Recipe for lecho made from peppers, onions and juice for the winter

Everyone in my family loves to eat it with spaghetti. Yummy - try making this for the winter too!

Main ingredients:

• homemade tomato juice or sauce - 0.5 kg;
• sweet pepper - 3 kilograms;
• sugar - half a kilo;
• vegetable oil - half a glass;
• onion - one kilogram;
• water - two glasses;
• vinegar 6% - glass (250 g).

I want to say that if you don’t have homemade tomato juice or sauce, then store-bought will do. The main thing is that there are fewer preservatives and dyes in it.

I recommend taking sweet bell peppers in different colors so that the finished lecho looks more beautiful. After all, the mood in winter is often gloomy, but if you open the jar you will feel joyful. 🙂

How to prepare lecho from bell peppers, onions and juice for the winter

Wash, peel and cut the peppers and onions. Cut the pepper into 4 parts.

And the onion is in large half rings.

Place all the chopped ingredients in a container, pour in tomato juice or sauce and put on fire. When we see that the contents in the pan have boiled, cook for another 20 minutes.

Before rolling into jars, add vinegar, stir and wait until it boils. I don’t add additional salt and sugar to the lecho, because what’s already in tomato juice is enough for me.But you should try your preparation and, if necessary, add to your taste.

We close the lecho in clean jars, which I sterilize in the oven.

A very convenient way to sterilize: we place the jars so that they do not touch each other. If they are wet, the neck is down, and if they are dry, the neck is up. Place the oven on when it is turned on, bring the temperature to 200ºC and turn it off. Now let it sit for 20 minutes and voila, you can lay out the workpiece. There is no need to wait long and sterilize each jar separately.

Cover the contents with a lid.

Homemade pepper lecho should be stored cold, in the refrigerator or basement.

You can serve it with any dish or side dish to add variety to your winter diet. The aroma of this quick-to-prepare pepper preparation is simply gorgeous. Bon appetit and happy tasting everyone. 🙂
