Ingredients

Tomatoes - 4 lbs
Orange Bell Peppers - 2 pieces
Cucumbers - 6 pieces
Garlic - 7 cloves
Water - 1 qt
Salt - 3 tablespoons
Sugar - 3 tablespoons
Table vinegar - 8 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers, cut them in half, and pierce each half with a fork 1–2 times.

Step 2

It is better to use small tomatoes, preferably plum tomatoes. Also pierce each tomato with a fork 1–2 times.

Step 3

Cut the bell peppers into large slices, peel and roughly chop the garlic, and chop the herbs.

Step 4

Place the prepared cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers in a container (I usually use a pot that holds 4 to 5 liters), layering them with herbs and garlic, and add peppercorns and a few bay leaves.

Step 5

Boil the water with salt and sugar, then add the vinegar.

Step 6

Pour the boiling brine over the vegetables, cover with a lid. Let it cool, and when it is completely cool, put it in the refrigerator. It can be consumed the next day.
