How to salt tomatoes in a jar and barrel for the winter - properly pickle red and green tomatoes. How to pickle tomatoes cold? Old and new recipes

Preface

In order to have a variety of snacks on the table in winter, it would be useful to pickle tomatoes for the winter, made according to the recipes we have proposed. Next we will look at several interesting preservation methods.

Let's start with the simplest, since many housewives prefer quick recipes. So, to prepare the preparation in a two-liter jar, you will need 1 kilogram, and with it a couple of bay leaves, the same number of dill sprigs and 2 times as many cloves of garlic. Also prepare 6 black and allspice fruits. For the brine you will need 25 grams of granulated sugar and salt, 60 grams of honey and 80 ml apple cider vinegar. Wash the tomatoes, pierce them with a fork or toothpick and place in a jar along with other ingredients for preservation.

Next, we make the brine, for which you need to boil a liter of water in a saucepan, pouring salt and sugar into it. When they dissolve, pour the resulting filling into a jar and leave to cool for an hour. Next, pour the marinade back into the pan so that no peppercorns get into the water from the jar, Bay leaf or garlic (it is better to cover the neck of the container with a plastic lid). Bring the liquid to a boil again, add honey to it, and when it dissolves, turn off the gas and add vinegar. Fill the jar with tomatoes again, roll up and set aside to cool.

Preparing brine for pickling tomatoes

The second recipe is cold pickling of tomatoes in a quick way for the winter, that is, without boiling at all. We take the products based on a three-liter jar: 2 kilograms of small tomatoes, 4–5 garlic cloves, 3 sprigs of umbrella dill and the same number of bay leaves. Also, for aroma and piquancy you will need about 10 peas of black or allspice, celery and other aromatic herbs. For brine, take 25 grams of sugar and salt per 1.5 liters of water, 80 ml of 9% table vinegar, mix it all and wait until the solid components are completely dissolved.

Place the washed tomatoes in a jar, at the bottom of which half of the garlic and dill, bay leaf, pepper, and various spicy herbs are already placed. When all the fruits are laid out in rows, tightly but not crowded, throw the remaining garlic and dill on top. Then the cold filling is sent there, after which we close the container and put it in a cold place. If you make the preparations right away a large number of, it is better to store them in a cool cellar. This preservation is infused for at least 3 weeks, but can be stored much longer. As you can see, these are very simple recipes, but we will look at the most interesting things below.

Even on their own, these red, yellow or canned ones are very tasty. But the filling adds piquancy, so we offer you the following recipes. According to the first, you will need tomatoes, garlic and parsley. We do not limit you in the number of ingredients, since, as a rule, preservation is done by eye until the tomatoes run out. We assume that a two-liter jar will fit about 1 kilo of fruit and a liter of filling. Chop the garlic cloves and parsley and mix, then, after washing the tomatoes, cut a hole in the top of each, grabbing part of the core. Add the slices there as a filling.

Now we make the brine, for which we boil water and put 50 grams of salt and 40 grams of honey for each liter. While all the ingredients are dissolved, place the stuffed tomatoes in sterilized jars, then fill the containers with hot pouring and, after waiting 10 minutes, pour them back into the pan and boil. Pour the brine into the jars again, roll them up with metal lids, turn them over and put them under a blanket to cool.

Stuffed tomatoes

Be careful, if bubbles rise from the neck to the bottom in an inverted glass container with a twist, it means that the lid was not rolled up tightly; it is recommended to open it and repeat the preservation process again.

The second recipe will allow you to prepare tomatoes with an even richer taste; for twists you need approximately 1.5 kilos of dense tomatoes for each three-liter container (so that the fruits lie quite loosely). For the filling, take 1.5 kilos of carrots and the same amount of sweet bell pepper, 5 medium heads of garlic, a small bunch of parsley and 1-2 pods of hot pepper (to taste). Chop and mix all the ingredients needed for stuffing. We cut the washed and stemmed tomato fruits into a third on the side and fill them with filling.

