Homemade squash caviar with mayonnaise and tomato paste for the winter

I would like to offer a simple recipe for making a simple and very tasty zucchini snack. As always, the recipe is accompanied by step-by-step photos.

To make preparations for the winter you will need: 3 kg of zucchini (pre-peeled and seeds), 0.5 kg of onions, 250 grams of mayonnaise, 300 grams of tomato paste, 100 grams of sunflower oil, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, 2 tbsp. spoons of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper and 1-2 pcs. bay leaf.

How to make squash caviar with mayonnaise and tomato

The cooking process takes place in several stages.

When starting to cook, you need to find a large container (I use a 5-liter saucepan) in which the product will be stewed.

Pass the prepared zucchini and onions through a meat grinder and combine in a saucepan.

Starting to cook, add mayonnaise, tomato paste, sunflower oil and simmer under the lid for 45 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent burning.

Then, add 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, 2 tbsp. spoons of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, bay leaf and leave to simmer for another 1 hour.

Before putting into jars, remove the bay leaf from the preparation. This is necessary so that the taste does not deteriorate during storage.

Place hot zucchini caviar in pre- prepared jars and roll them up. I get 7 half-liter jars. It is best to store the finished product in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark place.

Very tasty squash caviar with mayonnaise and tomato tastes no worse than store-bought. It can be a suitable addition to main courses, or it can simply be eaten as a sandwich with fresh bread.
