Dry pickled tomatoes are a delicious preparation, how to make salted tomatoes for the winter.

I liked that there was a minimum of fuss with the recipe, because this season I’ve already been fussing enough with preserving all sorts of homemade preparations. This recipe for pickling tomatoes can be useful for those gardeners who have a lot of them and who have a cellar. I am pleased to share with you a homemade recipe for dry pickling tomatoes for the winter.

Prepare the pickles:

Tomatoes -10 kg,

table salt - 1.1-1.2 kg. (regular, not iodized and not extra).

You will also need a barrel for pickling (you can use a plastic, glass, ceramic container or a wooden barrel).

How to pickle tomatoes for the winter.

Sort moderately ripe, but not overripe tomatoes from spoiled and bursting ones. Wash the tomatoes selected for pickling thoroughly.

Then, place the tomatoes in layers in a pickling container (barrel), sprinkling each layer with regular dry salt. The layer of salt should completely cover the layer of tomatoes.

Then, when the pickling container is filled to the top with tomatoes mixed with salt. Place a circle on top of this container. The circle should be either wooden (not made from resinous trees) or just any ceramic plate (so that it does not oxidize).You need to put a weight (any stone or weight) on top of the circle. It is better to lay the oppression by first wrapping it in cellophane.

Place the barrel of tomatoes in a cold place, and in a month or a month and a half they will be ready.

This is dry salting of tomatoes. Pickling for the winter according to my neighbor’s recipe in the countryside makes it possible to make delicious tomato preparations for the winter. Tomatoes can simply be eaten as a snack, and if necessary, you can grate them and get tomato juice, which can be added to various dishes instead of standard tomatoes. These salted tomatoes are stored in the cellar until spring.