We sterilize the jars and put parsley on the bottom of each jar (you can use sprigs left over from slicing), a dozen black or allspice peas and several bay leaves. Place tomatoes in containers. We make a brine, for which we take 5 liters of water, boil it and pour it into a container (the indicated volume is enough for 3 three-liter jars), and after half an hour we pour it into a saucepan and bring it to a boil again. Dissolve 125 grams of salt and 2 times more sugar in water, as well as one and a half glasses of 9% vinegar. We fill the containers again, roll them up with lids and put them under the blanket to cool, placing them with the neck down.

Here we present recipes that can hardly be called common. And to begin with, we suggest making a preparation of tomatoes and apples. A three-liter jar requires about 1.5 kilos of tomatoes and 4-5 medium-sized sour apples. The fruits need to be washed, and their stalks should also be removed. We sterilize the jars, put 4-5 cloves of garlic and 2-3 sprigs (umbrellas) of dill on the bottom of each, you can also add bay leaves, cloves and other spices. Place the fruits in the container. Now boil the water and fill the containers with it. After 10 minutes, pour it into the pan, put it on the gas again until it boils and add 25 grams of sugar and salt, wait for them to dissolve and pour them into jars, trying to make the brine rise to the edge of the neck. Roll up, turn over and set aside to cool.

Preparation of tomatoes and apples

The next recipe with a minimum of ingredients is tomatoes with cinnamon, which is quite rarely (and in vain) practiced by housewives. So, for 5 kilograms of tomatoes we take 10 bay leaves and 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon powder. That’s it, nothing else is needed for the preparation, except for brine, which will require 50 grams of salt per 1 liter of water. We sterilize three-liter jars, then you need to wash the tomatoes and put them in containers. Now boil the water and pour it into jars, leave to simmer for 20 minutes. Next, pour the liquid into a saucepan, bring it to a boil again and, adding the bay leaf with cinnamon, keep it on low heat for up to 5 minutes. We fill the jars with brine and roll them up with metal lids, then turn them over and put them under the blanket.

But the following recipes can be called pickling only conditionally. Salt is necessary for preservation and therefore must be added, but the taste of the snacks will be rather sweet due to the high sugar content. So, first, let's make tomatoes in gelatin. You will need small green tomatoes, 0.6 kilos for each liter jar, also prepare a few cloves of garlic, a pod of hot pepper and a bay leaf (quantity as desired). For brine, per liter of water you need to take 80 grams of sugar and 25 grams of salt, 80 milliliters of apple cider vinegar, and 1.5 tablespoons of dry gelatin.

Preserving tomatoes in gelatin

Tomatoes should be washed, stemmed and cut into halves or quarters. Then we sterilize the jars and place the tomato slices with other ingredients for the preparation in the container. Now we make the brine. First, dissolve the gelatin granules in a glass of warm water, pour it into the future brine, add sugar and salt and boil for 15 minutes. Then cool slightly, add apple cider vinegar and immediately pour into containers with tomatoes. Place the jars in a pan of heated water on a wooden stand or folded towel and pasteurize over low heat for about 20 minutes.. Now the delicious chopped pickled green tomatoes are rolled up for the winter and cooled upside down.

And finally, a very unusual recipe, for which you will need 4 three-liter jars, about 6.5 kilograms of tomatoes and 4 bunches of carrot tops, which in itself is non-standard. But the proportions of the components for the brine are even more original: for 5 liters of water you need to take 350 milliliters of 6% vinegar, 125 grams of salt and 2.5 faceted glasses of sugar. Tomatoes and tops need to be washed and dried. We sterilize the jars and place whole sprigs of carrot greens on the bottom of each, a bunch per container. We place the tomatoes there, then boil water and pour it into the container, leaving it to simmer for 15 minutes under the lids.

