Squash caviar for the winter - the best recipes at home. Real jam! Squash caviar for the winter without frying: recipe and photo

Hello! Squash caviar is one of the most popular vegetable snacks. Preparations for the winter can be made according to different recipes, for example, “You will lick your fingers” or as they used to do, according to GOST. There are other ways. And today I will introduce you to the most interesting and favorite options. For your convenience, I have made all the recipes with detailed descriptions and photos. And also with the addition of video.

As a child, to be honest, I didn’t like it, and at school it was often served as a side dish for lunch. I didn’t like its color, but then I tried it and fell in love with it. Although, I liked them, and my mother also cooked very tasty dishes from this vegetable.

Now every year I prepare at least a little for the winter. It goes great as a spread on sandwiches or as a side dish with meat; for example, it goes very well.

I would like to note that it is better to make canned food from young vegetables. It still has a delicate and soft skin, and the flesh inside is still dense, and the seeds are not large or rough. Therefore, this vegetable can be cooked whole. If the zucchini is already “matured”, it is worth peeling it and cutting out the pulp and seeds. And only after that start preparing caviar.

Make sure to sterilize your jars in advance. You can sterilize them in the oven at 50 degrees for about 30 minutes. Place them on the racks, neck down. Boil the lids in water for 5 minutes.

This recipe is my favorite. It's fast and easy, a quick fix so to speak. And the caviar turns out very tender, juicy and tasty. The store-bought one cannot compare with it. It's not for nothing that they call it that. But let's take things in order.

We will need:

  • Zucchini - 1.5 kg. (net weight)
  • Onion - 250 gr.
  • Carrots - 250 gr.
  • Vegetable oil - 100 gr.
  • Tomato paste -150 gr.
  • Salt - 1 tablespoon
  • Sugar - 4 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 3 cloves
  • Ground red and black pepper - to taste
  • Vinegar 9% – 50 ml

Preparation:

1. Peel the zucchini and cut into pieces. If there are rough seeds and a very soft center, be sure to cut them out.

2. Then cut the carrots and onions into arbitrary pieces.

3. Pass all vegetables through a meat grinder. First the onions and carrots, and then the zucchini itself.

3. Pour in vegetable oil, stir and put on fire. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer covered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. In the meantime, you can prepare the jars. Sterilize them over steam. Or boil it. Then you need to place them with their necks on the bottom of the pan, completely fill them with water and boil for 15 minutes. Place the lids in boiling water for 5 minutes.

5. Then remove the vegetables from the heat and puree with a blender. But if you want, you can leave it like that.

6. After this, add tomato paste, mix thoroughly and put on the stove until it boils. Then add salt, sugar and pepper.

7. Cover with a lid, but not completely, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring. After the elapsed time, add grated garlic and pour in vinegar.

If you want it thicker, simmer for 30 minutes. More liquid will boil away.

8. Then transfer to prepared sterile jars and roll up. And leave until completely cooled, neck down, in a warm place. From the presented products we got 1.5 liters and a little more to try now. The taste is amazing.

There are three variations of squash caviar:

  • puree, crushed in a blender;

  • cooked in pieces.

In addition, there are many combinations of vegetables, seasonings and so on. Below I will show you the most varied and delicious of them.

Tasty and tender caviar made from a minimum amount of ingredients. This appetizer is a great way to use up overripe zucchini. But young vegetables also make a great dish. Give it a try.

  • one and a half kilograms of zucchini;
  • 4 cloves of garlic;
  • 2 carrots;
  • 2 onions;

  • 1 laurel;
  • half a tablespoon of salt (coarse, without additives);
  • 50 grams of vegetable oil;
  • a third of a tablespoon of granulated sugar;
  • a little ground pepper.

Cooking steps:


1.Cut the onion into medium cubes. Heat the oil in a saucepan or cauldron and add the onion there for 5 minutes.


2. Meanwhile, you need to peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Add to the onion and cook for another 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and yellow.


3. If you are using young zucchini, then they probably still have unformed, soft seeds and thin skin. You can simply wash them and put them to use. But larger specimens still need to be subjected to peeling and seed removal. Cut into cubes and send to stew, along with onions and carrots.


4. Pass the tomatoes through a meat grinder along with the garlic. Pour the mixture into the vegetables 5 minutes after adding the zucchini. Add tomato paste, salt, pepper and granulated sugar. To stir thoroughly.

Do not forget to constantly stir the vegetable mass, because it very quickly sticks to the walls of the pan.

Zucchini caviar with mayonnaise for the winter

Zucchini caviar with the addition of mayonnaise turns out to be even more rich and aromatic in taste. The main thing is to choose high quality mayonnaise. Then your snack will be the most delicious. This kind of caviar is worth making at least once. You will definitely like it.


Ingredients:

  • one and a half kilograms of zucchini. If you use overripe fruits, then you need to weigh them in a form that has already been cleared of seeds and peel;
  • 130 grams of mayonnaise;
  • half a teaspoon of ground pepper (black);
  • 250 grams of onion;
  • 130 grams of tomato paste;
  • 2 medium carrots;
  • 100 grams of vegetable oil;
  • a tablespoon of coarse rock salt (you can use special salt for preparations);
  • a tablespoon of nine percent vinegar;
  • half a tablespoon of granulated sugar.

