Tasty Facts

– Salt is better to take coarse grinding. Fill a tablespoon with salt (and sugar) with a small slide.

– Put the tomatoes in a jar tightly, but try not to press. A three-liter jar filled with tomatoes contains about 1.2 liters of brine.

– Vinegar essence can be added to boiling brine, but it is better to pour under the lid of the jar just before capping. In this case, it will be possible to avoid the spread of the smell of vinegar in the room. 80% vinegar essence can be replaced with 9% vinegar, but you need to take it 9 times more. You can do without vinegar at all, 1 teaspoon per 3-liter jar, pour it right before adding the marinade to the tomatoes.

– For pickling, dill umbrellas with seeds are taken – they give a more pronounced taste and smell. Cherry leaves, containing a lot of phytoncides and tannins, are added so that canned food is better stored, and the tomatoes themselves do not lose their shape and are elastic.

– Wash jars and lids in advance with hot water and baking soda. Carefully washed jars can not be sterilized. Three-liter jars with pickled tomatoes should be closed with metal lids using a seamer.

– When pickling tomatoes for long-term storage, not only the double filling method (used in the recipe) is used, but also sterilization. To do this, cover jars with tomatoes filled with hot brine, cover with lids and put in a wide pan, which is filled with boiling water, so that it reaches the shoulders of the jar. Heat over low heat for 15 minutes, then remove the jars, pour in the vinegar essence and cork with lids. With this method of preparation, it is not necessary to wrap hot jars with a blanket.

– Calorie content of pickled tomatoes – about 16 kcal / 100 grams.

– Pickled tomatoes, if eaten in moderation, are healthy, because. contain lycopene, a red carotenoid pigment with antioxidant properties.

– The garlic in the recipe can be put whole, but if you cut it anyway, it will give all its sharpness to the marinade.