The next step is preparing the filling itself. Drain the liquid from all the cans into a saucepan, bring to a boil and add all the ingredients into it, as the recipe indicates. Keep it on low gas for no more than 3 minutes until the sugar and salt dissolve, then pour it into containers, thus obtaining a sweet pickled tomato with tops for the winter. All that remains is to roll up the jars with metal lids, which were previously in boiling water for a few seconds, and you can put the jars to cool under a blanket, not forgetting to turn them upside down. Now you have a sweet snack for the winter, cooked in brine.

To make 9% vinegar, you need to dilute 70% essence 1 to 7 parts, and for 6% the proportion of shares is 1:11. But it’s best to use apple cider vinegar for twists; it’s healthier than table vinegar.

Harvesting tomatoes for the winter has a huge number of cooking options. The most popular of them, oddly enough, are not particularly complex. Experienced housewives know how to pickle tomatoes in jars for the winter - simple recipes include a minimum of ingredients: vegetables, water, salt and spices.

Cold pickling without vinegar

To preserve the maximum amount of vitamins and microelements in tomatoes, they should be salted without using vinegar. No matter how diverse the recipes for this method of pickling may be, they have one thing in common: storage conditions. The snack will be suitable for consumption only if stored at low temperatures.

Red tomatoes

For cooking, we select vegetables of the same size and varieties with similar taste characteristics.

Ingredients:

  • ripe tomatoes – 3 kg;
  • table salt – 15 g;
  • water – 0.4 l;
  • garlic – 8 cloves;
  • bell pepper – 1 medium;
  • hot pepper – ½ pcs.;
  • dill inflorescences – 5 pcs.

Preparation:

Put water on the fire. After boiling, dissolve the salt in it. Return to the stove and let it boil again. Remove from the cooking surface and cool the brine to room temperature. Place the peeled garlic and prepared sweet and hot peppers (without stems and seeds) into a blender and grind into a paste.
We fill jars disinfected in the microwave with vegetables. We alternate the layers with dressing and fill the containers with marinade. Cover the pickles with a nylon lid and put them in the refrigerator. After a couple of weeks, the snack can be placed on the table.

Green tomatoes

Green tomatoes that are richer in taste and denser in consistency can also be salted without vinegar.

Ingredients:

  • unripe tomatoes – 0.4 kg;
  • water – 0.4 l;
  • salt – 15 g;
  • currants (preferably black) – 4 leaves;
  • dill - a pair of inflorescences;
  • garlic – 5 shares;
  • horseradish – 2 medium or 1 large leaves;
  • allspice – 2 peas.

Preparation:

We heat glass jars over steam. Chop the garlic cloves and horseradish leaves with a knife. Place some of the seasoning at the bottom of the container and sprinkle it on each layer of green fruit. Salt water at room temperature and fill the contents of the jars with marinade. Cover with a polyethylene lid. We place the jars in a cool place, such as a cellar. During the month, we open the container twice to allow fresh air to enter the snack. After 4 weeks, the pickles are ready for tasting.

Classic recipe for salted tomatoes per 1 liter

Knowing the classic version with a dosage per 1 liter of product yield, you can experiment with both the volume and the ingredients of the winter tomato snack. The main thing is to strictly observe the proportions.

Ingredients:

  • medium-sized tomatoes – 7-8 pcs.;
  • water – 400 g;
  • salt – 12 g;
  • sugar – 15 g;
  • acetic acid (72%) – 15 g;
  • garlic – 4 cloves;
  • horseradish root – 50-70 g;
  • peppercorns – 4 pcs.;
  • bay leaf – 2 pcs.

Preparation:

Place the washed and peeled garlic and horseradish roots, peppercorns and bay leaves into the bottom of a sterilized jar. Fill the container with vegetables, cover the top with dill umbrellas. Boil filtered water in a saucepan and pour in the tomatoes. Seal everything with a plastic lid for 20 minutes. After a third of an hour, put the liquid on the fire again, stir sugar and salt in it and let it boil. Pour the brine into a jar, carefully add a spoonful of vinegar essence on top and roll it up with a tin lid. We place the containers upside down and cover them with warmth (blanket, bedspread, terry towels, etc.) for a day. Readiness period – 3-4 weeks.

