To begin with, it should be noted that tomatoes are best taken elastic and fleshy. Juicy, soft, overripe, and even more spoiled fruits will not work. Their appearance will deteriorate over time, and they will not be useful for the festive table. Ideally, we recommend using the “plum” variety.

Advice 1 Be sure to sterilize banks and lids. Yes, in the end you will need to sterilize them again, already with tomatoes inside, but it is necessary. The chances of something going wrong are zero. Don't be lazy. Put tomatoes in sterile jars and pour them with boiled water.



Advice 2 The water should be boiled. It's important. Not hot, though. In fact, its temperature should not be too high, otherwise the delicate skin from tomatoes will peel off, and this will negatively affect the appearance of tomatoes. Don't add anything but water. Vinegar or salt is all gone.



The bottom of a large pan is covered with a towel and pour warm water. Hot is dangerous, banks can burst. Now put the tomato cans in the pan. Water should be on the shoulders. Place the pot on the fire and wait for the water to boil. Sterilize 17 minutes after boiling the water. Half a liter is enough for 10 minutes.

Advice 3 Do not keep tomatoes in boiling water, they become loose and soft. Now it's the old-fashioned way: tighten the lids on the banks, turn the banks over. So you'll check if the water is leaking inside the container.

Tip 4 Do not wrap cans of tomatoes in a warm blanket. After all, under it they continue to cook. Instead, leave them on the table or on the floor. Covers down. And then send it to a dark, cool place.



Tip 5 In fact, tomatoes do not require any special treatment. You can leave them on the table, there's nothing wrong with the taste. But sunlight adversely affects the color saturation of tomatoes. And in a dark place they will retain their rich red hue.
