Juicy tomatoes

Opening a tasty tomato in your own juice in winter , you can add any dish and make it original. But for this it is necessary to prepare a snack from autumn, when there is a massive collection. For this, you need to take two kilograms of ripe, dense and two kilograms of soft, well ripe (can ripe) tomatoes. This is the main product. You will also need 6 cloves of peeled garlic, a quarter of a glass of horseradish grated, two large spoons of salt, 4 large spoons of sugar and 250 grams of sweet pepper. We start with the preparation of the fill. Rumpled and ripe tomatoes are washed and cut into pieces. Then put them in a pot and pour a little water. When tomatoes are boiled, we wipe them through a sieve. It turns out juice-mashed potatoes. Then add sugar and salt to it, mix it and put the pan back on the stove. Garlic must be crushed thoroughly, and pepper to pass through a meat grinder. After that, add grated horseradish, garlic and pepper to the tomato. In advance, you need to prepare the banks (must be sterilized). Strong tomatoes are mine and punctured with a wooden toothpick. We put them in jars and fill them with boiling tomato. The tomato in its own juice must necessarily be sterilized for about 25 minutes, and then closed with lids. Leave them until completely cooled in the room, and then move to a colder place.

Tomatoes without peel

Such tomatoes are more convenient for further use. The necessary amount of vegetables should be blanched. To do this, we cut the skin of each tomato crosswise. Then put them in boiling water for 2.5 minutes. Prepare a container with cold water. Immediately put tomatoes in it. This operation makes it easy to remove the skin from them. We lay tomatoes without peel in sterilized jars. There, too, we put garlic, laurel, sweet and bitter and celery on chunks. Now we are preparing the tomato fill. Crushed tomatoes are grinded with a meat grinder or grinded 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 cans. Tomato in its own juice must be sterilized for 15 minutes. Then close the lids and store in a cool room.

Then we sterilize the workpiece for about 15 minutes. At the end of the preparation, add two spoonfuls of vinegar (9%).
