Method

1

Core the bell peppers and cut them into strips or wedges.

2

Process the tomatoes through a meat grinder or juicer to yield about 2 kg of tomato juice.

3

Slice the onions into thin strips. Heat the oil in a large pot, add the onions, and sauté for 10–15 minutes until translucent.

4

Pour in the tomato juice and bring to a boil. Add the peppers, salt, and sugar.

5

Once it returns to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

6

Stir in the vinegar 5 minutes before it's done.

7

Pack the hot letcho into sterilized jars, seal tightly, turn upside down, and wrap in a blanket until completely cooled.
