Cooking process
First of all, let's prepare the sauce. We wash the tomatoes and hot peppers, cut out the place where the stalk grows from the tomatoes, cut the tomato into arbitrary pieces. We add hot pepper solely to taste; you can do without it if you are not a fan of everything spicy. 
We pass the tomatoes and peppers through a meat grinder with the finest grid, or grind everything in a blender bowl. Pour the tomato puree into a thick-bottomed pan, immediately add a portion of salt, sugar, and vegetable oil. Cover the pan with a lid, place over moderate heat, and cook for fifteen minutes. 
Wash the cucumbers in cool water and dry. We cut off the ends on both sides, cut the cucumbers themselves into circles, about half a centimeter. In principle, you can choose any cutting method. 
Remove the hot tomato puree from the stove, add spices, and don’t skimp on them. At this stage we also introduce a measured amount of vinegar. 
Immediately add cucumber rings. Prepare this one, which is probably already world famous. 
Peel a good amount of garlic, rinse and dry, cut the cloves into small cubes. Throw it into the pan. Mix everything and put it on the stove. 
Cook the cucumbers with spices for exactly ten minutes after boiling. At this stage, you can already taste a little of the sauce and, if necessary, adjust the final taste to suit yourself. After ten minutes, very quickly pack the cucumbers into dry, sterile jars. 
Immediately, literally instantly, we tighten the jars with boiled lids and check the sealing. Cool the cucumber salad in Georgian style for the winter under a terry towel or blanket, turning the jar upside down. Store in a dark place. And my grandmother always cooked this one. When I see him, I immediately remember her. 
Bon appetit and delicious preparations!

Georgian winter salad with cucumbers - recipe
We purchase in the store or collect the freshest and ripe vegetables from the garden beds. The tomatoes must be washed, then make a cross-shaped cut on the top of each fruit and lower them into boiling water for 1-2 minutes, after which you must carefully remove the peel from the tomatoes.
Cucumbers can be filled with cold water for a couple of hours in advance and changed periodically, then the vegetables need to be cut strictly in half lengthwise, and then into not too thin circles as shown in the photo. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly before cooking, because we will not cut the skin off them..
We wash the bell pepper, carefully cut out the core of each fruit along with the stalk, and then cut it into small pieces. We also chop the peeled tomatoes, but to a puree state, then pour them into a pan of suitable volume. We also add prepared sliced bell peppers there. Add the specified amounts of sugar and salt to the ingredients, mix, bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes after boiling.
After the specified time has passed, add the prepared chopped cucumbers to the pan with tomatoes and bell peppers. Mix the ingredients and boil for another 5 minutes. Peel the garlic cloves, press them through a press or chop them very finely, and place them in a saucepan along with sunflower oil. Bring the appetizer to a boil again, then turn off the heat.
We sterilize the jars by steaming or boiling water; you can also use a microwave or oven for this purpose. We put the hot preparation into jars that have not yet cooled down, but are dry, and pour one teaspoon of table vinegar into each jar. We seal the jars with sterilized lids, let the preserves cool under a blanket and put them in the pantry. Classic Georgian salad with cucumbers is ready for the winter.
I offer another delicious recipe for preparations - Georgian salad for the winter. Its composition, like many similar preparations, contains bell pepper.
Bell peppers are often called sweet peppers (after all, they really are sweet), however, despite their name, they contain very, very little sugar (only 5%). This fact is not the only reason that this vegetable is deservedly called a dietary and very healthy product.
The main thing you need to know about bell peppers is that they are rich in an incredible amount of vitamins. For example, it contains a huge amount of vitamin C (especially red and yellow peppers), moreover, it contains even more of it than black currants and lemon. But in terms of provitamin A content, bell peppers are not inferior to carrots, which promotes hair growth and also has a beneficial effect on vision and the general condition of the skin. Don’t forget about B vitamins (B1, B2, B6), which help cope with depression and diabetes, insomnia and loss of energy.
In general, be sure to add this product to your diet and use it to prepare the most delicious and healthy dishes, for example, Georgian salad for the winter!

How to prepare Georgian salad for the winter:

2. Thoroughly wash the remaining vegetables (bell peppers and cucumbers) under running water. Next, remove the core and seeds from the sweet pepper, and then cut it into small cubes. We cut the peeled tomatoes in the same way.
3. Transfer the chopped tomatoes and peppers into one pan (deep bowl), add salt and sugar, and then put it all on the fire. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes (covered, over moderate heat).
4. Meanwhile, let's prepare the cucumbers. You need to cut off the “caps” from them, and then cut them into small half-slices (to do this, we first cut them in half lengthwise and then cut them across). Peel the garlic, wash it, and then chop it very finely with a knife.
5. After the specified time has passed (after 20 minutes), add chopped cucumbers to the pan with peppers and tomatoes. Mix everything, bring the vegetable mixture to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes over low heat.

Then the jars need to be sealed with lids, turned upside down and covered with a warm towel. Leave the salad in this form for at least a day.

Place cucumber rings in hot tomato.

Despite the rather classic combination of products, the taste of this twist is very original. Crispy salted cucumber slices, juicy tomato pulp, sweet bell pepper strips - all marinated in vinegar and spices. And the garlic adds such an appetizing spiciness. A delicious cucumber salad for the winter will come in handy as a snack. It goes well with meat and vegetable dishes. It is served with porridge, fried potatoes, and baked meat. Sweet and sour spicy vegetable salad for the winter is very simple to make. And you will spend very little time preparing it.
For 7 half-liter jars you will need:
- 2 kg of cucumbers,
- 1 kg bell pepper,
- 3 heads of garlic,
- 1 kg of tomatoes,
- 2 tbsp. vinegar essence,
- 150 ml sunflower oil,
- 5 tbsp. Sahara,
- 2.5 tbsp. salt.
Step-by-step recipe with photos:
We take fleshy varieties of tomatoes so that their flesh does not become too soft during the cooking process. After all, we will not marinate them whole, but in pieces. We wash these vegetables and divide each into two halves. We cut out the green corners - they remained in the place where the stalk was attached. And now we cut it into neat slices.
Wash the peppers under the tap. Separate the tails and cut lengthwise. We clean the seed pod. Chop the rest into thin strips.
We put both products together in one pan. Simmer over low heat so that the vegetables do not stick to the bottom. After boiling, cook for a quarter of an hour.
At this time, separate the heads of garlic into cloves. And we peel each slice. Cut them into medium pieces. We cut the washed strong cucumbers first lengthwise into two halves, and then each one crosswise. The result is smooth half rings. If the cucumbers are not large, then cut them into rings.
Salt, add sugar. Add oil and vinegar. You can add a couple of pinches of ground black pepper if you wish.
Mix the almost finished salad, being careful not to mash the tomatoes. As soon as it “gurgles” again, we time it for five minutes. And then remove from the stove.
We fill the sterilized jars with Georgian appetizer and roll them up. We turn them over so that they stand on the lids. Wrap until completely cool. We also recommend preparing it for the winter, it’s also easy and tasty.
Tips: The salad can be made more spicy if you add one chili pod, cut into small circles, at the very end.
It is better to take bell peppers of different colors. This way the salad turns out elegant and attractive.
Bon appetit.
