How to pickle delicious cherry tomatoes for winter: they will not crack

Pickled cherry tomatoes are very convenient to open at a time. Vegetables are usually harvested in small jars, so a twist won't last for weeks in the fridge. If you use the following technique, the tomatoes will also be very firm and will not crack in the jar.

The idea of cooking delicious cherry tomatoes for lunch was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Yana with the nickname gotovim_s_yanou. Vegetables will be the perfect addition to any porridge, meat and fish.
