Having tried these tomatoes once, you will definitely want more! Maybe it's in the tomato tops, or maybe in a somewhat unusual - sweet - marinade, but absolutely everyone likes them.

So, let's get started ... My cans and tomatoes. We pierce each tomato with a toothpick or skewer, then when heated, the air freely escapes from them and the tomatoes do not burst. Someone will consider this superfluous, but I always do this (even if I preserve two buckets), good appearance- already half the battle.

We put tomatoes in jars mixed with carrot tops- those ponytails, "spit on the street", which are usually thrown away. For 1 liter of volume 1-2 pcs. tops. NO OTHER SPICES! This recipe is not for taking the initiative!

Pour boiling water over, let stand almost until cool (and you can cool down).

Drain the water, add 4 tbsp. to 1 liter of liquid. spoons of sugar, 1 tbsp. l. salt, 70 g table vinegar(6%). Let it boil for a minute, pour over the tomatoes, roll up, turn over until cool. You can wrap yourself in a blanket, but who is used to it ...

Delicious, tender tomatoes are ready! Enjoy your meal!

The recipe is simple, allows you to preserve "in between". The only difficulty is sometimes it is not easy to get carrot tops. Last summer, I specifically negotiated with grannies at the market, this year I planted a bed of carrots in the country specifically for tops.

The peculiarity of the recipe is that you do not need to use classic set spices and spices for canning. You won't need dill, garlic, or bay leaf. Instead, carrot tops are added - it is full of vitamins and valuable useful substances. No wonder our ancestors prepared decoctions and tea from the tops, added it to salads and snacks (but there are contraindications, be sure to study them before use).

In today's recipe with a photo, I will tell you in detail how to close tomatoes with carrot tops for the winter in three-liter jars. Don't worry, it won't taste like carrots. In the process of long pickling, tomatoes will take only a thin, barely perceptible aroma from the green bunch. The main thing here is to let the workpiece properly brew. You can take the first sample no earlier than after 4 months, but it is better to wait 5-6 months. During this time, the tops will have time to convey to the fruits the very characteristic taste that makes this blank unusual and unique.

Total cooking time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Yield: 3 liters

Ingredients

for a 3 liter jar

• tomatoes - about 2 kg
• carrot tops - 6 sprigs
• black peppercorns - 6 pcs.
• water - 1.5 l
• salt - 1.5 tbsp. l.
• sugar - 5 tbsp. l. without a slide
• 9% vinegar - 80 ml

Cooking tomatoes with carrot tops

First of all, you should sterilize the jars, boil the lids, rinse the vegetables and tops in running water. Before canning tomatoes with carrot tops, you need to prick each fruit with a toothpick in the stalk area. 3-4 punctures are enough so that the tomatoes do not burst when heated and air freely escapes from them.

At the bottom of the jars, I lay black peppercorns and tops - the very green tails that are usually thrown away when peeling carrots will only need “fluffy” twigs, without hard stems. Do not add too many tops, 2 pieces per liter are enough, that is, 6 branches per 3-liter jar. No other spices need to be added.

I fill jars with tomatoes to the very neck. I try to lay it tightly, but without pressing, so that the fruits do not burst.

Pour clean boiling water (no additives). I cover with lids for 15 minutes. Then I pour the water into a saucepan. It is most convenient to use a plastic lid with holes for draining water. If you don’t have one, then just hold the lid with your hand, carefully draining the hot water.

Based on the liquid that was poured into the pan, I prepare the brine - I add salt and sugar. As soon as it boils, pour in the vinegar and immediately remove from heat. I pour tomatoes with tops with boiling brine. I roll it up with lids, turn it upside down and leave it for a day so that the preservation cools under a fur coat.

As soon as it cools down, it can be transferred to storage in the cellar or in a dark pantry.

It is best to take a sample after 5-6 months, on the eve of the New Year, when the tomatoes are properly marinated. The total shelf life is 1 year.

