Canned Pumpkin with Bell Pepper for Winter

A wholesome and very tasty winter preserve — delicious, simple, and quick! I adore pumpkin and pumpkin preserves; I'll eat it any way at all. I came across this tasty little "pumpkin for winter" recipe in my grandmother's cooking notes. You can serve it as a dish on its own, stew it with meat, pair it with boiled rice, or use it as a sauce. It's a bit reminiscent of a Chinese dish.

  • Cut everything except the tomatoes into large pieces — sticks work well. Cook for 30 minutes, and 5 minutes before the end pour in 1 tablespoon of vinegar essence (concentrated vinegar). Then pack everything into clean, dry jars and seal them. I start the onion and carrot in the pot first and keep chopping the pumpkin while they go, because the carrot and onion are better braised (not fried) a little longer — otherwise the carrot can stay a bit tough. I adjust the proportions to taste: a little less carrot, and more pumpkin and pepper. Instead of the puréed tomatoes, you can use runny tomato paste or ready-made ketchup.
