14.09.2019 Dishes for children

Salting a tomato is one of the most common ways of preserving vegetables for the winter, based on pouring a salt solution of a certain concentration over the fruit. Preservation of tomatoes occurs under the action of lactic acid, which inhibits the development of putrefactive bacteria. To isolate a sufficient amount of it during fermentation, you must adhere to certain rules. Today I will tell you how to properly cook salted tomatoes in jars, a bucket, a saucepan, a bag for the winter. True, there are only two places for storing such blanks in an apartment: the refrigerator and its freezer compartment. The only difference is that in the refrigerator the fermentation process lasts 15 days, and in the freezer - 40-50 days, and the tomatoes in it do not acidify until spring.

Cold salted tomatoes in jars for the winter


Almost all housewives tell amazing stories about pickling tomatoes as their great-grandmothers. I just don't have them, because my grandmother only soaked 3 barrels of apples of different varieties, she doesn't like wandering tomatoes. I first used these recipes when I was in a position, and my husband forbade me even to go to boiling water. I chose the ad: "Salted tomatoes - the most delicious recipe" and annoyed. I'll be honest: my husband tried several fruits at the first tasting, and he didn't get any more. I was delighted with the taste.

It is very convenient to salt vegetables in a bucket if you have a large family and still have a basement to lower it there. Since there is no place in the refrigerator anyway. I have already adapted this way: the whole family is going to my grandmother, there we quickly salt and immediately remove the container to the basement. And as needed, we take it, and parents, and sister, and even grandmother (she grinds them through a sieve and puts them in borscht instead of tomato). Enough for everyone.

  3. Put spices and tomatoes in a ceramic or enamel bucket. Fill everything with brine and cover it on top with a clean ironed cotton towel or gauze folded in 2-3 layers.
  4. And then we put the ceramic plate washed with soda, upside down and put a small weight on it.
  5. We leave the ceramic bucket in the apartment for a day for the development of lactic acid fermentation.
  6. The next day, we move the bucket to the basement, where the fermentation process continues.

The benefits of pickled tomatoes

Our grandmothers have long been engaged in pickling vegetables for the winter. Today, scientists have proven that fermentation is one of the most useful types of preparations. With this method of harvesting, vegetables practically do not lose their useful properties, as happens when canning.

During fermentation, vitamin C is retained, which is almost completely destroyed by salting or canning. Also, in the process of fermentation, beneficial bacteria are produced, which have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

  2. Tara. If you have an oak barrel, great, this is the most suitable container. Most do not have such a barrel, so a glass jar is fine. It is good if you have a bottle of 5 liters or more, but you can also use a three-liter container. You can also ferment in an enamel saucepan.
  3. Brine.

Salted tomatoes in a saucepan- This is a modern version of the traditional salting of vegetables in wooden barrels and tubs. Nowadays, wooden containers cannot be found, and in a city apartment there is hardly a place to put them, so the hostesses came up with a unique recipe for how to prepare in a saucepan. Most often, it is green fruits that are salted in this way, but we offer you a rare recipe for salting red tomatoes, which you will like because of its simplicity.

A modern recipe, how to cook salted tomatoes in a saucepan, has a number of differences from the classic, because the fruits remained in barrels throughout the winter, from there they were taken out before serving. It will not work to store pickles for so long in an enameled container, therefore, they are ultimately laid out in jars. In this form, they will be stored for several seasons.

For cooking, we need a large enamel pot and a lid of the same diameter. Tomatoes should be taken medium-sized, ripe with dense pulp, without damage. From herbs and spices, we will take sprigs and umbrellas of dill, garlic, horseradish root, cherry and currant leaves, hot pepper and salt.

Before starting the cooking process, you must thoroughly wash the pan, you can use soda, then pour boiling water over it, so that all bactericidal organisms will definitely die.

