I would like to share my homemade recipe for preparing “honey drop” tomatoes for the winter, with the addition of red peppers and various herbs. For those who don’t know, “honey drops” are very interesting and tasty, small yellow pear-shaped tomatoes. They are also called “light bulbs”.

To begin with, let’s select the ingredients for our homemade preparation:

Honey drop tomatoes – 1 kg (you will get four half-liter jars of the preparation);

Spicy herbs, one small bunch each (parsley, dill, basil);
Garlic – 2 small heads.

How to pickle “honey drop” tomatoes for the winter.

And so, the tomatoes need to be sorted out from damaged and soft fruits and washed thoroughly.

I selected a small red fleshy salad pepper for our preparation. You can, of course, take lettuce peppers of any other color, but, simply, red peppers look very nice with yellow tomatoes.

I also washed the peppers and removed the stalks and seeds. Then I cut the peppercorns into quarters.

Spicy herbs should also be washed.

The garlic needs to be peeled and cut into small slices.
