If your jars of pickled tomatoes explode, you're probably canning them incorrectly.
We'll tell you about two common mistakes when preserving tomatoes.
How not to preserve tomatoes
Firstly, under no circumstances should you add cut garlic cloves.
Chopped garlic makes the brine cloudy; only whole cloves should be added.
Secondly, many housewives do not consider it necessary to scald the greens before adding them to the jars.
And this is extremely important, especially if you add the herbs at the very end, when the hot marinade has already been poured into the jars.
It is because of ignoring this procedure that jars explode. It is necessary to scald the greens, you can even hold them in boiling water for a while.