You also need to carefully wash the tomatoes, remove the stalks. Peel the garlic cloves. If you want to get spicy pickles, then it is better to increase the amount of garlic.


At the bottom of the container, you need to lay out about half of the prepared greens, put red fruits on top. If their size is not the same, then the large ones should be put down, and the smaller ones - up, otherwise the small fruits will be flattened under the weight of the large tomatoes. At the end, shake the saucepan so that they settle down more densely, thus, more vegetables will fit in one container.

At the end there will be a layer of greenery - currants, dill, horseradish, you can add basil and mint, because pickled tomatoes in a saucepan recipe can be supplemented with different spices at your discretion. Cover the last green layer from above with a plate of more or less suitable diameter.


Next, you can start preparing the brine. There are no tricks here, and only salt and water are needed. The water must be brought to a boil, and the grains must be completely dissolved in it, and boiled for several minutes. For 5 liters of liquid, you need to take 350 g of salt. Pour the hot brine into a saucepan; this must be done on top of a plate so that the liquid reaches the edges. Then close the lid.

Tomatoes will be ready in a month, but it goes faster, and in two weeks you can taste delicious pickles. Further, it is advisable to arrange them in sterilized jars (cold) and close with rubber lids. It is imperative to store it in a cool place, be it a cellar or a refrigerator. Although in an enameled container, they will last until spring.

In the same way, it can be harvested with mustard and cabbage. All these recipes will allow you to make only the most delicious homemade preserves for your family. Salted tomatoes in a saucepan, recipe with photo will tell you all the intricacies of their preparation, will be a great addition to a family lunch or a festive dinner.

Pickled tomatoes are one of the most popular preparations for the winter. They are an excellent substitute for tomato paste, ketchup and tomato dressing in various dishes.

Salted tomatoes can also be served as an independent snack.

Hot salting takes a lot of time and skill: the jars must be carefully sterilized and rolled up, the brine may become cloudy and the jars may explode.

The ideal option for quick salting is cold rolling of tomatoes.

Benefits of cold salting

The cold way of pickling tomatoes has many pluses:

  • Pickles are much tastier than when rolled in other ways;
  • Less loss of vitamins from tomatoes (due to lack of heat treatment);
  • Doesn't take a lot of time.
  • Easy salting technology;
  • No need to boil the brine water;
  • You can eat tomatoes as early as three weeks after salting;
  • Blanks can be produced in any containers (including sterilized jars);

The disadvantage of this method is that all containers with pickles must be stored in a cool place, otherwise the tomatoes will deteriorate.

Preparation for salting

First, let's select the tomatoes that we will salt:

  • Tomatoes must be of the same ripeness (you cannot take green, pink and red tomatoes for one container);
  • Fruits should be free from rotting and mildew;
  • Tomatoes should not be broken and soft;
  • Do not take tomatoes for pickling that have damage - cuts and punctures.

All tomatoes must be separated from the stalks, rinsed well, dried with a soft towel and a neat puncture should be made next to the stalk (so that the skin of the tomatoes does not crack when stored in brine).

First, choose tomatoes of approximately the same size. When you run out of identical tomatoes, you can salt tomatoes of different sizes in the same container.

Next, we prepare container, in which we will make salting:

  • If we use cans, we should rinse them thoroughly (preferably with detergent) and sterilize. To do this, hold the glass container over water vapor for 3-5 minutes, then set it to cool, covering it with a clean towel;
  • Tara from other materials follows Rinse(using detergents);
  • Used for salting container maybe with defects, because we will not need to roll it up.

Then choose salt... The following types of salt are used for pickles:

  • Iodized. Rich in iodine, sometimes gives a slight bitterness;
  • Marine. It is rich in various microelements, but if magnesium is removed from it, then it is common table salt;
  • Black. It is rich in potassium, which is good for the human body;
  • Hyponosodium. Salt for hypertensive patients, because it uses potassium and magnesium salts. This prevents fluid retention and high blood pressure.
