Hello, Alexander is here. Yesterday we came from the garden and brought back another portion of the harvest. And we decided to prepare a wonderful vegetable platter from everything we had. And this is not so much. In total, we counted seven main ingredients.
We have prepared this assortment before. And it must be said that it is this type of preservation that is eaten before anyone else. And it’s much more convenient to store it. Judge for yourself, in order to have pickled cucumbers or tomatoes on the table, we need to open at least two jars if we salted them separately. And if you want more zucchini and squash? A couple more cans were opened. It is very difficult to eat 4 jars of pickles at a time, or even in a day, and the question arises, where to put the open jars?
That’s why we’ve been making assorted vegetables from vegetables for a long time. It is convenient to store, it turns out very tasty and can be eaten in one go. Therefore, I am happy to share this wonderful recipe with you.
Assorted Vegetable Garden (1 way)
For 1 three-liter jar you will need:
- white cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, carrots, pieces of zucchini, small onions, cloves of garlic, a piece of horseradish root;
- sprigs of herbs and spices - to taste;
for marinade (per 1.5 liters of water):

Selection and preparation of ingredients
When choosing and preparing vegetables, you need to consider the following recommendations:
- Cucumbers should be young. The variety must be intended for conservation. You should not take salad cucumbers.
- It is advisable to take tomatoes that are firm, small, and without damage to the skin. They should be fairly ripe, but not overripe.
- Squash can be taken in any size. But small young vegetables turn out more tasty and crunchy.
- It is recommended to cut the onion into half rings, but you can also chop it into cubes.
- You should not chop the cabbage too much, as its particles will float in the marinade. It is better to divide it into several parts. You can use broccoli.
- Peppers can be cut into half rings or strips. You can take green, red and yellow bell peppers.
- Carrots should be cut into thin strips. If they are thick, they may not marinate well.
You can also use other vegetables, such as green beans, zucchini and others.

From garden to table
Let's start learning about this simple pickled snack from the very basics. The key to successful canning is always the choice of good raw materials. Often, assorted vegetables consist of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cauliflower, carrots, onions, zucchini and squash. Moreover, in various variations, depending on the preferences of the household and the imagination of the housewife.
For preservation, it is better to choose small-sized fruits with intact and intact skin. Tomatoes are selected of medium size and uniform color. The “slivka” variety is very suitable for assorted dishes. It does not lose its shape during the twisting process and retains its rich taste and color.
You should also choose bell peppers that are not large in size, without damage to the skin. Before putting them in jars, experienced housewives recommend clearing the seeds from the peppers. Before preserving, cauliflower must be doused with boiling water and the head divided into small inflorescences. Squash and zucchini are also selected to be small in size, with intact skin and no spots.

