Eggplant with honey for winter

1. Eggplants are thoroughly washed under running water. Cut off the ends of each vegetable on both sides. Then cut the eggplant into circles. The skin does not need to be cleaned.

2. We put the prepared eggplants in a deep bowl, sprinkle with salt (5 grams will be enough). We leave it for one hour. This will help to remove the inherent bitterness of eggplants.

3. Peel the garlic from the husk. Each clove is cut into 2 parts. If the garlic is large, then you can cut it into 3-4 parts.

4. After the specified time, I wash the eggplants under running water. Dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

5. Fry the eggplants in sunflower oil on both sides. It is not necessary to fry too much, only to bring it to half-readiness. The fire should be small. Sunflower oil should be used only refined.

6. And now we fill the jars with eggplant mixed with garlic. The jars are pre-sterilized over steam. Although it can be sterilized in any convenient way: in the oven, in the microwave, as convenient as possible.

7. Pour water into a saucepan. Add the peppers. We send the pan to the fire, bring the marinade to a boil. When the water boils, pour vinegar, pour the remaining salt, add honey.

8. Let it boil for a couple of minutes, and then turn off the fire. Immediately pour the eggplant marinade, screw with sterile lids.

9. The blanks are turned upside down. We insulate it with a blanket or an old blanket. Leave until completely cooled. Usually a day passes.

In winter, such eggplants will go with mashed potatoes, or as an appetizer.

Have a nice tasting!
