  • Before you start canning, make sure everything is prepped. The fresh-frozen sprats should have their heads and tails removed (with larger fish, clean out the insides too) and be rinsed under running water; the tomatoes washed until they gleam; the carrots and onions peeled. All set? Then let's begin. Run the tomatoes through a meat grinder and dip the fish into boiling water for a second. Finely chop the onions and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Pour the processed tomatoes into a cooking pot, add the onion and carrot, and cook for 40 minutes. Add the vegetable oil, tomato paste, salt, sugar, and sprats. Simmer over low heat, stirring regularly. Prepare your jars and lids for canning — they must be sterilized. Pack the finished sprats into the jars and seal them. Your go-to standby for any occasion is ready.