Place the assorted jars in a large saucepan with water (it should cover them 2/3 of the way up), sterilize for 5 minutes. Remove the jars from the water, roll them up and put them in a cool place after cooling.
Cooking methods
Cauliflower is marinated with other garden fruits according to different recipes. Each housewife has her own way. And the taste of the assortment depends on what vegetables are added to the cabbage.
Classic assorted cauliflower in a three-liter jar
It is better to prepare the assortment in a large 3-liter jar in order to put enough vegetables. For a head of cauliflower you need to take:
- medium-sized tomato fruits - 5-6 pieces;
- 2-3 pods of bell pepper;
- 4 cucumbers 7-10 centimeters long.
You will need garlic, parsley and dill for the appetizer. Whole or chopped sprigs of greenery are placed in the prepared jar. Mix the vegetables, placing them tightly in the container. Greens and tomato fruits are placed whole, and pepper pods are cut into pieces or strips. Garlic cloves, peppercorns, and bay leaves can also be used. To fill the contents, use a well-boiled marinade.
Preservation ends with pasteurization of the assorted jars. The procedure is carried out for 25-30 minutes, after which the pickled vegetables are rolled up with metal lids.
Quick recipe without sterilization
If you don’t want to spend a lot of time, then you can use a recipe that does not provide for sterilization of the workpiece. Assorted vegetables with cauliflower are prepared using the same vegetables as in the classic recipe.
In order not to sterilize the workpiece, you need to first pour boiling water over the products in the jar, warming them up for 10-15 minutes. After draining the water, you will need marinade. It is prepared by adding sugar, salt, vinegar, black peppercorns and allspice to water.
Option in tomato
The recipe also includes cauliflower, cucumbers and peppers. It is recommended to take assorted eggplants, cut into slices or circles. They are first sprinkled with salt to remove the bitterness. You can put small onions by cutting them in half.
Instead of tomatoes, use tomato juice, although, if desired, several whole fruits can be put in a jar. It is better to prepare juice yourself from ripe tomatoes. They are passed through a meat grinder or juicer. But be sure to make sure that there are no seeds or skin left inside. From 1.7 kilograms of tomatoes you get a liter of juice. It must be boiled with a spoonful of salt and 2 spoons of sugar. At the end, pour a tablespoon of vinegar into 9%.
Pour tomato juice over the vegetables, simmer for several minutes. It is necessary to sterilize the workpiece.
With onions and sweet peppers
For this assorted recipe you need to prepare:
- cauliflower, divided into pieces - 1 kilogram;
- straws from bell pepper pods - 300-400 grams;
- onion rings - 200-300 grams;
- spices.
The chopped vegetables are mixed, salted, and then left for 6 hours. In clean liter jars put 1-2 pieces of dill umbrellas, bay leaves, 6 peppercorns, and on top - cauliflower with onions and peppers. The boiled marinade is poured over the salad components. Be sure to pasteurize the workpiece.
With bell pepper and carrots
In addition to the main ingredients: heads of cauliflower, pieces of pepper and carrot slices, you need horseradish and its leaves. Place the peeled and washed root and spicy leaves at the bottom of the jar. There is also an umbrella of dill, currant leaves, and cherries. Black and allspice peas, bay leaves and garlic cloves will not hurt. Then come the main components of the assortment. They are laid tightly up to the hangers of the can. First, scald with boiling water. After 20 minutes, the water is drained, and boiling marinade takes its place.
With lemon
Instead of vinegar, citric acid is used for preservation. It makes the marinade soft. The preparation of the assortment goes like this:
- Place carrot slices, pieces of pepper, cabbage divided into inflorescences, and peeled cloves of garlic into the jars one by one.
- First you just need to fill it with boiling water.
- After 15-20 minutes, pour the water into the pan, adding sugar, salt, and finally citric acid. You need a teaspoon per liter jar.
- After boiling for 5 minutes, pour the marinade into the contents of the glass container.
Sealing with metal lids is required.
With tomatoes and cucumbers
In this recipe, if you take a kilogram of cabbage, then there are 2 times less cucumbers and tomatoes. The marinade is prepared from:
- liters of water;
- a tablespoon of salt;
- 2 - sugar;
- 3 - vinegar at 9%.
Peppercorns are used as a spice. The turn of the marinade comes after pouring boiling water over the vegetables once. Pickled vegetables are used as a side dish for meat and potato dishes.
Assorted cucumbers and tomatoes without sterilization
Required:
- cucumbers and tomatoes;
for the marinade:
- 1 liter of water;
- 2 tbsp. spoons of salt;
- 2 tbsp. spoons of sugar;
- 1 teaspoon mustard beans;
- 1 teaspoon 9% vinegar;
- chopped garlic;
- cherry, currant, horseradish leaves, dill umbrellas;
- bay leaf, allspice and peppercorns to taste.
Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes well. Place in layers in sterilized jars (cucumbers down, tomatoes up). Add salt and sugar to the water and bring the marinade to a boil. Fill the jars. Let sit for 2-3 minutes and then carefully pour the liquid back into the pan.
Add all the leaves to the marinade, bring to a boil again, and strain. Add mustard, garlic, a few peppercorns to each jar, and pour boiling marinade over it. Pour in vinegar, roll up and let cool. Store the assortment in a cool place.
Practical part
You need to start the cooking process by preparing the main ingredient. To do this, rinse the eggplants thoroughly under cold water and then carefully remove the stem. Each fruit should be cut lengthwise strictly in the middle, but not all the way to the base. It will be enough to leave a few centimeters uncut at the end.
At this time, pour water into a separate container and put it on the fire. When the water boils, you need to add a little salt (1 teaspoon per 1 liter of liquid) and lower the eggplants inside one by one. Each fruit should be cooked for about 8 minutes on average. After the allotted time has passed, the contents of the container should be passed through a colander, and then the vegetables should be left under pressure for 8-10 hours.
The eggplant filling must be prepared after the specified time. For these purposes, it is worth heating a frying pan, pouring sunflower oil onto its surface and frying the pre-grated carrots together with chopped onions. Next, you need to peel the garlic and chop it using a press or knife. Along with the garlic, add a small amount of finely chopped herbs to the fried vegetables. Then add salt to the filling and add various spices if desired.
Now each eggplant needs to be rubbed with salt on the inside. After this, using a teaspoon or tablespoon, you need to fill each fruit with the prepared filling.
You need to stuff the vegetables in a thick layer, placing them in a large container. Each layer must be salted and sprinkled with a small amount of herbs. In a separate pan, boil plain water, adding 1 teaspoon of salt for each liter. When the brine is ready, they need to pour the eggplants, which are arranged in layers in a separate container. You need to place a plate with a press on top. Vegetables should be fermented for 2-3 days.
When the allotted time has passed, you need to drain the water and transfer the pickled vegetables very tightly into pre-sterilized jars. The workpiece is stored in the refrigerator or cold room. This dish is served both as a side dish and as an appetizer.
Assorted vegetables with cauliflower
For 1 liter jar you will need:
- 5 small tomatoes;
- 3 small cucumbers;
- 180 g cauliflower;
- 1 bell pepper;
- 3 carrots;
- 3 cloves of garlic;
- 3 small onions;
- 3 bay leaves;
- 1 clove bud;
for the marinade:
- 1 liter of water;
- 3 tbsp. spoons of table vinegar;
- 1 teaspoon sugar;
- 2 teaspoons salt.
Wash the vegetables and bay leaves. Separate the cauliflower into florets. Peel the onion and garlic. Remove the stalks and seeds from the pepper and cut the pod into 8 pieces. Cut the carrots into circles. Place garlic, bay leaf, cloves and onion in sterile jars.
Prepare the marinade. Pour water into a saucepan, add sugar, salt, bring the mixture to a boil. Place vegetables in marinade and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add vinegar, stir.
Place vegetables in jars, pour hot marinade, cover with lids and sterilize for 10 minutes in boiling water. Roll up the jars, turn them upside down, let cool and store.
