Cooking Features
Making pepper in a sweet pot for the winter is easy, especially since most of the recipes for this snack do not provide for its sterilization in cans. The best result will allow to get knowledge of the most important moments.
- Peppers in a sweet pot are usually covered with sliced. It can be cut into large pieces (dividing each pod into 2-4 pieces along) or in medium pieces, which are conveniently taken by mouth (then every quarter is cut into 2-4 slices also across). The time of heat treatment depends on the size of the pieces of pepper, therefore, it is not worthwhile to retreat from the instructions in the recipe regarding the nature of the grinding of fruits.
- Sugar or honey can be used to make a sweet pot. With honey, the blanks are fragrant, but they can only be stored in a cool place (basement, cellar, unheated storeroom). At first, the honey marinade may seem cloudy, but after 1-2 weeks it will become transparent. After this time, you need to assess the state of the blanks. If the marinade has not brightened in one of the cans, but has become even more muddy, you cannot leave it for the winter. This jar should be removed in the refrigerator and consume its contents in the near future.

- Banks under the pepper in a sweet pour must be washed with soap and sterilized. Covers are allowed to use only metal, ensuring tightness. They are also sterilized by boiling. If the sterilization of cans or lids is neglected, the blanks will quickly deteriorate, even before reaching the winter.

Peppers in sweet pouring are recommended to be closed in banks of small size (with a capacity of 0, 5-1 liters). They are more convenient to store, and this amount of snacks is enough to fill a salad bowl and serve to the table.
