How to salt tomatoes in a bucket

Since my high school days, I still remember. greenishThe ones they gave us in the dining room. It turns out that the recipe for salting is quite simple and it can be easily repeated at home.





Especially since it differs favorably from conventional canning. No need to mess with hot brine, and tomatoes are no less juicy and tasty, plus they retain much more nutrients.





In addition to everything else, salt offers not one, but many flavors. Tomatoes can be eaten at all stages of their salting. First they will be low-salt, then medium-salted, and now you have incredibly spicy and tasty, almost nuclear tomatoes!
