Various spices and spices help to give the blanks additional flavoring and aromatic shades, the set and proportions of which each housewife adjusts independently. You can also experiment with filling options using brine (in water) or tomato paste, or use the “dry” method and cook tomatoes in your own juice.

Cold pickling technologies for vegetables and fruits are extremely popular in traditional Russian cuisine. They are used for harvesting cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, apples and even watermelons. Cold methods are simple and convenient: they make it possible to provide supplies for the winter in large volumes, while eliminating the need to boil water, sterilize and roll up jars, and wrap them with blankets.

Such preparations acquire a special nutritional value due to the absence of thermal processing of products and their natural fermentation in the process of lactic acid fermentation, which allows you to do without additional preservatives especially without vinegar and imparts a characteristic sour taste.

Cold salting is considered by many to be the most correct way of harvesting, since with it vegetables and fruits retain their natural beneficial properties and are enriched with probiotic bacteria.

The only drawback, especially for urban residents, is the need to store such blanks in appropriate (cold) conditions.

Basic recipes for cold pickling tomatoes

Since there are different technologies for cold salting, we will consider each of them step by step in specific recipes.

According to this recipe, you can cold pickle tomatoes, both ripe and unripe. The main thing is that they have the same degree of maturity, which largely determines the final taste of the workpiece: brown and green ones are harder and sour, and red and pink ones will be softer and sweeter.

Servings / Volume: 3 l

Ingredients:

  • fresh tomatoes - 1.7-2 kg;
  • brine water - 1.5-2 l;
  • edible rock salt (coarse grinding) - 100-140 g;
  • black pepper (peas) / bitter (pods) - 10-15 pcs. / 0.5-1 pcs.;
  • dill, umbrellas - 3-5 pcs.;
  • horseradish leaf - 2-3 pcs.

  • sugar - 40-50 g;
  • dry mustard (ground or whole) - 30-40 g;
  • celery leaf - 5-6 pcs.;
  • bay leaf - 2-3 pcs.;
  • cherry and / or black currant leaf - 3-5 pcs.

Cooking technology:

  1. Wash the tomatoes, removing the stalks, select only whole and strong, without signs of spoilage. Wipe them dry. For faster and more uniform salting, green and brown fruits can be pricked with a fork on the sides, too large - cut in half. Ripe tomatoes are advised to prick with a toothpick or knife in the place where the stalk is attached so that the skin does not burst.
  2. Wash the dill and all prepared leaves and let them dry.
  3. Cover the bottom of the prepared container with a layer of leaves and greenery.
  4. Arrange the tomatoes, adding a little pepper, dill and leaves from time to time.
  5. Top with salt and sugar, dry mustard and other ground spices (optional).

The condition of the workpiece must be checked regularly.... If mold appears on top, then the sides of the container and oppression must be washed, and the upper horseradish leaves must be replaced with fresh ones. You can start tasting tomatoes after 10-14 days, but it is better to wait 1-1.5 months, since as they are salted and fermented, their taste will become more and more vivid.

When pouring cold water, the process of dissolving the spices will take longer, and fermentation will begin a little later. If the house is not hot, then it is better to use brine: add salt and sugar to hot water, boil for 3-5 minutes, and then cool and pour into a container with tomatoes.

This technology will do for immature- green and brown tomatoes, which, when salted under the pressure of oppression, will release juice, but will not lose their shape and retain the texture density.

  • fresh herbs (dill, cilantro, parsley, celery) - 1 bunch;
  • basil / thyme - 2-3 sprigs;
  • vodka - 100-150 ml.

  1. Wash unripe tomatoes thoroughly and dry with paper towels. Cut each into 2 or 4 pieces.

  4. Letting the juice settle, the tomatoes will settle and new portions can be added to the container.

And sauerkraut is even more so becoming a storehouse of vitamins and minerals.

However, you and I will learn to harvest not cabbage with cucumbers, but everyone's favorite tomatoes. Cold pickled tomatoes are an opportunity not only to preserve the gifts of summer for the winter, but also to get a vigorous, delicious snack, which is for potatoes, and a glass, and for a feast, and in the world. So let's learn!

A simple recipe for cold pickling tomatoes

You can cold pickle tomatoes in wooden tubs, in an enamel bucket or in a saucepan, and in a regular glass jar. Based on one three-liter can, we need the following ingredients:

  • ripe tomatoes - how much will fit in a jar;
  • vinegar 9% - 1 tablespoon;
  • coarse table salt - 3 tbsp. l .;
  • granulated sugar - 1 tbsp. l .;
  • garlic - 1 head;
  • horseradish leaf;
  • dill stalk with an umbrella -1 pc .;
  • cherry leaf - 2-3 pcs.;
  • currant leaf - 1-2 pcs.

Preparation:

To pickle tomatoes in jars, the fruits must be thoroughly rinsed, and then chopped near the stalk. Banks must also be thoroughly washed and wiped dry. At the bottom of the jar we put a washed horseradish leaf, a stem and an umbrella of dill, and then we fill the jar with tomatoes, trying to stack the fruits tightly, but do not crush or crush them. In the process of filling the jar, do not forget to shift the tomatoes with currant and cherry leaves and add peeled cloves of garlic.

Now pour salt and sugar into the jar and fill it all with cold bottled (boiled or filtered) water and add vinegar. Everything! We seal the jar of tomatoes with a regular plastic lid and put it in the refrigerator.

If you suddenly have a wooden tub at home, try pickling tomatoes in it. By the way, you can replace this rare kitchen accessory with an ordinary enamel bucket. So, the ingredients are needed the same as for cold pickling in jars. Take only salt at the rate of 500-700 g per 10 liters of water, and sugar, respectively, 3 times less. And we don't use vinegar in this case!