Cooking steps:


1.Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the diced onion. After it acquires a translucent color, add carrots, chopped into medium cubes. While the vegetables are frying, cut the zucchini into large cubes (about 2*2 centimeters) and also place in the frying pan.



2. Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add tomato paste and simmer for another half hour.


3. Now that the vegetables are ready, you need to add salt and granulated sugar to the mass and grind it with a blender.

If you don’t have such an assistant in the kitchen, you can use a regular meat grinder. This will make the caviar more grainy.


4. Since we are preparing a treat for the winter, the mass needs to be put on the stove again. If you cooked the caviar for instant eating, you can remove it before it cools. So, put the puree on medium heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Cover with a lid, because it will actively “shoot”.

5. Now you need to add mayonnaise and black pepper. Stir and simmer for 20 minutes.


6. Add vinegar, stir and turn off the heat. This completes the preparation of the snack. During this time, you had the opportunity to simultaneously sterilize the jars. You need to put caviar in them, right to the very edges. Seal and then turn upside down.

7. Wrap the jars and leave them overnight to cool. The next day they can be sent to the basement.

Quick recipe for caviar without frying according to a simple recipe

Caviar, in which the vegetables are pre-fried, is certainly delicious. But less useful, because boiling oil does not benefit the body at all. An excellent alternative to this method is stewing. The dish turns out no less tasty, but, at the same time, more healthy.


Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini;
  • a tablespoon of thick tomato paste (highest quality);
  • 2 onions;
  • 1 carrot;
  • salt and black pepper to taste;
  • 2 tablespoons of nine percent vinegar.

Cooking steps:


1.Chop the zucchini into neat pieces. If you plan to puree the caviar during the process, then you don’t have to pay attention to accuracy. But we will prepare the dish in pieces, so we cut it beautifully.


2. Place the zucchini in a thick-walled saucepan or cauldron. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and cut the onion into cubes. Pour one glass of water and place on the stove. After boiling, the heat must be adjusted to medium. Simmer the vegetables for half an hour.


3. Add pasta, salt and spices to your taste. If necessary, you can add a little water. Stir and simmer for another 20 minutes. At the end of the process, taste the vegetables. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Pour in the vinegar a minute before it’s ready.

4. Immediately pour the finished caviar into sterile jars and seal. No additional boiling is required. It is enough to turn the closed jars upside down and cover them with something warm until they cool completely. And the next day they will be completely ready to move into the basement.

Squash caviar according to GOST (as store bought)

Lovers of store-bought caviar, this recipe is for you! It turns out very tasty and is in no way inferior to a store-bought product. Try it and see for yourself!


Ingredients:

  • a kilogram of zucchini (young ones are better, because they are less hassle);
  • 75 grams of tomato paste;
  • a little black pepper at your discretion;
  • 1 onion;
  • 25 grams of granulated sugar;
  • a tablespoon of lemon juice;
  • 15 grams of salt;
  • vegetable oil (30 grams + a little for frying onions);
  • 5 grams of nine percent vinegar.

Cooking steps:


1. Wash the zucchini. If they are already overripe, then you definitely need to get rid of the core and peel. Cut into cubes. Let it simmer without oil until done. If the vegetable is dry, you can add a little water. Then drain in a colander to remove excess liquid.

Don't be confused by the fact that we don't add oil in this case. After all, very soon the zucchini will release juice, in which it will be stewed. And, if necessary, as I already said, you can always add water.

2. In a separate frying pan, fry the onion until golden and cooked.


3. Combine onions and zucchini in one pan in which you plan to cook caviar. Puree them with a blender. Now you can add the rest of the products from the list, with the exception of vinegar. After all, it can evaporate during the cooking process. Simmer for 1 hour, covering with a lid and stirring frequently.

4. After an hour, pour in vinegar, stir and distribute into sterile jars.

Tasty and, as it turns out, quick to prepare caviar, ready for long-term storage.

Squash caviar pieces

Not everyone loves the creamy consistency of caviar. If you fall into this category, then you will surely love this recipe. It's quick and easy to prepare. And the taste is very delicate and piquant.


Ingredients:

  • 6 kilograms of zucchini;
  • one and a half glasses of vegetable oil;
  • one and a half glasses of granulated sugar;
  • 2 full tablespoons of salt;
  • a glass of nine percent vinegar;
  • liter of tomato paste;
  • 2-4 large heads of garlic;
  • a large bunch of herbs (for example, dill and parsley);
  • 4 tablespoons of dry adjika.

Cooking steps:


1. Peel the zucchini and cut into cubes. Finely chop the greens. The garlic also needs to be chopped as finely as possible.

2. Place zucchini, tomato paste, salt, adjika, granulated sugar into a large roasting pan, pour in oil and stir thoroughly. Simmer for 1 hour over low heat, after boiling.


3. Then add herbs, garlic and stir well. Simmer for 10 minutes. Pour in vinegar and remove from heat. Now the caviar can be distributed into jars.