To ensure that the appetizer has a marketable appearance when served, vegetables should not be compacted when filling the jar. In tight spaces they will certainly crack. An additional precaution in this regard is to pierce the fruit near the stalk. By the way, it is better not to remove it: a treat with a twig looks more appetizing.

Hot method of pickling tomatoes with vinegar

This option for preparing tomatoes using vinegar has many varieties: this is how dried and pickled vegetables, sweet, bitter and spicy, are pickled. One of the most popular and simple recipes is a version using garlic cloves, dill inflorescences and foliage from garden trees. The recipe is based on ingredients for a three-liter container.

Ingredients:

  • tomatoes – 11-16 pcs. (depending on size);
  • salt – 30 g;
  • sugar – 75 g;
  • water – 1.2 l;
  • black currant – 4 leaves;
  • wild cherry – 3 leaves;
  • horseradish leaves - 1 medium;
  • dill inflorescences – 3 pcs.;
  • garlic – 6 cloves;
  • laurel – 3 leaves;
  • black pepper – 6 pcs.;
  • coriander – 5 pcs.;
  • acetic acid (72%) – 1 tablespoon.

Preparation:

We wash vegetables, leaves and inflorescences of plants. We heat the glass in the microwave. First pour the pepper into the glass container, then the coriander, garlic cloves and bay leaf. Fill the jar with tomatoes. Pour boiling water and leave the food to warm up for half an hour. After this time, drain the marinade, add salt and dilute the required amount of sugar in it. We bring the temperature to 100 degrees again.
Add cherry, currant and horseradish leaves and dill umbrellas to the jars. Fill everything with brine and add a spoonful of vinegar on top. We close the jars with tin lids, turn them over and cover them with a blanket for 10 hours.

Salted barrel tomatoes

The special taste of barrel salted tomatoes can be reproduced in urban environments. For this you do not need a large oak barrel; its analogue will be a bucket made of food-grade plastic. Otherwise, everything remains the same as in the old Russian recipe.

Ingredients:

  • tomato – 2500 g;
  • coarse salt – 90g;
  • water – 2500 ml;
  • horseradish – 5 leaves and 70-100 g of roots;
  • cherry leaves – 16 pcs.;
  • currant leaves – 12 pcs.;
  • dill inflorescences – 4 pcs.;
  • basil (greens) – 2 plants;
  • mint – 7-8 leaves;
  • laurel – 4 leaves;
  • garlic – 4 cloves and 7 arrows;
  • hot pepper – 1 pc.;
  • allspice – 4 peas;
  • coriander – 8 pcs.;
  • mustard seeds – 10 pcs.

Preparation:

We thoroughly wash all products and clean the horseradish roots. We form an “air cushion” at the bottom: lay out half of the spices. Leaves of bushes and mint, horseradish; slices of garlic arrows cut into cubes; Umbrellas of dill and basil will preserve the presentation of the pickles.

We pierce each tomato with a wooden toothpick in the area of ​​the stalk to speed up the fermentation process. We fill a bucket with fruits, put the remaining components of our “pillow” on top, as well as the burning pod.

To prepare the marinade, salt boiling water and add granulated sugar, bay leaf and peppercorns, mustard seeds and coriander. As soon as the brine boils, fill the tomatoes completely. The process of immersing vegetables in water must be gradual, otherwise the skin will crack. Any remaining marinade should end up in the bucket. Once the brine has seeped all the way to the bottom and covered the spices that are on top, you can begin the final stage of pickling.

Instead of a lid, we use a plate of slightly smaller diameter, on which we install the oppression. The marinade should seep out from under our press plate, which will indicate that the contents of the container are completely immersed in the brine.