Put horseradish leaves and dill at the bottom of the tub or bucket, and then fill the container with tomatoes, shifting them with currant and cherry leaves and cloves of garlic. Fill the tomatoes with brine, put a wooden circle on top (a dish, a lid with a smaller diameter than the diameter of the tub) and put pressure on it. We leave the tomatoes for a couple of days at room temperature, and after the start of fermentation we put them in a cold cellar or in the refrigerator.

Salted tomatoes with mustard

Another way of cold pickling tomatoes.

Ingredients:

  • tomatoes - 1 kg;
  • dill - 30 g;
  • cherry leaf - 2 leaves;

  • bay leaf - 3 leaves.
  • water - 1 l;
  • dry mustard - 15 g;
  • granulated sugar - 2, 5 tbsp. l .;
  • black peppercorns - 6 pcs.;
  • table salt - 1.5 tbsp. l.

Preparation:

For salting in this way, we need brown tomatoes, that is, those that just barely ripened. The fruits should be approximately the same size, without cracks, dents or spoiled spots. So, wash the tomatoes, dry them and place them in clean dry jars, shifting the tomatoes with dill, lavrushka leaves, currants and cherries. Prepare the brine separately by boiling water with salt, sugar and black pepper. Dissolve dry mustard in hot brine and leave it to cool completely. Fill the tomatoes with cold brine, seal the jars with nylon lids and leave in a cool place for a couple of days.

When the brine has cooled, add vinegar essence to it. Of course, our ancestors did without vinegar essence, but its use significantly speeds up the salting process, and such tomatoes are stored for a long time and without problems.

Now we take clean cans, put horseradish leaves, dill seeds, mustard seeds or any other spices at our discretion on the bottoms. However, keep in mind that too much spice can spoil the taste of the finished product. So try to avoid the frills. Fill the tomatoes with cold brine, close them with metal lids and put them in the cold. Everything! Tomatoes preserved in this way can be stored for 2-3 years.

While the brine is preparing and cooling down, soak the green tomatoes, pouring them with cold boiled water. Then we cut the tomatoes at the base of the stalk and put them in clean and pre-scalded three-liter jars with boiling water.

How to choose tomatoes for pickling

The choice of quality fruits for pickling is the first and most important step on the way to getting tasty pickling, which is why it is so important to learn to distinguish a good product from a low-quality one.

Did you know? In salted tomatoes, absolutely everything is valuable: the fruits can be eaten with a side dish, and the remaining brine can be used to prepare a lush and unusual-tasting dough, which is facilitated by the magnesium and potassium present in the composition.

There are several main criteria for the very "suitable" tomato:

  • it must be ripe, but not overripe, otherwise the salting will turn into porridge;
  • for salting, it is advisable to choose varieties with a dense skin that will not crack during heat treatment;
  • it is better not to buy tomatoes on stalks, since ripe specimens would not hold on to it so well (green fruits will not be so juicy and soft, moreover, they contain solanine, a substance dangerous to humans);
  • the color of the selected specimens should be uniform, without the slightest green areas;
  • the smell of tomatoes suitable for pickling must necessarily be fresh and "tomato", which cannot be said about many fruits grown for mass sale;
  • do not pay attention to overly bright and shiny tomatoes, because such an appearance may well indicate the presence of nitrate compounds in them;
  • the surface of the selected vegetables should be flat and smooth, without irregularities, outgrowths and other deviations, indicating the possible use of hormonal fertilizers during cultivation.
Also, don't forget about the freshness of the tomatoes. Rotten, crumpled or diseased fruits should also be discarded. You can notice the presence of a problem by the appearance of tomatoes: for example, on diseased fruits there are often gray or dark spots, cracks, white dots and putrefactive foci.

What can be served to the table

In winter, pickled and beautifully decorated vegetables can be a real decoration of the festive table, not to mention the possibility of using them as a snack for more modest events. They can be served with mashed potatoes, vegetable casseroles, or as an ingredient in a pizza or pie. Sometimes salted red tomatoes are used to prepare real masterpieces of first courses, like Siberian cabbage soup, and vegetable salads based on them.

Important!When using pickles in cooking, do not forget about the high salt content in them, which will also affect the taste of the cooked dishes. It is likely that some of them will not need to be salted at all.

Workpiece storage rules

Most pickles are almost immediately placed in the cellar or, in extreme cases, on the lower shelf of the refrigerator, however, the latter solution can be considered appropriate only with a small number of blanks. The ideal storage temperature in both situations is considered to be + 1 ... + 6 ° С. If there are no opportunities for long-term storage of salted tomatoes, then they can be preserved.
After five days of exposure in brine, it is drained, and the fruits themselves and all green seasonings used with them are washed with warm water. In this form, they fit into clean jars, and the previously drained brine is brought to a boil. At the end of the procedure, the tomatoes laid in jars must be poured with ready-made brine and rolled up. Of course, the shelf life of rolled pickles will be much longer than the shelf life of vegetables in a bucket.

For beginners, even the simplest salting process can be a daunting task, but over time, every housewife will notice some nuances that make it much easier.

  • if you want the process of pickling tomatoes to go faster, you need to make a cruciform incision at the base of the fruit;
  • for greater aroma of the preparation, it is advisable to pre-dry the dill and parsley, due to which, during the salting process, they will reveal their full aromatic potential;
  • the fruits of ripe and soft varieties of tomatoes should be salted in containers of no more than 50 liters, and hard or green tomatoes - in wooden barrels;
  • in order not to mash ripe fruits, they are necessarily laid out in layers, each of which must be covered with leaves of cherry, horseradish, currant, basil, dill and other spicy herbs;
  • the optimal salting time is 2 weeks, after which it is advisable to transfer the tomatoes to another clean container or roll up in jars for longer storage.
