But tomatoes can be eaten not only fresh, but also acidic, salty, soaked and many more.
There are a lot of options for harvesting tomatoes for the winter . Often the same recipe is prepared from year to year. But, whatever one may say, you always want something new, not yet tried and necessarily tasty.

Everything is there, and what to do next? Wash the tomatoes, of course. Are you done? Now we are doing what, in fact, helps our tomatoes to salt out quickly - we cut off the “buttocks”. Since the peel of the tomato is quite dense, it takes a lot of time to salt the whole vegetable, and this little trick will speed up the salting process.
For about ten tomatoes, take a tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of sugar. For lovers of thrills, you can also add finely chopped garlic, because additional seasonings will never spoil the taste, but only open it even more.
Full scope of fantasy
You can fantasize yourself a little and add something of your own. Then you will definitely get pickled tomatoes in a package that no one has yet made.
So, fantasized with spices. What do we do next? We put all our ingredients in a bag (tomatoes, salt, sugar, garlic and your fantasies), pinch the edge of the bag and, while dancing, shake it to evenly distribute the spices. To preserve the integrity of the package, we wrap it in another one, and we can safely tie it. The first time you need to store it in a warm place and periodically shake. And after two or three days you can enjoy the result of short work.

Making stocks
Wait a second! This is all, of course, good: did - ate! But every four to five days to prepare such a package is also somehow not very good, especially since in winter you will not buy up tasteless tomatoes that will not save even the most aromatic herbs. But there is a way out - salted tomatoes in bags for the winter. Such a recipe, of course, requires a more thorough approach to storage. Let's discuss everything in more detail.
Packages are a standard attribute of this recipe, as you probably already guessed. Next, take one or two kilograms of red tomatoes, although you can brown, only tight. And then the soft ones, you know, will turn into something that you can then drink or eat with a spoon. We don’t need such an effect, is it? Next, wash the tomatoes again. And here is a small nuance - you don’t need to cut off the “buttocks” anymore, it's tomatoes for the winter. Therefore, they will have enough time to salt out. We put them in a bag. There are all the spices and seasonings that you love and know. You can just add a classic composition, like a grandmother. Now the process is becoming more complicated - tomatoes in the bag must be poured with brine. But his recipe is as simple as possible - two tablespoons of salt per liter of water.
Little secrets
Done? Poured into the package? But now it is necessary to tie it up so that there is no air left in it, and he could not get in there. And so do so many packets of tomatoes until they run out (tomatoes, of course). The next step is to put all the resulting packages in a barrel or tank. These containers should be stocked ahead of time, and they should, of course, be clean. When you have finished laying the packages with tomatoes, you need to do one more small thing - pour them again with brine so that it covers the packages on top by at least four to five centimeters.
Did you notice that packets popped up after that? So, so that they do not swim, you need to put a little weight on top, which will not crush the tomatoes to death, but slightly push them to the bottom. That's all! It should only be noted that the mold, which will eventually appear on the brine, is superfluous, and it will need to be periodically removed.
Now you can enjoy salted tomatoes in a bag all winter with pleasure, and even drink a wonderful and very tasty pickle. Enjoy your meal!
