Preservation is one of the easiest ways to prepare food for the winter. However, simple recipes for canning fruits and vegetables can no longer impress with their taste. Therefore, modern housewives are constantly striving to invent new outlandish methods of conservation.
Instructions
Step 1
Jelly tomatoes are one such way. The taste of this dish is quite original and similar to the taste of ordinary canned tomatoes, so beloved by us. The recipe for the dish is simple, but it requires adherence to certain rules.
Step 2
First you need to select the most important ingredient - tomatoes. In conservation, small tomatoes are used, dense and firm, without various kinds of damage. They must be washed thoroughly.
Step 3
Next, you need to prepare the jars in which the tomatoes will fit. First, they are sterilized in order to avoid the possibility of microbes getting inside. Then the bottom of the jar is laid out with dill and herbs, also do not forget about bay leaves, onions, dill and garlic. When the preparatory processes are completed, you can proceed to the direct process of conservation.
Step 4
The tomatoes are cut into two or four pieces and placed neatly in the jar. It is best to use tomatoes of different colors - pink, yellow, red and white, then the preparation will be not only tasty, but also beautiful.
Step 5
After that, you can start preparing the marinade. Here, the first step is to prepare the gelatin. This is the main point that makes the recipe so original. Often the correct directions on how to use it are on the package. It is advisable to adhere to precisely these instructions, since gelatin from different manufacturers can swell at different times and with different intensities.
Step 6
After the gelatin is ready to use, it must be placed in a saucepan and heated to a sufficient temperature for it to dissolve.
Step 7
Then salt, vinegar, sugar and spices are added to the water to taste. After the water has boiled, the tomatoes, which have already been placed in the jar, are carefully poured with water. You should not pour out the water - you need to let the vegetables sterilize for about 20 minutes in this water, after which the jar must be closed with a lid. Until the jars are completely cool, it is advisable not to touch them. Such tomatoes, like any canned product, are stored in a cool place.
Step 8
An important part of this type of cooked tomato is the way it is served. First, you need to put the jar in which they are stored in the refrigerator so that the jelly stands up well.
Step 9
Jelly tomatoes are a simple and original way to decorate your table in winter with beautiful and original dishes.