Purpose: autumn preparations.
Preservation means preserving useful properties and nutritional value products long time. Canned vegetables characterized by pleasant taste and useful properties.
To implement my project, I was looking for information on the Internet (about canning tomatoes with different spices and herbs). On one of the sites I came across the recipe “Canned Tomatoes with Carrot Tops”. I liked it because no additional spices and herbs are required for rolling tomatoes.

Description: The master class is designed for schoolchildren of grade 6 and older, their parents. This material may well be used by technology teachers when studying the "Cooking" section.
Target: Canned tomatoes in a small jar.
Tasks:
- to expand the idea of ​​harvesting vegetables for future use
- prepare for independent living
- Develop independence and self-control
- to cultivate a cognitive interest in cooking

To prepare the workpiece you will need:

1.Ingredients:

Elastic medium-sized tomatoes
- tops from one carrot
- salt
- sugar
- food vinegar 9%
iodized salt not recommended for canning vegetables,
but in our class there was only such

2. Equipment:

Glass jar with tin lid
Drain cover
Scales
Plate

Two enamel pots different sizes
Table and teaspoon
wooden toothpicks
Seamer (key)
Can holder
Napkin

1. Before starting work, put on protective clothing and wash your hands with soap and water.
Choose small tomatoes medium degree maturity, which will not burst in the future. Thoroughly wash the fruits and carrot tops in warm water. First you need to clean them of dirt and dust, and then rinse again and put on a plate to dry.

2. Wash the jar and lid baking soda and rinse under running water.
3. Place the jar in a preheated oven to sterilize for 15 minutes.
Boil the lid for at least 5 minutes.

4. Calculate how much sugar, salt and vinegar you need.
While the jar was being sterilized and the tomatoes were drying, I once again looked at the recipes saved on the computer and chose the last post (5 liters of water, 20 tablespoons of sugar, 5 tablespoons of salt, 350 grams of 9% vinegar), because this recipe has been tested and is convenient for calculation .
For 1 liter of water you need 4 tablespoons of sugar 1 table. a spoonful of salt and 70 grams of 9% vinegar
1 st. a spoonful of salt - 30 g
1 st. a spoonful of sugar - 25 g
To fill a 0.6 liter jar, 0.3 liters of water is enough for me, so I weighed the ingredients:
Salt - 30 g x 0.3 \u003d 10 g
Sugar - 25 g x 4 x 0.3 = 30 g
Vinegar - 350 g / 5 x 0.3 \u003d 21 g

5. Put a piece of carrot tops on the bottom of the prepared and cooled sterile jar.

Then tightly lay the tomatoes (as many as you like).
Each fruit must first be pricked at the location of the stalk with a wooden needle (toothpick) so that it does not burst during canning.

Between the tomatoes, additionally lay sprigs of tops.

6. In order for each tomato to retain its bright color and elasticity, it is necessary to carry out heat treatment. To do this, boil water and carefully pour boiling water into a jar.

7. Then immediately drain the water back into the pan and start preparing the marinade.

To do this, add salt and sugar to the drained water. Put the pot on medium fire and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved (about a couple of minutes). Pour in the vinegar and let the marinade brew for a few minutes.
8. Pour the tomatoes in a jar with hot marinade, without adding about 1 cm to the edges of the neck.

9. Cover the jar with a sterile tin lid and place in a saucepan with hot water for pasteurization. The water in the pot should reach the shoulders of the jar.

Pasteurization - controlled heat treatment products designed to kill bacteria and other microorganisms.
To prevent the jar from bursting, put a napkin folded in several layers on the bottom.
The pasteurization time is counted from the moment the liquid boils.
and for my jar is 10 minutes.
10. After this time, pull the jar out of the pan with a gripper.

11. And roll up

12. Check the jar for leaks (tilt gently to make sure the marinade does not leak).
Shake the jar, put the lid down and leave to cool completely.
Interesting Ingredient in the form of carrot tops gives unusual taste pickled tomatoes. The marinade is special, and the tops also give an unusual appearance to the finished dish.
