- 870 g of green pepper
- 200 g of tomato paste
- 200 ml of oil
- 100 ml of vinegar
- 70 g of sugar
- 17 g of salt
- Clean the mushrooms carefully and cut them into smaller pieces. Put them in a pot, add a little water and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Drain off excess water. Add the remaining ingredients to the mushrooms and mix well.
- While the mixture is still hot, pour it into clean, prepared jars. Carefully wipe the rims of the jars to remove any mixture residue, and seal the lids tightly. Then simmer for 1-1.5 hours. After simmering, let the jars cool and store in a cool, dark place.
