Vegetable stew with apples for the winter - a delicious assorted zucchini, sweet peppers, tomatoes and apples. Apples are rich in pectin, so the stew is thick, sour-sweet. In order to keep well the blanks and the banks do not explode, I advise you to add vinegar and sterilize the stew banks. These simple manipulations allow you to save the processed crop until spring without loss of taste. Instead of the usual vinegar I advise you to use apple or wine, so it turns out tastier.
By the way, delicious sandwiches are made with this stew. Fry the toast in the toaster, put on the bread a couple of spoons of zucchini with apples, then a piece of boiled sausage or a fried egg, such a sandwich - you will lick your fingers!

Method of cooking vegetable stew with apples for the winter
In turn, put the chopped vegetables and fruits into a deep brazier or thick-bottomed pot. We start, as always, with onions. Without this ingredient can not do any vegetable dish.
So, throw in the pan finely chopped onions.
Remove the vegetable scraper with a thin layer of peel from the carrot, then rub the carrot on a large vegetable grater and throw in the pan to the onions.
Ripe red tomatoes (you can overripe, but without rot and signs of damage), cut into cubes, send to onions and carrots. Instead of tomatoes, you can use ready-made tomato puree or pasta.
Red bell pepper - sweet and meaty, cut in half, remove the core with the seeds, wash with cold water. Chop pepper finely, throw after tomatoes.
With a vegetable scraper we remove the peel from the zucchini, cut the fruit into two parts, remove the soft core with the seeds. Pulp zucchini cut into cubes, put in a saucepan.
Apples thoroughly wash, cut out the core. Cut the fruit along with the peel, as well as zucchini. Add the sliced fruit to the rest of the ingredients of vegetable stew for the winter with apples. Next, pour the vegetable oil into the pan, pour sugar and salt. Instead of vegetable, you can use olive oil or corn oil. You can also cook with unrefined sunflower if you like the smell of seeds.
Close the pan tightly, cook the stew on a small fire 45 minutes after boiling.
Pour into a stew flakes of sweet paprika and pour wine vinegar, mix thoroughly, heat to boiling again, remove from heat.
Thoroughly washed jars are sterilized over steam. Boil caps. We pack zucchini with apples in jars, compact it, with a clean knife we remove voids if they are formed in jars. Screw tightly with caps, sterilize in boiling water for 12 minutes (half-liter jars).
Cooled preparations of vegetable stew with apples for the winter can be stored in a city apartment in a dark, dry, cool place away from central heating radiators.
Bon appetit!
