    1. Wash the zucchini, peel it, and scrape out the seeds (if the zucchini are young, you can skip peeling and seeding). Cut the prepped zucchini into small cubes.
    1. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges (a medium tomato into 4, a large one into more).
    1. Peel the onion and garlic; slice the onion into thin half-moons and the garlic into thin slices.
    1. Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and cut them into cubes.
    1. Put all the vegetables in a pot and set it over low heat (give them time to release their juices).
    1. Once there's enough liquid, add the marjoram and ground red pepper, pour in the oil, raise the heat, and simmer until the vegetables are soft.
    1. Right at the end, add the salt and pour in the vinegar essence, simmer another 2 minutes, and pack it into sterile jars (prep the jars ahead — wash them and sterilize over steam or in the microwave), then cover with metal lids (I scald the lids with boiling water first and let them dry).
    1. Pasteurize the jars in a roomy pot of boiling water (the water should reach the jars' shoulders): 10 minutes for pint (half-liter) jars, 15 minutes for quart (liter) jars. After pasteurizing, seal the jars.
  • Store in a cool, dark place such as a cellar or basement.
  • Wishing you a cozy winter and good health!
