- The resulting brine is poured into jars. It is advisable that each container contains cloves, bay leaves and peppers.
Jars can be closed with lids. This completes the cooking procedure. The containers only need to be turned over and wrapped up until they cool.
Storage of canned blanks
Banks are best placed in a cellar or refrigerator. In such conditions, blanks are stored for a year. If sterilization has not been carried out, then it is advisable to eat the product as soon as possible.
