and squash are rolled approximately the same way, but there are also differences that are very important and should not be forgotten. The most important thing is that after seaming, the jars must be cooled as quickly as possible, avoiding drafts. If you wrap them, as is practiced with zucchini, then the tender squash will soften, become flabby and lose its taste and appearance.

Patisson is a delicate berry, so they try to roll them whole. Cut squash is rolled up mainly in the form of salads, and large ones are selected for this occasion. And small squash are pickled, or salted, or preserved whole.

They are washed thoroughly beforehand, especially paying attention to the curly edges. The tail and stalk are gradually cut off from two flat sides, but the skin does not need to be removed, it is very thin. But blanching is required, and before starting it you need to prepare a bowl of water and ice thrown into it. After holding a portion of squash in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, they are dipped without transplanting into ice water.

The jars, as expected, are washed, fried or steamed before seaming, and the lids are the same.
