condition. The method allows you to prepare only one physalis. At the end you will get a tasty salad with a pleasant sweet marinade.

Physalis, pickled for the winter

Almost everyone perceives physalis as an exotic fruit, which is not clear for what it is needed, except perhaps for beauty. But some housewives make jam from it, pickle this product. Physalis, pickled for the winter, tastes like pickled greenish tomatoes, only the taste of physalis is a little softer. It’s not difficult to preserve it; preparations made from it are stored well, so it won’t hurt to replenish your recipe box with one more of those that will be given below. But first, it makes sense to study general tips.

Individual manufacturing

The nightshade family, to which physalis belongs, is quite large, but not all of its representatives are suitable for consumption, and even more so for homemade preparations. Two varieties of physalis are usually eaten: berry (also known as Peruvian) and vegetable (also known as Mexican). The first one is ideal for making jam, the second one is perfect for pickling it for the winter. This is done using various methods, taking into account general rules.

Physalis is most often hidden in a box, from which you can determine the degree of its maturity: in a mature one it is usually gray in color. Before washing the berries, they must be released from these boxes.
Be patient in advance: the surface of physalis is covered with a sticky waxy coating, which is difficult to wash off, but necessary.
You can pickle physalis using one of two main methods to choose from. The first option is to put it in a colander in boiling water for a minute, pour it with hot marinade, and then sterilize it for 10–20 minutes, depending on the size of the jars. The second method does not require sterilization: physalis is poured with boiling water or hot brine, which after some time is poured into a pan and boiled, often with the addition of vinegar (from time to time, vinegar is poured directly into jars), again poured into jars.
Regardless of which canning method is chosen, jars and lids can only be used if they are unstained and sterilized. This rule applies to all preparations for the winter.

The organoleptic properties of physalis pickled for the winter will depend on the recipe chosen.

Physalis, marinated in halves

Compound:

vegetable physalis – 1 kg;
water – 1 l;
salt – 20 g;
sweet sand – 60 g;
bay leaf – 1 pc.;
dark pepper (peas) – 6 pcs.;
table vinegar (9 percent) – 60 ml;
vegetable oil – 20 ml.

Place the well-washed physalis in a colander, lower it into boiling water so that it completely covers the fruit. After a minute, remove, cool, and cut any fruit in half with a sharp knife.
Place the physalis halves in jars approximately up to the shoulders.
Make a marinade of salt, sugar, water, bay leaf and pepper, boil it for 5 minutes.
Pour vinegar and oil into the marinade, turn off the heat.
Pour the physalis, covering it completely with the marinade.
Close, turn over the lid, wrap and leave until completely cool. Store in a cool place.

This recipe is one of the most common. In accordance with it, there is no need to drain the brine from the jars, which is not very convenient to do, or to sterilize them. Even an inexperienced housewife can create pickled physalis using this recipe.

How to pickle physalis - recipes for savory preparations for the winter

Physalis fruits belong to the Solanaceae family. It is called the Mexican tomato. Its fruits - berries - are hidden in boxes, contain many vitamins and help the body remove toxins (Ancient Greek toxin (toxikos) - poisonous - poison of biological origin) . Vegetable crops are considered one of the best for canning. Pickled fruits are characterized by a distinctive taste and smell.

The smell depends on the chosen variety. Vegetable varieties that are distinguished by large fruits are better suited for preservation. The vegetable has a striking color from yellowish to orange, sometimes with an admixture of purple.

Berries prepared for the winter mix well with tomatoes, peppers, garlic, and seasonings.

How to pickle physalis (fruit preparation)

For winter preparations, choose mature vegetables that fit tightly to the box. Release the berries from the sepals. Great to wash.

The top of the berry is covered with an adhesive film that needs to be removed. It contains the alkaloid physalin with bitter, poisonous qualities. Gluten is easily removed by blanching vegetables.

To do this, the fruits need to be poured with boiling water for 2-3 minutes, followed by rinsing in warm water. If you use double filling of fruits during preservation, the bitterness is also removed.

Before storing in jars, the berries are pierced with a toothpick in the area of the stalk, this speeds up the process of canning the fruit.

Step-by-step recipe with photos

Physalis is a perennial herbaceous plant with fruits similar to green tomatoes. Any fruit is enclosed in a shell reminiscent of a Chinese cardboard lantern. There are berry or strawberry physalis, and also vegetable. My mother-in-law has been growing vegetable physalis for many years; the plant has taken root well and is scattered throughout the garden. I really love physalis in its freshest form, but there is so much of it that I partly make preparations.

I offer you a recipe for pickled physalis, which you can offer to meat dishes and vary your menu in the winter. Cinnamon is added to the marinade, which gives the preparation a very exciting taste.

To pickle physalis for the winter, you need to prepare all the products according to the list. The fruits of physalis are covered with a waxy coating, therefore, after removing the fruit from the sepals, you need to carefully wash the physalis with warm water.

Place pepper and cloves on the bottom of an unsealed jar and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Place a medium-sized horseradish leaf, cut into 2-3 pieces, into a jar. Fill the jar with physalis to the top.

Boil water and pour physalis for 15 minutes, covering the jar with a lid.

Measure sugar and salt into a saucepan, drain the water from the jar and bring to a boil. At the very end, pour in vinegar and stir.

Pour the hot marinade over the physalis and immediately tighten the jar. Turn over onto the lid and cover with a blanket until cool.

After 2 weeks, pickled physalis is ready to eat, but we will wait until winter.
