Delicious sweet pickled tomatoes in liter jars
The recipe does not use herbs, only a minimal set of spices, but at the same time the fruits are aromatic and very tasty. The recipe is for a 3 liter jar, or you can prepare 3 1 liter jars.
Ingredients:
- 1.6-1.8 kg tomatoes (+/-)
For the marinade:
- 1.5 liters of water
- 1 tbsp. l. salt (with a slide)
- 200 g sugar
- 3 bay leaves
- 5 black peppercorns
- 5 allspice peas
- 3 carnation buds
- 1/2 tsp dill seed
- 100 ml table vinegar 9%
From the specified amount of ingredients, 3 liter cans are obtained.
Before making the blanks, you need to boil the jars and lids. I cook in swirl jars. Sterilization of the jars is an essential process. To begin with, the cans need to be washed, and then spread over a kettle, or a saucepan, in the oven. Fill the lids with water and boil.
Tomatoes, I have sorts of cream, they need to be washed, I lay them out on the table, which I cover with a towel, in one layer so that they are not wet. To prevent the tomatoes from bursting, you need to pierce them with a toothpick in the area of the stalk, or make a cruciform incision, or pierce with a fork crosswise.
Take fruits that are dense, without damage, preferably of the same variety and size. Choose only good quality vegetables. If you want to take large ones, then it is better to cut them for liter cans.
Carefully pour boiling water over it, at intervals so that the cans get used to it and do not burst. Pour 100 grams into each jar, then another 200 grams, so the jars will "go through" with steam and will not burst, so you need to top up.
To prevent the jars from bursting, you can pour boiling water over a spoon. Pour the spoon over with boiled water, and place it over the tomatoes, gently pour in a thin stream. Or pour a little boiling water into each jar.
We cover the jars with sterile lids and leave them to warm up for 15 minutes. We will prepare a marinade from this water. We will have it based on 1.5 liters of water, if you have drained the water and you have less than half a liter, you need to add boiled water from the kettle.
Drain with a special lid. We remove the sterile one, put on the lid with holes, and drain. They are different, the cheapest is plastic.
We put the water on the fire, add salt, sugar, bay leaf, allspice, and peppercorns, dill seeds. They can be bought at the market or in the pharmacy, they will give a wonderful taste and aroma to the marinade.
We mix everything so that the free-flowing ingredients dissolve. Cook for 2 minutes from the moment of boiling. At the end, pour in 100 ml. table vinegar 9%.
Turn off the heat, and immediately fill the jars of tomatoes with boiling marinade.Fill with marinade to the very top, so that the water even overflows. We tighten the lids and turn over the cans.
We turn the jars with the lid down, wrap them well with a jacket, towel, warm blanket, or blanket. Leave it to cool completely.
After cooling down, we return the cans to their normal state, and put them back where they will be stored. After 1.5 months, you can already try and enjoy the delicious favorite preservation.
Ideal tomato for winter storage ...
Tomatoes are preserved whole and in slices. Preference is given to small fruits: round, like cherries, or vice versa, elongated-oval (plum or pear-shaped), which is rational when filling small jars. Before the culinary procedure, the tomatoes must be face-controlled.
- Maturity. We choose without a stalk, the color should be uniform, homogeneous, saturated, without greens (an overripe tomato is not suitable because of its increased juiciness).
- Color. It can be completely different: light yellow, orange, lemon, dark red, purple or almost black.
- Smell. Characteristic "tomato", without unpleasant additional aromas.
- "Correct" form. Growths on the surface, obvious asymmetry, accreted tomatoes are signs of mutation, growing on top dressing and hormonal fertilizers.
- Skin. Elastic, resistant to cracking, without defects (dark spots, white spots, cracks, rot) speaks of healthy vegetables.
- Content. The pulp is fleshy, firm, not fibrous. The seed chambers are small and the seeds are small.
Classification of varieties
The modern biological diversity of tomatoes is impressive: thanks to the “excitement” of breeders, there are currently over 2 thousand varieties of tomatoes. The guarantee of good taste of canned tomatoes and a long shelf life is the right choice of the variety, since not all tomatoes are suitable for this purpose. Tomatoes are divided into five groups according to their varietal diversity.
- Salad. Grown for fresh consumption, they include all large-fruited species.
- Dessert. These are small-fruited cherry-type tomatoes.
- Salting. Varieties with a high sugar concentration.
- For conservation. Suitable for various marinade compositions.
- Sauce. Designed for homemade snacks, ketchups.
In addition to special varieties for canning (Sanka, Lyana, Kibits, Ladies' fingers, De Barao, Yubileiny Tarasenko, Yablonka Rossii), small-fruited salad and dessert varieties are used for spinning. To ensure their safety in jars, food preservatives (vinegar, citric acid, aspirin) are used.

The benefits of pickled tomatoes
It is common knowledge that pickles with marinades are tasty, but not particularly healthy. Nevertheless, canned tomatoes can boast of considerable value for the body. Many beneficial substances contained in raw vegetables are preserved during salting and pickling, moreover, some of them even acquire a more easily digestible form.
For example, a tomato removed from a can or barrel has 3 times more lycopene (a natural antioxidant) than a vegetable brought from a garden.
When harvested in tomatoes, quercetin is preserved - a natural antibiotic that strengthens the immune system and contributes to the recovery of the body after heavy physical exertion.
Tomatoes (including pickled ones) contain a lot of vitamin K, potassium, germanium and choline, which helps to lower blood cholesterol levels.
