Each housewife with experience of home canning, is sure to try to prepare dishes from the "blue" for the winter. Unfortunately, most of these dishes require mandatory sterilization, which in the summer heat is an unpleasant procedure. This review contains the best recipes that do not require sterilization of the dish before spinning.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
Ingredients for home canning should always be selected very carefully, however, for recipes that do not require sterilization, this rule is of paramount importance: putrefactive bacteria, which may be present in not too fresh and high-quality vegetables, get into a tightly closed jar without preliminary prolonged heating and begin to intensively multiply, and the finished dish spoils very quickly.
For seaming, fruits that meet the following requirements should be selected:
- smooth peel without the slightest damage and cracks;
- plain color with the obligatory presence of gloss, without greenish, brown or light streaks (this indicator indicates the achievement of technical ripeness by the vegetable and the absence of signs of overriding);
- absolutely dense structure throughout the volume;
- the correct form corresponding to the variety;
- the presence of the stalk, and the tail should be saturated green;
- the same size, preferably medium (too small fruits are most likely not ripe, and unnaturally large can be grown using growth stimulants, however, the size of the vegetable largely depends on its variety).
Did you know? Sunflower oil boils at a temperature of + 230 ° C, and extra virgin olive oil - only at + 160 ° C, so it is better to use sunflower oil for canning without sterilization.
The best recipes for eggplant preparations for the winter without sterilization
Before proceeding directly to recipes, it would be worthwhile to give a few basic rules, knowing which, any housewife will be able to accurately determine which dish requires mandatory sterilization before spinning, and which one can be rolled right away.
The following conditions help to avoid heating cans with pickles in a pan with water:
- The presence in the recipe of a large amount of preservative (vinegar, citric acid, sugar, salt can act as such), as well as pungency (garlic and chili).
- Possibility to pour boiled water in vegetables in jars several times, and immediately before spinning - with hot marinade.
- Use vegetable oil instead of sauce. In this case, the oil is heated to a boil and poured into a jar, after which it immediately closes. The boiling point of vegetable oil is much higher than that of water, so this ingredient kills pathogenic microflora in the contents of the jar is much more reliable than ordinary boiling water.
- Finally, without sterilization, those dishes are rolled up that are laid out on the banks hot, immediately after boiling, stewing or frying. Recipes involving the use of thermally processed semi-finished products of any additional manipulations (for example, cleaning and slicing baked eggplant), as a general rule, require sterilization.
As examples of dishes that meet the specified requirements, below are nine of the best recipes of delicious “blue” for the winter without prior sterilization of the workpiece.

In order to keep the workpieces fresh and high-quality throughout the entire period, the following conditions must be provided for them:
- temperature not higher than + 25 ° С;
- lack of drafts and temperature differences;
- dryness;
- blackout.