Leave the snack for 24 hours at room temperature. During this time, fermentation will appear in the form of foam on the surface of the plate, and the brine in the bucket will become cloudy. After 4-5 days, the solution will become noticeably lighter, and the tomatoes will decrease in volume. This means that the fermentation process has taken place.

Remove the weight, remove the plate and close the bucket with a tight lid. This snack should be stored either in the refrigerator or in the cellar. The salting will be completely ready in a month and can be eaten until next autumn.

The marinade actively penetrates into the fetus during the first two weeks. Then the process slows down and finally disappears after three months. This means that the vegetables become lightly salted and ready to eat within a couple of weeks after twisting. They collect salt until about December and then retain their taste unchanged for the entire remaining shelf life.

Salting with halves

If the harvest is successful in size, the pickling process comes to a dead end: the fruits do not pass through the neck of the jar. In this case, a recipe for salting tomatoes in halves always helps out.

With sunflower oil

Simple and quick recipe In addition to the usual ingredients, it includes vegetable oil. It makes the snack more delicate in taste. The quantity of products is calculated for a container with a volume of 1 liter.

Ingredients:

  • tomato – 0.7 kg;
  • salt – 15 g;
  • sugar – 25 g;
  • garlic – 2 cloves;
  • parsley - 3 sprigs;
  • bay leaf – 1 pc.;
  • black pepper – 2 peas;
  • citric acid – 1 tsp;
  • vegetable oil – 1 tbsp;
  • hot pepper – 1 pc.

Preparation:

We wash the food, peel the pepper and garlic. Cut large tomatoes in half. Fill a clean container with vegetables, and place parsley and garlic cloves there. For the marinade, add bay leaves and peppercorns to boiling water, add salt and dissolve granulated sugar and citric acid. Fill the jars with the solution, leave the vegetables to soak and warm up for 30 minutes. Then drain the marinade, bring its temperature to 100 degrees on the fire a second time and pour it into the pickles. Gently place a spoonful of vegetable oil on top. Roll up with tin lids, wrap in heat for 10 hours and put in a cool place for storage.

With mustard

An increased number of mustard grains compared to the usual proportions can radically change the taste of a familiar product. The pickle turns out to be sweet and sour with a spicy, unique bitterness.

Ingredients:

  • tomatoes – 750 g;
  • salt – 12 g;
  • sugar – 60 g;
  • garlic – 3 cloves;
  • mustard seeds – 20 g;
  • vinegar essence – 5 g;
  • allspice – 2 peas;
  • dill greens – 4 sprigs;
  • hot pepper – ½ pc.

Preparation:

Cut the selected and washed fruits into two halves. First of all, pour the mustard seeds and garlic into the container, then place the vegetables, pulp side down, and dill on top.

Prepare the marinade. We dilute bulk products in boiling water, then add pepper. Fill the halves with brine for half an hour. To re-boil, drain the marinade using a nylon lid with a spout and special holes. Bring the marinade to a boil over the heat and immediately pour it over the warm tomatoes.

Close the lids using a seaming machine. Turn it upside down and cover it with a blanket for half a day. After complete cooling, store at a temperature no higher than 10 degrees.

With celery

Not the most common recipe for halves with celery surprises not only with its piquant taste, but also with its unusual appearance. To prevent the snack from turning into a mushy mass, the choice should be made on fleshy specimens with medium-thick skin. This will allow the products to retain their appetizing appearance after heat treatment.

Ingredients:

  • tomatoes – 1200 g;
  • green celery – 2 branches;
  • black pepper – 3 peas;
  • dill inflorescences – 2 pcs.;
  • cilantro – 3 sprigs;
  • garlic – 6 cloves;
  • salt – 30 g;
  • sugar – 25 g;
  • citric acid – 1 tsp.

