How to keep parsley for the winter

Fresh greens (as soon as plucked from the garden) cannot be kept for the whole winter, but salted parsley tastes no different from freshly cut parsley.

• The grass needs to be washed, washed and any bad twigs removed.
• Chop into arbitrary pieces.
• 150 grams of salt is taken per kilogram of greens. Parsley and salt are mixed well and laid out in clean jars.
• As a lid, parchment is used, which is fixed in the area of ​​the neck of the jar.

Greens prepared in this way should be stored in a cool place. Parsley fully retains both its taste and useful properties.

You can prepare parsley for the winter in brine.

• Greens need to be chopped and packaged in jars.
• Prepare a hot brine: take 30 grams of salt per liter of water.
• Fill the jars and sterilize for 5 minutes.

You can use marinade instead of brine. It is prepared from the following ingredients:

• water (l);
• salt (50 g);
• granulated sugar (50 g);
• table 6% vinegar (200 ml).

Parsley is well stored in vegetable oil. The taste of the spice lasts at least 3 months.

• Parsley must be cut into arbitrary pieces and put in clean jars.
• Heat the vegetable oil well and carefully pour it over the jars of herbs.

In this form, parsley perfectly retains its appearance, and the oil can be used for dressing salads.

Greens can be frozen. The grass is frozen in small bunches, placed in a plastic bag or wrapped in cling film.

Sometimes parsley is cut before freezing. The pieces can be arbitrary, but they are also packed in bags or wrapped in foil.

In winter, it is convenient to use frozen parsley in portions.

• The grass needs to be washed and chopped.
• Then arrange into ice cube trays and pour a little water into each.

The resulting cubes are convenient to put in soup. Water can be replaced with vegetable oil.

There is another interesting way of portioning. Grind the parsley in a blender bowl. If necessary, you can pour in a little water. Divide the resulting gruel into molds and freeze.

Harvesting parsley is a simple and time-consuming process. In winter, food will smell like summer thanks to your efforts.