4. Before this, jars must be sterilized in a convenient way. You can find out about them below. Turn the sealed jars of snacks upside down and cover until cool.

Squash caviar in a slow cooker

Caviar from zucchini is quite easy to prepare anyway. And if you cook it in a slow cooker, it’s doubly simple. Now I will tell you how to make it delicious too.


Ingredients:

  • 3 and a half kilograms of large zucchini;
  • 2 large onions;
  • 2 large carrots;
  • a glass of pureed tomatoes;
  • a glass of vegetable oil;
  • 3 tablespoons salt;
  • a teaspoon of ground pepper;
  • half a teaspoon of citric acid;
  • 2 full tablespoons of granulated sugar.

Cooking steps:


1.Pour half a glass of oil into the multicooker bowl. Heat it in the “Frying” mode. While it is heating, peel the onions and carrots. Cut the onion into cubes and grate the carrots. Send them to fry until the onions are translucent.


2. In the meantime, you need to peel the zucchini and cut it into cubes. Add to the fried vegetables, stir and set the “Stew” program for 1 hour.

There is no need to add water, because the zucchini will release its own natural juice.

3. Grind the tomatoes in a blender. Before doing this, they must be cleaned. This is easy to do if you first make a small cut on them and pour boiling water over them. Now the peel can be easily removed. Add them to the caviar after 20 minutes of stewing.


4. Add all remaining ingredients (except acid and remaining oil) and blend everything with a blender. Put on “Stew” for another hour. The puree will actively “shoot”, so I recommend placing a steamer attachment on top.

For a bright color to the dish, you can add a little turmeric.

5. After 30 minutes, add oil and citric acid. Stir and continue simmering.

6. Meanwhile, sterilize the jars. Distribute the hot snack into a glass container and seal. Now the contents need to cool slowly. This can be ensured by wrapping the jars in a blanket. In the morning, move them to a cool place.

Squash caviar in a bag (sleeve), cooked in the oven

You can also prepare delicious squash caviar in the oven. It's very simple. You only need the products on the list and a baking sleeve. I invite you to try this interesting recipe and rate it.


Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini (you can even use overripe ones);
  • 3 small sweet peppers;
  • 2 medium carrots;
  • 3 tomatoes;
  • 3 onions;
  • 5-6 cloves of garlic;
  • 1 tablespoon of coarse table salt;
  • a full teaspoon of granulated sugar;
  • 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
  • a teaspoon of khmeli-suneli;
  • some greenery;
  • a tablespoon of nine percent vinegar.

Cooking steps:


1. Peel the zucchini and remove seeds. This applies only to ripened and overripe vegetables. Young zucchini does not need to be subjected to these procedures. Peel all vegetables except garlic and cut into cubes. Add vegetable oil, granulated sugar, salt, seasonings and stir well.


2. Place in a baking bag and secure the corners. Place on a baking sheet. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and place the vegetables there for 1 hour.

To prevent the bag from bursting at the bottom and the juice leaking out, pierce it in several places before sending it to the oven, usually with a toothpick.


3. Transfer the vegetables from the bag into a thick-walled saucepan. There is no need to pour juice. Otherwise, the caviar will be liquid. Blend the mixture with a blender.

4. Add garlic, crushed in a special press. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then pour in the vinegar and remove from the heat. Pour the mixture into jars and seal them.

How to sterilize jars for preparations

Any type of preparations for the winter requires sterilization of dishes. Even if some recipes state that this is not necessary, such a precaution will never be superfluous. Today we will look at six basic simple ways to prepare glass jars for long-term storage. They are suitable not only for squash caviar, but also for any other preparations.


1. Steam sterilization. To do this, you need to choose a wide pan and prepare a grate that will fit it. This could be, for example, an oven grill or a special mesh to prevent oil splashes. You need to install such a grate over boiling water in a saucepan and place the jars on it, neck down. They must first be washed with water or a soda solution.


2. Microwave sterilization. It is very comfortable. But there is one important condition - you must pour water into the jars, literally one and a half centimeters from the bottom. Otherwise they will burst. Set the power to 900 watts and the time to 3 minutes.


3. Processing at high temperatures in the oven. Place the jars in an oven preheated to 100 degrees, upside down. You can also put lids here. Sterilize for about 15 minutes.


4. Boiling. If you need to prepare 1-2 small jars, it will be more convenient to boil them in a saucepan. Fill them with water and place in a saucepan. This, in turn, is also filled with water so that it covers the jars. Boil in this form, after boiling, for 5-10 minutes.


5. In a solution of potassium permanganate. This is very convenient for those who do not want to work with high temperatures. Jars washed with soda should be thoroughly rinsed with a bright solution of manganese.


6. Pour boiling water over it. This method is suitable for new cans that have not been previously used. In addition, if your recipe provides for further sterilization of the workpiece directly in the jar, then it is enough to process them this way. Fill clean jars with boiling water up to the hangers and cover with lids. Leave for 10-15 minutes.

Today we were once again convinced that it is very easy to prepare delicious and everyone’s favorite zucchini caviar. We also learned that jars must be sterilized and even learned about the basic methods of this procedure.
