How to pickle Physalis

The nightshade family to which Physalis belongs is large enough, but not all of its representatives are suitable for human consumption, and even more so for home-made preparations. Two grades of Physalis are usually used for food: berry (he is Peruvian) and vegetable (he is Mexican). Of the first, it is best to make jam, the second is perfect to pickle it for the winter. This is done in different ways, taking into account the general rules.

  • Physalis is most often hidden in a box by which it is possible to determine the degree of its maturity: when ripe, it is usually grayish. Before washing the berries, from these boxes, you need to release them.
  • Reserve yourself with patience: the surface of Physalis is covered with a sticky wax coating, which is not easy to wash, but necessary.
  • Physalis can be marinated in one of two basic ways to choose from. The first option is to put it in a colander in boiling water for a minute, pour hot marinade, and then sterilize for 10-20 minutes, depending on the volume of the cans. The second method does not require sterilization: physalis is poured with boiling water or hot brine, which after some time is poured into a saucepan and boiled, often with vinegar (sometimes vinegar is poured directly into the jars), again poured into the jars.
  • No matter what type of canning is chosen, cans and lids can only be used clean, sterilized. This rule applies to all blanks for the winter.
