Pickled Green Tomatoes for Winter
Pickled Green Tomatoes for Winter "Autumn Kaleidoscope" – a delicious and beautiful appetizer. Unlike red, ripe tomatoes, such tomatoes are very rarely pickled, so for fans of "green" appetizers, this dish will be a real celebration. For conservation, we will use not only green but also brown tomatoes. Of course, they will taste different, but they look bright and beautiful in the jar.

Simple products for preparing pickled green tomatoes for winter:
- tomatoes (green and brown) – 4 kg;
- garlic – 4 cloves in each jar;
- parsley (fresh) – 4-6 sprigs in each jar;
- dill (dried) – 3-4 sprigs in each jar;
- bitter pepper (peppercorns) – 6 pcs., in each jar;
- allspice (peppercorns) – 4 pcs., in each jar;
- bay leaf – 2 pcs., in each jar;
- vinegar (9%) – 3 tbsp. in each jar;
- salt – 2 tbsp. in each jar;
- sugar – 1 tbsp. in each jar,
- water – 2-2.5 l.
Preparation
- Prepare the tomatoes. Wash them and let them dry.
- Also prepare the herbs and spices for the marinade according to the list.
- Cut out the stems of the tomatoes. This can be easily done with a thin knife.
- All tomatoes need to be cut in half. Whether to cut the tomato into wedges or horizontally, each hostess decides for herself. We cut the tomatoes horizontally, as this makes the preservation look more aesthetically pleasing and unusual.
- Sterilize the jars, boil the lids.
- Place the herbs and spices at the bottom.
- Fill the jars with the prepared tomato halves up to the middle.
- Again place parsley, a clove of garlic, and bay leaf. Fill the jars to the very top.
- Heat a kettle with clean water and pour boiling water into the jars up to the very top. Cover the jars with lids and let them warm for 20-25 minutes. After 25 minutes, drain the water and boil it again.
- Pour boiling water into the jars for the second time, cover with lids, and let sit for half an hour.
- After half an hour, drain the water into a saucepan and put it on the heat, bringing it to a boil. Add salt to the saucepan - 4 tablespoons, based on 2 tablespoons per one 3-liter jar. Sugar and vinegar are added directly to the jars. For one 3-liter jar, you need 1 tablespoon of sugar and 3 tablespoons of vinegar.
- Pour boiling brine into the jars and immediately seal them with lids.
- Turn the jars upside down, cover with a towel, and wrap in a blanket. Leave in this state until completely cool. This will take approximately a day (24 hours).
After 24 hours, the jars have cooled down. The pickled green tomatoes for winter turned out bright and beautiful, a true "Autumn Kaleidoscope."
Store the pickled green tomatoes in the pantry for storage. Enjoy your meal!