Preparation:

We blanch most of the clean, halved tomatoes and place them in a glass container, where pepper, chopped celery stalks and cilantro are already placed. Simmer the remaining vegetables over low heat for 15 minutes. Salt and dissolve sugar and citric acid. Make the dressing homogeneous using a blender. To get rid of the seeds, rub the resulting mixture through a sieve. Fill the halves with sauce in a glass jar and close with a lid.

Here you can use threaded lids or use a seaming machine. The main thing is that the contents of the container are hot.

The best salt for working with tomatoes is rock salt, “Extra” class. Iodized fine salt is definitely not recommended for pickling. Its crystals penetrate too quickly into the fruit, iodine changes the normal rate of fermentation. As a result, you can get soft, moldy fruits of indeterminate shape - if the jar simply does not explode during the first three weeks.

  1. For canning, you should choose fruits without flaws of approximately the same size and variety. A harvest harvested on a warm, sunny day is preferable.
  2. Before salting, glass containers are disinfected over steam, in the oven or in the microwave for half an hour. Tin lids are sterilized in boiling water.
  3. Almost all varieties of tomatoes are suitable for winter harvesting. Red, yellow, brown, unripe green fruits look great on the table whole or cut. If the vegetable is not soft enough, it can be blanched.
  4. The minimum products that need to be stocked up before salting, except tomatoes, are garlic, horseradish roots, dill inflorescences and, of course, sugar, salt and vinegar.
  5. Regardless of the composition of the marinade, the storage temperature of pickles should not rise above 10 degrees. The shelf life of this type of snack is one year under appropriate conditions.

Conclusion

The answer to the question of how to pickle tomatoes in jars for the winter is not complicated. Simple recipes and affordable products allow you to prepare fruits in the shortest possible time. The main thing is not to forget three rules.

  1. Dishes, vegetables and spices must be perfectly clean.
  2. Do not experiment with new recipes on the entire available harvest.
  3. Do not serve food from jars with bulging lids, foam or mold inside.

Any treat should improve the health of loved ones, please with an appetizing appearance and surprise with its variety of flavors.

Above is only half of the portion, which is designed for three 3-liter jars. If you have nowhere to store such tomatoes, I think you will find a place for these jars in your refrigerator. And if you have a cellar, great, feel free to make the whole batch and in the end you will get six 3-liter very tasty tomatoes.

1. Let's prepare all the necessary products, along with the container. You need to take the jars clean, maybe with a slight defect. That is, there may be a broken piece on the neck. I also put them in jars like this. Because they do not need to be rolled up, but only covered with plastic lids.

Rinse the tomatoes under cold running water. Rinse the celery with water and shake lightly. Peel the garlic. All other ingredients do not need to be washed.

2. Now, at the bottom of the jars we put 2 bay leaves, 10 allspice peas, three cloves of garlic, cut into several pieces, a sprig of celery and dill.

Next, fill the jars with tomatoes as tightly as possible. Add 2 more cloves of garlic, celery and dill to the almost filled jars. That's almost all. All that remains is to prepare the brine. In this recipe I will have it cold.

3. Pour exactly 3.5 liters of water into the pan. It is advisable to take water from springs, wells and, at worst, tap water. But she needs to stand for at least a day. But if you are confident in your tap water that it is super, feel free to fill it with that too. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about our water. So, pour salt, sugar and vinegar into a container with measured water.

Aspirin is not added to prevent the tomatoes from becoming moldy. They make tomatoes taste completely different. One day I asked the owner of this recipe, Lucia Ivanovna, maybe aspirin is not needed here. To which she replied that without aspirin, tomatoes don’t turn out as tasty. Mix everything well. The taste of the brine is moderately salty, sweet and slightly sour. Let the brine settle for a bit and pour in ours. There is exactly enough brine for these jars. Now that the brine has been poured, you need to add 3 aspirin tablets to each jar on top.

