Sometimes you can deviate from the traditional recipe and try to cook it in a special way.

What products should be prepared:

- 2 kg of cucumbers;

– 1 kg of bell pepper;

- 1,5 cups of natural tomato paste;

- 3 large carrots;

– 2 medium bulbs;

- about 2 glasses of water;

- 7 tablespoons of any odorless vegetable oil;

– 3 tablespoons of vinegar;

- 2 tablespoons of sugar;

- 1 tablespoon of salt;

– 8 peppercorns;

– 3 bay leaves;

– Your favorite spices for vegetables.

How to cook:

Take a convenient saucepan and mix water, natural homemade tomato paste, oil, sugar and salt in it. After boiling, cook the mass for at least 5 minutes.

After the specified time, add grated carrots, chopped onions, sweet pepper and spices to the paste, boil and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes.

Cucumbers should be thoroughly washed, because even the smallest traces of dirt can trigger the activity of pathogenic organisms. Vegetables should be chopped into rings, sent to other ingredients for 10 minutes.

Pour the finished mass into a sterilized jar and twist.

After that, we provide heat to the cans with a blanket or towel. After about a day, the workpiece can be moved to a cool, dark place.
