Canned vegetables are a tasty addition to lunch, as well as a great appetizer for a holiday table.
Many housewives prefer to make their own preparations so that they can decorate the table with fragrant and tasty tomatoes at any time.
But how to cook them properly?
It's all very simple. You won't even have to get out the vinegar.
For a 3-liter jar, you need to prepare not only washed tomatoes, but also take 3 cloves of garlic, 6 spoons of sugar and 2 spoons of salt. It will also not be superfluous to prepare just one teaspoon of citric acid, peppercorns and cloves. In the last two cases, 2-3 pieces will be enough.
All containers must be washed and sterilized.
The tomatoes need to be inspected.
The fruits must not have any defects.
Once the inspection has been completed, you can put the vegetables in jars, and then add garlic, pepper and cloves. All this should be poured with boiling water, and the container should be covered with lids for half an hour. After this, all the water should be poured into a saucepan and boiled for about 10-15 minutes.
At this time, you can add lemon, sugar and salt to the jars. Then you can pour in the brine and roll up the jars. They should stand under a blanket for 10-12 hours. Then you can move them to the pantry or basement.