4. That's all, we close the jars with plastic lids and send them to the cellar or refrigerator. You will be able to taste the tomatoes in a couple of weeks. Have a little patience and the result will not keep you waiting long.

Here is a quick and very tasty recipe for pickling tomatoes for the winter, prepared in a cold way. I hope you liked the recipe for pickling tomatoes for the winter. Send your comments, share your impressions. If anyone has any questions, please ask. I will be happy to answer them.

Have a nice day, and maybe even evening, and see you again!

Pickling vegetables has always been the best way to prepare them for future use. Thanks to the large amount of salt and lactic acid, vegetables are stored well for a long time, because it is salt that kills many putrefactive bacteria, which cause vegetables to spoil under normal conditions.

Almost any vegetables can be salted: cabbage, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes.

The technology for pickling some vegetables - for example, cucumbers and tomatoes - is almost the same. But there are some features that housewives should be aware of.

Subtleties of cooking

  • Plum-shaped tomatoes are best suited for pickling - such as Fakel, Humbert, New Transnistria, De Barao, Mayak, Titan, Volgogradsky, Ermak, Gribovsky, Bison. These tomatoes have a thick skin, they are fleshy and are not so deformed when salted.
  • Ripe tomatoes produce products of excellent quality, but they are often deformed during the pickling process, so such tomatoes must be handled very carefully.
  • Pickles made from tomatoes of pink ripeness and blanzhevoy are not damaged during pickling and are very tasty when finished. Green tomatoes, as well as fruits of milky ripeness, are often salted.
  • Unlike cucumbers, which can be pickled in large barrels, it is advisable to pickle tomatoes in a small container. In it they will not crumple under their own weight. Therefore, the best containers for pickling tomatoes are glass jars with a capacity of 3 to 10 liters.
  • The technology for pickling tomatoes is the same as for cucumbers. But due to the fact that tomatoes contain more sugar, a little more salt is required for pickling them. For ripe tomatoes, prepare brine at the rate of 500-700 g of salt per 10 liters of water. For brown and green tomatoes, take 600-800 g of salt per 10 liters of water.
  • Calculating the amount of tomatoes and brine is easy. When the tomatoes are packed tightly into the jar, half of its volume remains for brine. For example, 500-600 g of tomatoes and 500 ml of brine are placed in a liter jar, 1.5 kg of tomatoes and 1.5 liters of brine are placed in a three-liter jar. Of course, there may be an error of 100 ml or 100 g in one direction or the other. It all depends on the size of the tomatoes and the packing density.
  • Tomatoes have a pronounced taste and aroma, so pickling them requires half as much herbs as cucumbers. The most commonly used are dill, garlic, red pepper, blackcurrant leaves, celery, parsley, and tarragon. Along with this greenery, cherry or oak leaves, rich in tannins, are added. Thanks to them, the tomatoes are strong and elastic.
  • Tomatoes, especially unripe ones, contain solanine, so fermentation proceeds more slowly than that of cucumbers, and at a temperature of 15-20° it ends in about 2 weeks.
  • There are many recipes for salted tomatoes. They can be spicy, non-spicy, with sweet pepper, garlic, with cherry and blackcurrant leaves. They are pickled in tomato juice, mustard, cinnamon and even sugar.
  • Salted tomatoes are stored in glass jars in a room with an air temperature of 0 to 2°. Tomatoes are ready in about 1-1.5 months.

Salted tomatoes in jars: classic

  • red tomatoes – 1.5 kg;
  • red pepper - pod;

  • Fill with brine. Place the jars in a room with an air temperature of 15-20°. Close with nylon lids. Leave for 2 weeks. During this time, lactic acid fermentation will occur: the brine will become cloudy, part of it will be absorbed into the tomatoes.
  • Free the surface of the tomatoes from mold and foam. Add fresh saline solution up to the neck of the jars.
  • Seal the jars hermetically with sterile lids and put them in a cold room or put them in the refrigerator.
