From sweet pepper you can cook a very tasty preparation for the winter – sweet pepper in a tomato. Peppers stewed in sweet tomato sauce retain their integrity and turn out even slightly crispy, and the sauce itself can then be used as a delicious addition to many second courses. It is best to close the already ripe (ripe) pepper, preferably thick-walled, then the preservation will come out much tastier.

Ingredients:

  • Vegetable oil – 125 ml.
  • 9% vinegar – 1 tbsp. l.
  • Black pepper – 8 peas.
  • Tomatoes – 1.5 kg.
  • Sugar – 180 g.
  • Bay leaf – 2 pcs.
  • Salt – 2 pcs.
  • Sweet pepper – 1.5 kg.

How to cook:

1. For preservation, select ripe (best meaty) peppers (the color of vegetables does not play a role), wash it well.
