I grow peppers every year, but fresh ones are not very popular here.
I make lecho and the most amazing homemade spread from it.
It is unbeatable on toast, but it also makes sauces taste great, and I also put it on pasta.
We need:
2 kg of pepper.
150 g of tomato puree (ideally homemade) – we can also use peeled tomatoes.
5 cloves of garlic.
100 ml of vinegar.
4 hot peppers (or depending on how spicy you want the spread to be).
2-3 teaspoons of salt.
50 g of granulated sugar.
Procedure:
Wash the pepper.
Remove the stems and kernels.
Clean the garlic.
Just like peppers, we will also prepare hot peppers.
Now grind all the ingredients in a meat grinder.
Add salt, sugar and pressure.
Add vinegar.
Mix thoroughly.
Layer the spread in clean canning jars.
We will close tightly.
We sterilize at a temperature of 85 degrees for 25 minutes.
Then let it cool.
Store in a cooler, dark place.
The spread can last for a whole year, that is, as long as you don’t eat it until then (it always happens here :-D).
