Garlic lecho for winter from pepper and tomatoes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. This preparation is best prepared during the harvest season, when the vegetables are fresh, juicy and fleshy. Tomatoes for such a preparation do not necessarily need to take small ones, which are better used for preservation as a whole. Large fruits will do well. Tomatoes are carefully washed, cut out the attachment point of the peduncle. Cut the pulp into pieces.

2. Step 2:

   

   Tomatoes are twisted in a meat grinder or punched with a blender. Tomato puree is poured into an enameled saucepan (it is better to use dishes with a thick bottom or non-stick coating, a saucepan or a saucepan) and put on fire. Cook tomato juice for 20 minutes from the moment of boiling over medium heat. It is very important to stir the vegetable mixture periodically, lifting it from the bottom of the pan so that it does not start to stick and burn.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sugar, salt, vegetable oil, mix, bring to a boil. Put the bay leaf, allspice, peppercorns, cloves, mix.

4. Step 4:

   

   Bulgarian pepper is washed, cut out the peduncle with the seed capsule. Cut the pulp into strips. Pepper can be taken in different colors to make the vegetable preparation brighter and more colorful.

6. Step 5:

   

   We send the cooked bell pepper to a saucepan with tomato puree. Bring the vegetable mixture to a boil and boil for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring with a spatula so that the tomato puree does not burn to the bottom of the pan.

7. Step 6:

   

   Peel the garlic, rub the cloves on a fine grater or twist them in a meat grinder, punch them with a blender until smooth. We send it to the pan with the rest of the vegetables.

8. Step 7:

   

   Wash the cans with soda and sterilize them in a water bath or in the oven, in a microwave oven. The lids are washed and boiled. We fill the jars with vegetable mixture up to the shoulders of the jars. We roll them up immediately with lids, turn them upside down, wrap them with a warm blanket and put them away for storage in a cool place or a pantry. Lecho is ready. Bon appetit!
