Cucumber tomato salad without sterilization

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers for the winter? Prepare all the necessary products. Of course, such preparation should be done during the vegetable season and take ground tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the cucumbers, dry them and cut them into rings or half rings (depending on the thickness of the cucumber.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the tomatoes, dry them, remove the stems and cut into thick slices. I recommend using plum-shaped tomatoes for preparations - they have thick skin and hold their shape well.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the pepper, remove the stems and seeds, cut into thin strips.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion and cut into thin half rings.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix all the chopped vegetables, add chopped garlic. I put the cloves through a press, but you can grate the garlic on a fine grater or simply chop it with a sharp knife.

7. STEP 7

   

   Salt the vegetables.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add sugar.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour in vegetable oil.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour in vinegar. This recipe uses 6-9% vinegar, but if you have essence, dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:8.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place all the vegetables in a thick-bottomed bowl and place over low heat.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cook on low heat for about 20 minutes. The salad will be greatly reduced in volume.

13. STEP 13

    

    Sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I pour some water into the jars and put them in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. But you can also sterilize them in the oven at 100 degrees for about 30 minutes, or simply scald them with boiling water, or steam them. Boil the lids for 5 minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the salad in jars and close the lids tightly or roll up. No sterilization required.

15. STEP 15

    

    Bon appetit!

I was looking on my favorite website for a recipe for a winter cucumber salad, since I had large cucumbers. I was interested in cucumber tomato salad for the winter without sterilization due to its simplicity and speed of preparation. I prepared it from 1 kg of cucumbers, counting the number of products using the site’s calculator. It is very comfortable. I got 3 jars of 700 grams each. I cut all the vegetables as described in the recipe and mixed them. I added spices according to the list. Boiled it, spread it out and rolled it up. What could be simpler) Just like the author, I scald the jars with boiling water, it’s more convenient for me) Excellent preparation of vegetable salad in its own juice, and especially without sterilization, which saves a lot of time! And very tasty, of course I tried it) Cucumber, tomato, pepper, onion - this is a wonderful memory of summer. Garlic perfectly complements all the vegetables, next time I’ll add more) After cooking, the tomatoes that were soft spread a little. Therefore, for this salad you need to use only dense tomatoes. Many thanks to the author!
