Beans for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for harvesting beans for the winter. Take fresh vegetables: carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, beans, and spices. This salad is a great way to attach vegetables of "non-marketable type", not very beautiful tomatoes, bell peppers and large carrots. Beans are better to use milk ripeness, more mature have a hard shell.

2. Step 2:

   

   Beans are extracted from the pods.

3. Step 3:

   

   Fill them with cold water, put them on fire, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes. Then drain the water, pour clean cold water, cook again for 15 minutes and drain the water. And repeat this procedure again.

4. Step 4:

   

   While the beans are cooking, prepare the rest of the vegetables. Bulgarian pepper is washed under running water, cleaned from the peduncle and seeds. Cut into strips.

5. Step 5:

   

   Carrots are washed, cleaned and grated on a medium grater.

7. Step 6:

   

   Tomatoes are washed, cut into cubes. It is better to take tomatoes that are not very ripe and firm, so that they do not turn into tomato paste during the cooking of the salad.

8. Step 7:

   

   The beans boiled three times for 15 minutes are ready for further processing, we drain the water from them through a colander. They should have a specific smell disappear, and they themselves will become soft. We put beans and other vegetables in a large metal container. Add sugar and salt, ground black pepper, vinegar, vegetable oil, water, mix and put on medium heat.

9. Step 8:

   

   Cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally so that the vegetables do not burn. Meanwhile, we sterilize the cans. This can be done in a water bath or in an oven, as it is convenient for anyone.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the sample, the liquid should almost all evaporate. If the carrots have become soft, then remove the container from the fire. We lay out the hot salad in jars, roll them up or twist them with sterilized lids. Turn the jars upside down, cover with a blanket and let cool at room temperature. We store cans of beans for the winter in a cool place. Enjoy your meal!
