Finger-Licking Lecho without Bell Pepper

Lecho without bell pepper? Yes — read the recipe and make it! This is a really tasty preserve called lecho, though it's been reworked and changed a bit (not by me — a friend gave me the recipe). We all know bell pepper lecho, but who's tried cucumber lecho? Hurry up and make it, and surprise your loved ones with a zesty appetizer! (Lecho is a Central/Eastern European stewed vegetable relish.)

    1. Peel the garlic and put it in a blender.
    1. Wash the tomatoes, cut them into 2–3 pieces, and add them to the blender after the garlic.
    1. Blend the tomatoes and garlic into a fragrant sauce (you can use a meat grinder instead, if that's easier).
    1. Pour the sauce into a suitable saucepan, add the sugar, salt, and vegetable oil, stir, and set it on the heat.
    1. Wash the cucumbers and cut them into thin rounds (be sure to taste for bitterness — bitter cucumbers won't work for canning).
    1. When the sauce boils, add the prepared cucumbers, lower the heat, and cook for 40 minutes (don't rush to add water — the cucumbers will release their juices and the mixture won't stay as thick as it was at first).
    1. To finish, add dried spices to taste and the vinegar, keep it on the heat for another 5 minutes, and pack it into jars you've sterilized beforehand.
    1. Seal the jars with boiled lids and turn them upside down. Wrap the jars warmly and leave to cool slowly. After 25–30 hours, the jars can go to the cellar.
  • That's it! A delicious appetizer to enjoy through the winter cold.
