How to make homemade lecho for the winter

It is better to take round tomatoes.

They do not have such a hard core, and this plays an important role in our recipe, since we will not put them through a meat grinder, but simply cut them. True, initially they will need to be “undressed,” that is, the skin must be removed. To do this, you need to dip our tomatoes in boiling water for a couple of seconds, after which they will easily peel.

Wash the carrots well and grate them.

Also, peel and finely chop the onion. Pour sunflower oil, preferably odorless, into a deep saucepan and begin adding ingredients. Sauté carrots and onions in oil for about 7 minutes, then add tomatoes, sugar and salt.

Leave to simmer covered for 10 minutes.

At this time, we remove the seeds from the sweet pepper, the main ingredient of our preparation, and cut it into strips.

Our home-style lecho will be thick and with a bright, rich taste if you use thick-walled pepper. We also add it to our boiling mixture and simmer again for another 50 minutes.

After this, all that remains is to add vinegar, taste to determine the sufficient amount of salt, and cover with a lid and leave to simmer.

In 10 minutes, delicious homemade lecho is ready.

You can simply pour it into sterilized jars, cool and store. That's all the cooking secrets that have been proven over the years. Enjoy canning lecho at home.
