Canned green peas

3 servings

40 minutes

Have you been on holiday at your dacha and brought back a lot of peas, but now you don't know what to do with them? Don't worry, they can easily be preserved! Homemade canned peas taste just as good as store-bought ones, but you can be sure that they don't contain any harmful preservatives that are added during the production of store-bought peas. If you sterilize the jars and lids well, roll them up tightly and store them in the fridge, the peas will last quite a long time. But believe me, you'll like them so much that they won't stay in the fridge for long. Add them to salads or just serve them in small bowls for lunch.
