Tomato dressing for borscht

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a tomato dressing for borscht for the winter? Prepare all products. If you use vegetables from the garden, the tomato sauce will certainly be richer. For the recipe, I took the “Pink” variety of tomatoes, they have a sweetish taste and are very juicy. I used Adyghe salt, it contains a certain amount of aromatic spices, this only made the sauce more aromatic. You can use any salt and tomatoes you like.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the stems from the tomatoes and wash all the vegetables under running clean water. Dry them with paper napkins or a towel. If desired, along with bell pepper, you can use chili pepper, then the finished dish will have an islandy and piquant taste. This time I took 3 pods of hot pepper for the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the tomatoes into two or four parts, this will make them easier to process in the future. Remove the places where the stalk was attached using a knife. Cut the peppers in half, remove all seeds and white veins inside the vegetable.

4. STEP 4

   

   Next, you need to process the tomatoes and peppers; this can be done using a meat grinder or blender (I usually use a meat grinder). So, chop the tomatoes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Do the same with bell peppers.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the twisted vegetables in a large saucepan or cup and add salt. Mix everything thoroughly and taste the sauce. If you don't have enough salt, add a little salt. Place the tomato dressing on the stove and, after boiling, simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes (remember to stir occasionally).

7. STEP 7

   

   Meanwhile, sterilize the jars and lids. Choose any method convenient for you; you can do this in the oven, microwave or in a water bath. Pour the prepared borscht dressing into sterile jars and seal with lids. Turn the jars upside down and leave them under a warm blanket or towel until they cool completely at room temperature. I leave it for about a day.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the workpiece in a pantry, cellar or other cool place for long-term storage.

I made a tomato dressing for borscht for the winter. The recipe is simple, with a minimum set of ingredients. I crushed the tomatoes and bell peppers in a blender and added salt (I use regular salt). It so happened that the dressing took longer to cook for me (about 30 minutes). During the cooking process, you need to remove the resulting foam. I poured the finished dressing into a sterilized jar, closed it with a boiled lid, turned it upside down on a towel, wrapped it in a blanket and left it to cool. This preparation is suitable not only for borscht, but also for various sauces, stews, and gravies. I always prepare homemade tomato dressings according to various recipes and in winter I get by just fine without store-bought tomatoes. And I thank the author for this recipe!

In a season when there are a lot of ripe tomatoes, this recipe perfectly diversified the rows of my preparations. And in winter it is simply irreplaceable for making soups.

Please tell me how the workpiece is stored? Will it be stored well in an apartment at room temperature? I want to do it, but I’m a little afraid that it will spoil in the apartment, because... preparation without vinegar and sugar.

You can pour this mixture into muffin tins and freeze it. And then, taking it out of the molds, put it in a bag and store it in the freezer)))
