Ankle bens from zucchini with tomatoes and peppers for the winter

We clean and chop vegetables. For this purpose, both a conventional meat grinder and a food processor are suitable. We start with onions - peel them, pass through a meat grinder.

Carefully wash, peel the carrots, and also pass through a meat grinder or three in a shallow vegetable grater.

Turn red, fleshy tomatoes into mashed potatoes. By the way, there is an easy way to do this with a vegetable grater. You need to cut a thin slice from the back of the tomato, and grate the pulp - in your hands there will be a peel that needs to be thrown away.

Peel the zucchini, cut into two parts. We remove the seeds, chop the pulp finely. Throw chopped zucchini to chopped ingredients.

Pods of sweet bell pepper cut in half. We remove seeds and stalks. Rinse the pepper under the tap to rinse off any remaining seeds. Cut the flesh into thin strips.

We put the chopped vegetables in the pan, pour the sunflower oil, add apple or wine vinegar, pour salt without additives and fine white sugar to your liking. Close the pan with a lid, simmer over moderate heat 45 minutes after boiling.

Dry the cans thoroughly washed to prepare the sauce in an oven (temperature about 100 degrees Celsius). We pack the sauce in jars, cork tightly.

For storage in a cool cellar, it is enough to wrap the hot workpieces with something warm for 10 hours, after cooling, put them in the basement.

If you plan to keep the sauce in the apartment, then you need to sterilize half-liter jars in boiling water for 15 minutes.
