Prepare sterile jars, lids, vegetables and herbs. The amount of tomatoes, bell peppers and garlic does not matter. Fill as many jars as you want, the main thing is to distribute the spices: three leaves of cherries, currants and several sprigs of fresh or dried dill per jar. Let's get started!

Wash the leaves, place them in sterile jars at the bottom, add dried or fresh dill, or dill umbrellas. Also add 1-2 cloves of garlic.

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, remove the seeds from the bell pepper, and cut the vegetable into pieces. Pierce each tomato at the stem to prevent it from bursting during the process. Place tomatoes tightly in jars, alternating them with peppers and garlic.

Now comes the most important part of canning. Pour boiling water over the tomatoes. Cover with sterile lids and leave for 7 minutes. At this time, cook the marinade: bring water to a boil, add sugar and salt, dissolve them, add vinegar. Turn off the heat. Pour boiling water into the tomatoes and pour the marinade over them. Roll up the lids and turn upside down until completely cool. Store the finished tomatoes in the cellar all winter!

How to close a tomato for the winter

Products:

Preparation:

We take ripe tomatoes; unripe ones are not suitable here. The quantity, as they say, is all “by eye”. Whether you have 5 or 10 kg of tomatoes, it doesn’t matter.

We wash the tomatoes well, if there are spoiled places somewhere, cut them off, and also remove the stalk. We pass it through a meat grinder or blender, pour everything into a large saucepan and put it on the stove.

Cook for 20 minutes, periodically removing the foam. Add salt and sugar 5 minutes before the end. I don’t add any spices, and without them I get a delicious tomato.

We will sterilize the jars with steam, 10 minutes will be enough for a liter jar, 15 minutes for a three-liter jar. Pour boiling water over the lids.

Pour the tomato into jars and roll up. Turn the jars over and cover with a blanket. Let them sit until they cool down. Well, after that, we put it in the pantry.

Some useful tips. If you are not satisfied with the thickness of the tomato after 20 minutes of cooking, then increase the time. Instead of 20 minutes, 30 or 40.

Another way. Remove the tomato from the heat and let it sit, carefully remove the liquid and boil for another 10 minutes.

There is nothing difficult about preparing homemade tomatoes, but they will come in handy in the winter more than once. And the dishes turn out much tastier and richer.

simple homemade recipe

Such a universal product as a tomato must be in every refrigerator or cellar, because... You can’t do without tomato juice or paste when preparing many dishes. If you decide to prepare several jars for the winter, then you will not go wrong, because such a dressing will be all natural, without any additives, of which there are many in store-bought analogues. To prepare this preparation from soil, you will need a minimum of ingredients and effort. It has been proven that even after heat treatment, tomatoes retain most of their nutrients. Thanks to its composition, without dyes and additional preservatives, homemade dressing will be much more beneficial than fresh tomatoes or tomato paste of unknown quality.

Ingredients:

• Tomatoes (ripe and red);
• Salt and aromatic spices to taste.

Cooking process:

Select only the ripest tomatoes; the color of the finished product directly depends on this. If you have a choice, give preference to meaty and non-acidic varieties, then the juice with pulp will be thick and more concentrated.

Wash the tomatoes, remove damaged areas and stems. Then cut the tomatoes into several pieces so that they can fit into the meat grinder compartment.

Next, pass the tomatoes through a meat grinder with a fine grid. To make a tomato at home more uniform in composition, we recommend additionally rubbing the tomato mass through a fine sieve. But then keep in mind that most of the beneficial fiber will go to waste.

You can also grind tomatoes using a blender.

For cooking you will need a large saucepan. Pour the ground tomato mass into the container of your choice. Place on the fire and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reducing the heat to low, simmer the tomato mixture for 20 minutes. This is the required minimum time; in this case, the tomato will turn out in the form of a drink. The pasta should be boiled much longer, or additionally drained through a fine sieve. Stir the sauce occasionally and skim off any foam that forms. You can add spices and peppercorns for flavor. Salt or sugar can also be used at this stage. But I don't do this at all.

Pour homemade tomatoes into sterilized jars or bottles and seal tightly with a key or screw caps. The lids should be thoroughly boiled. Store homemade tomato preparations in a cool place.

You probably noticed that we only included tomatoes. But this is a matter of taste, you can use salt, various seasonings, and you will diversify the tomato, which will already become a sauce for gravy.
