Delicious Ankle Bens salad of zucchini and tomatoes for the winter

At that time, she did not know how to cook anything from zucchini for the winter. Therefore, mom made a mixture of two recipes - homemade lecho and vegetable caviar. The name was given - Uncle Bens, a sauce advertised on TV at that time. It turned out very, very tasty and you can see this for yourself if you make this homemade zucchini preparation yourself. I am posting the recipe I offer you with step-by-step photos taken.

To prepare five 800-gram jars of Uncle Ben's salad you will need:

2 kg of peeled zucchini;

3 kg tomatoes (preferably fleshy ones);

0.5 kg of small onions;

5 large bell peppers,

5-6 tsp. salt,

⅓ glass of table vinegar;

a glass of granulated sugar and vegetable oil;

garlic - to taste.

Let me note right away that canning jars are a must. sterilize!

How to make Uncle Bens from zucchini

For this preparation, it is better to take large overripe zucchini, from which you need to remove the seeds and pulp, remove the hard skin and cut into cubes as in the photo.

We clean the sweet pepper, remove the stem and seeds, and cut into slices.

Place the tomato halves in a food processor, grind them into puree, which we place in a large saucepan.

The volume of the bookmark will be significant, so immediately choose a 6-7 liter pan.

Place the tomato puree in a saucepan and add vegetable oil and sugar.

Mix thoroughly, bring to a boil, cook for 15 minutes. This is how long the mixture should boil!

To prepare the preparation, it is better to take small onions that are not stored for a long time. Clean, wash, cut into quarters.

Add the prepared zucchini to the tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes!

Add chopped pepper, garlic (grated or finely chopped), onion. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.

Add 5-6 teaspoons of salt (I use fine salt for preparations), 1/3 cup of vinegar and cook the mixture for another 15 minutes.

Place hot zucchini salad into jars and roll up immediately.

Such delicious Uncle Bens can be stored for a long time. In a harvest year, we make a large volume of harvesting at once. The taste does not change during storage.
