The editors of FoodOboz will tell you why preparing delicious and high-quality tomatoes for the winter that will stand for a long time does not work out. The following nuances should be paid special attention to.

Poor cleaning of all components

It's very important to wash the vegetables and herbs, because pickling can just spoil if you don't. And the water needs to be changed several times so that all the dirt is definitely washed away.

Ignoring the sterilization of jars

Sterilization is an obligatory step, which is the key to your delicious taste. It has to be done very carefully, even if the procedure will take a little longer than you would like.

A small amount of vinegar

Vinegar is a preservative that helps tomatoes last a long time and stay firm. Therefore, you should follow the recipe so as not to spoil the vegetables.

Using raw water

Water for pickling tomatoes should be boiled. Boil it with the marinade for at least three minutes. Or even five. Also, do not pour water from the tap, use bottled water.

Adding raw herbs

Washing the greens with running water is not enough. They need to be scalded with boiling water to minimize the entry of microbes. Otherwise, the canning can spoil.
