You should make about 2 tablespoons of grated garlic. Small umbrellas of dill, currant leaves, cherries, bay leaves, cloves, horseradish, etc. can be added to the marinade as herbs. Cherries are very tasty and have a wonderful aroma, and an unusual marinade will also give them a special note.

Step 6
After the marinade has cooled, drain it into a separate container. Bring the marinade to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar, stir until the honey is completely dissolved. Vinegar should be added at the rate of: 2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar per 1 liter of liquid.
Step 7
