Tomatoes in halves for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Immediately you need to prepare cans for the billet, it is better to take a volume of 0.5 liters so that the billet is eaten at a time. I wash the soda cans, sterilize them in one of the convenient ways. I like the preparation of cans in the oven, it turns out quickly and a lot of dishes for preservation. We put the cans wet on the grill in the oven, bottom up, turn on the oven at 150 degrees and keep them for about 10 minutes.

2. Step 2:

   

   Tomatoes are washed, let the water drain, cut them into two parts. If the fruits are very large, it is possible for four. Onions are cleaned from the husk, cut it into rings, if the bulbs are too large, then you can cut them into feathers or halves of rings. Garlic cloves are cleaned from the film, cut them into two parts.

3. Step 3:

   

   Herbs and spices for preservation: currant leaves, cherries, horseradish, dill umbrellas, parsley leaves, bay leaf are thoroughly washed and dried. If desired, you can use other spices and additives. I like the taste of canned tomatoes, when not only a horseradish leaf is added, but also the root, the marinade turns out to be more fragrant and rich in taste, and the tomatoes themselves are soaked in the marinade.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put garlic cloves, herbs, bay leaf, peppers on the bottom of sterile jars.

6. Step 5:

   

   We put the cooked tomatoes and onions in jars, alternating them with each other. We stack the vegetables tightly, but do not crumple the tomatoes so that they do not let the juice.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put sugar and salt on top, pour boiling water. A little more or less water may go away, depending on how tightly the vegetables are packed in jars. Pour vinegar into the jars.

8. Step 7:

   

   We put cans of tomatoes to be sterilized in a saucepan with water. It is necessary to put a cloth on the bottom of the pan so that the cans do not burst when heated, the cans should also not touch each other, keep on fire for 10 minutes from the moment the water boils in the pan. We roll up the jars with lids. Let the workpiece cool down upside down, under a blanket. We put it away for storage in the pantry. Bon appetit!
