Canned celery is a great preparation for winter and spring, when the body especially needs vitamins. The "green" dressing is added to fish and meat dishes, salads. This way they become tastier, more aromatic and healthier. This recipe is designed for a 0.5 l container. If desired, the volume can be increased. For canning, it is better to take the leafy part of celery.

How to cook Celery for the winter

Step 1

Steam the celery. Place the celery stalks in a jar as tightly as possible to the top. Boil water, pour boiling water into the jar, cover with a tin lid and leave for 5 minutes to steam.

Step 2

Prepare the marinade. Pour salt into a saucepan. Drain the liquid from the jar into it. Place the saucepan on the stove and bring the brine to a boil. Turn off the heat. Pour vinegar into the brine and stir. Pour the hot marinade into the jar with steamed celery to the top. Seal it tightly immediately. Check the tightness of the container by turning the jar upside down over the sink. Let the jar cool. Then put it in a cool place - a cellar, basement, pantry.

Celery for the winter - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar for the marinade?

Yes, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute for a slightly sweeter, fruitier flavor. Ensure it has the same acidity level (5%) for proper preservation.

How long does canned celery last in storage?

Properly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place like a cellar, canned celery can last up to 1 year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 1 week.

Is this recipe suitable for a low-sodium diet?

You can reduce the salt in the brine, but this may affect preservation. For safety, consider a tested low-sodium canning recipe or refrigerate instead of storing at room temperature.

Can I add spices like garlic or dill to the jars for extra flavor?

Absolutely! Add cloves of garlic, dill seeds, or red pepper flakes to the jar before pouring the marinade for a flavorful twist.

Can I freeze the canned celery instead of storing it in the pantry?

Freezing is not recommended for this recipe, as the texture may become mushy. Stick to cool, dark storage for best results.

What can I serve with this preserved celery?

Try it in salads, soups, or as a tangy garnish for sandwiches and charcuterie boards. It also pairs well with roasted meats or creamy dips.

Do I need to sterilize the jars before canning?

Yes, always sterilize jars and lids in boiling water before use to prevent contamination and ensure longer shelf life.

Can I reuse old pickle jars for this recipe?

Yes, but ensure they’re thoroughly cleaned and free of cracks or chips. Reuse lids only if they’re undamaged and seal tightly.
