We can say that this is a universal dish that will help the hostess at the right time.
Juicy tomatoes
Having opened a delicious tomato in your own juice in winter , you can supplement any dish and make it original. But for this it is necessary to prepare a snack in the fall, when a mass gathering takes place. For this, you need to take two kilograms of ripe, dense and two kilograms of soft, well-ripened (you can ripe) tomatoes. This is the main product. You will also need 6 cloves of peeled garlic, a quarter cup of grated horseradish, two large tablespoons of salt, 4 large tablespoons of sugar and 250 grams of sweet pepper. We start by preparing the fill. Rinse and ripened tomatoes, wash and cut into pieces. Then put them in a pan and pour a little water. When the tomatoes boil, wipe them through a sieve. It turns juice juice.
Then add sugar and salt to it, mix and put the pan back on the stove. Chop the garlic thoroughly, and pepper through a meat grinder. After that, add grated horseradish, garlic and pepper to the tomato. In advance it is necessary to prepare banks (it is obligatory to sterilize). Wash strong tomatoes and prick with a wooden toothpick. We put them in jars and pour boiling
tomato. Tomato in its own juice must be sterilized for about 25 minutes, and then close the lids. We leave them to cool completely in the room, and then move them to a colder place.
Peeled tomatoes
Such tomatoes are more convenient in future use. The necessary amount of vegetables should be blanched. To do this, cut the skin of each tomato crosswise. Then put them in boiling water for 2.5 minutes. Prepare a container with cold water in advance. Immediately drop the tomatoes into it. Such an operation makes it easy to peel them. We lay tomatoes without skin in sterilized jars. There we put chopped garlic, bay leaf, sweet and bitter pepper and celery. Now prepare the tomato sauce. We grind mashed tomatoes with a meat grinder or grind it through a sieve, as in the previous recipe. Add to this mass (per 1 liter) a small spoonful of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar and boil. Then immediately pour into jars. We must sterilize the tomato in our own juice for 15 minutes. Then close the lids and store in a cold room.
Tomato Slices
First, blanch tomatoes, peel and cut into slices. Then put them in jars and fill in 1 small spoon of salt and 1 large spoon of sugar (per liter jar). Then sterilize the workpiece for about 15 minutes. At the end of cooking, add two tablespoons of vinegar (9%). This is the salting of tomatoes in its own juice, so we do not add anything else. Roll up the covers and wrap. This is how you can cook tomatoes in slices in your own juice.
