Ukrainian-Style Vegetable Salad for Winter

A simple, tasty vegetable salad in a sweet-and-sour marinade. This Ukrainian-style salad is a great preserve to put up for the winter, made from the fall vegetable harvest with spices and a sweet-and-sour marinade. It comes out bright and festive — a colorful accent on any holiday table. Serve it as a relish with meat or poultry; it also goes beautifully with fluffy boiled potatoes. It's fine for meatless days and travels well for a picnic or trip to the country.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients for the Ukrainian-style salad: ripe but firm tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and spices — cloves, peppercorns, and bay leaves. The salad is dressed with sunflower oil, vinegar, salt, and sugar.
Step 2:

Cut the vegetables into strips or sticks, not too fine — keep in mind the salad will be cooked, and vegetables that don't break down into mush always look and taste better.
Step 3:

Cut the tomatoes into large wedges.
Step 4:

Put the prepared vegetables in a pot and add the salt, sugar, bay leaves, black peppercorns, allspice, and whole cloves. Add the sunflower oil and table vinegar. Set over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes from the time it boils. Meanwhile, prepare the jars and lids: sterilize the jars in the microwave with a little water at full power for 3 minutes (or boil them as usual), and pour boiling water over the lids.
Step 5:

Pack the hot salad into the prepared jars, filling them about halfway with the juices.
Step 6:

Microwave the jars at a rate of 7 minutes per three pint (half-liter) jars. This amount of ingredients makes about 5 quart jars (or 9–10 pint jars). Or sterilize them the usual way, in a water bath.
Step 7:

Seal the jars with sterile lids and set them "under a blanket" until completely cool.
Step 8:

That's it — your Ukrainian-style salad is ready! Store it in a cool place until you need it. It makes a great relish for meat dishes or boiled or fried potatoes. Enjoy!
