Pickled platter can be made from a variety of vegetables. It is good to take them in different colors, bright and appetizing. Small vegetables are marinated whole. Large fruits such as zucchini and cabbage, for example, are cut into large chunks of approximately the same size for even cooking. If you prefer a strong marinade with vinegar, then such blanks do not have to be sterilized - in a cool place they will stand for quite a long time under a regular nylon lid.
