The method of preparation of cucumber salad with bell pepper for the winter

Soak the small cucumbers collected the day before in a bowl filled with cold water for 30 minutes, wash them, cut the tails on both sides, cut them into round slices, 4-5 millimeters thick.

Be careful: only fresh, healthy cucumbers with undeveloped seeds are suitable for harvesting.

Fleshy red peppers clear of seeds. Cut the flesh into cubes 1x1 centimeter in size. Add pepper to the cucumbers.

Cut off the white part of the green onion. We cut the stems obliquely, pieces about a centimeter, add to the pepper with cucumbers.

Dill greens thoroughly washed with running water, remove coarse stems. We chop dill very finely, add to the rest of the ingredients.

We cut small slices of young garlic in half, large ones into 4 parts. We clean the chili pepper from the seeds, cut the tails, remove the membrane, cut into thin rings.

Add chili and garlic to the vegetables.

Now pour salt, grind the vegetable mixture with salt with your hands until juice stands out.

Pour vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.

Usually any vegetable or olive oil intended for workpieces is heated to a temperature of 120 degrees, and then completely cooled.

We pack vegetables in clean, sterilized jars. We lay the ingredients tightly, fill the jars about 1.5 centimeters below the neck.

In a pan for sterilization we put a cotton cloth, pour warm water (temperature about 40 degrees Celsius).

The jars are tightly closed with prepared lids, put in a pan so that the water reaches the shoulders.

Gradually heat to a temperature of 85 degrees, sterilize for 15 minutes jars with a capacity of 0.5 l.

Pasteurized workpieces are tightly corked, stored in a cool place at a temperature not exceeding +6 degrees.

Cucumber salad with bell pepper for the winter is ready. Enjoy your meal!
