Marinated halved tomatoes with mustard

In my family, marinated halved tomatoes were enjoyed by everyone. I’ll tell you how to make them in this recipe with photos.

How to marinate halved tomatoes with mustard and garlic

For this preparation you need medium or closer to small tomatoes. After we wash everything, each tomato needs to be cut in half. You need to cut it carefully so that the juice does not leak out. To do this, a cut should be made on the tomato where there are depressions.

If you hit the knife in the right place, you will get a seedless tomato on the cut and the juice will not flow out. But it may turn out that there will still be seeds on one half of the tomato, but this is not a big deal. It's just that not all tomatoes are symmetrical. As you can see, this doesn’t always work out for me either. 😉

In jars we put 2 cloves of garlic, two tablespoons of mustard seeds, 3 pieces of allspice, parsley. Then insert the tomato halves cut side down.

The jars are filled with tomatoes - prepare the marinade. For 1 liter of water we need:

• salt - 1 tablespoon;
• sugar - 3 tablespoons;
• vinegar - 25 grams.

Place all ingredients in a saucepan and put on gas and wait until the marinade comes to a boil.

Pour marinade over the preparations and set to sterilize for 15 minutes, screw on the lids and wrap until cool. The marinated tomatoes are ready in halves, now we just put them aside for storage.

In order to understand how much marinade to make, I can say that 1.5 liters of marinade was used for 5 kg of tomatoes. And from 5 kg we got 5 liters of delicious tomatoes.

You can even store pickled tomatoes in halves in an apartment, but it is better in the basement. You can eat them every day for lunch, but it would not be a sin to put them on the holiday table.
