    1. Peel the onion, rinse it, and cut it into small dice. Pour a little vegetable oil into a small skillet and sauté the chopped onion for 5–7 minutes, until translucent. 2. Wash the tomatoes well and let them dry. Cut each tomato in half, then in half again, and slice the quarters lengthwise into half-moons. 3. Wash the bell peppers, cut off the stems, halve them, and scrape out the seeds. Cut the peppers into strips. 4. In a suitably sized pot, combine the tomatoes and peppers. Add the sautéed onion, then the salt and sugar, and stir well. Set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to the minimum, cover, and simmer for half an hour. 5. Add the 9% vinegar (it keeps the salad from souring and the jars from blowing their seals), stir again, and take the pot off the heat. 6. Get the jars ready: wash them well and sterilize over steam or in the oven. Boil the lids in a pot for 5–7 minutes. 7. Ladle the still-hot salad into the prepared jars and seal right away with the sterilized lids. Set the sealed jars upside down on a hard surface and wrap them in a blanket. Leave them, keeping an eye on them, until completely cool. Once cooled, move the jars to a dark, cool place — a basement, cellar, or fridge. The salad keeps for up to a year, though it tends to disappear fast. Enjoy!
