Salted watermelons whole in a barrel for winter
40 min.
10 servings
In the middle of September, when the heat is already losing its position, it's time to cook salted watermelons in a barrel for the winter. Initially, determine the place where it will stand. I recommend choosing a dark room with a temperature of about 12 degrees.
Ingredients
- Watermelon (3-3.5 kg each) – 10 pieces
- Bay leaf - 10 pieces
- Currant - 4 branches
- Horseradish - 6 sheets
- Cherry - 8 twigs
- Sugar - 1 glass
- Salt - 3 glasses
- Water (boiled) – 12 l
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Wash the watermelons, leaves and twigs.
Wash the barrel thoroughly, cover the bottom with half of the leaves and twigs.
Next, lay the watermelons tightly, pour in the bay leaf and cover with the remaining leaves and branches on top.
Mix the cooled water with sugar and salt.
Pour into a barrel with watermelons, cover with a lid and leave for 2 months in a dark cool place.
