This dish can be a great snack. It combines very tasty and juicy vegetables and fragrant tomato filling. Tomato in its own juice is also used as a base for tomato sauces, in the preparation of pizza, borscht and other dishes. We can say that this is a universal dish that will help out the hostess at the right time.

Juicy tomatoes

Opening an appetizing tomato in its own juice in winter, you can complement any dish and make it original. But for this it is necessary to prepare an appetizer from the fall, when a mass collection takes place. To do this, you need to take two kilograms of ripe, dense and two kilograms of soft, well-ripened (you can overripe) tomatoes. This is the main product. You will also need 6 cloves of peeled garlic, a quarter cup of grated horseradish, two large spoons of s alt, 4 large spoons of sugar and 250 grams of sweet pepper. We start by preparing the filling. We wash the mashed and overripe tomatoes and cut them into pieces. Then put them in a saucepan and pour in some water. When the tomatoes are boiled, wipe them through a sieve. It turns outpuree juice.

Then add sugar and s alt to it, mix and put the pan back on the stove. The garlic must be carefully chopped, and the pepper must be passed through a meat grinder. After that, add the grated horseradish, garlic and pepper to the tomato. Banks must be prepared in advance (be sure to sterilize). Wash strong tomatoes and prick with a wooden toothpick. We put them in jars and pour boiling tomato. A tomato in its own juice must be sterilized without fail for about 25 minutes, and then closed with lids. We leave them until completely cooled in the room, and then move them to a colder place.

Tomatoes without skins

Such tomatoes are more convenient for further use. The required amount of vegetables must be blanched. To do this, cut the skin of each tomato crosswise. Then put them in boiling water for 2.5 minutes. We prepare a container with cold water in advance. We immediately dip the tomatoes into it. This operation makes it easy to remove the skin from them. Place skinless tomatoes in sterilized jars. We also put chopped garlic, bay leaf, sweet and bitter peppers and celery there. Now let's prepare the tomato sauce. Grind mashed tomatoes with a meat grinder or grind through a sieve, as in the previous recipe. Add to this mass (per 1 liter) a small spoonful of s alt, 2 tablespoons of sugar and boil. Then immediately pour into jars. Be sure to sterilize the tomato in its own juice for 15 minutes. Then close the lids andstore in a cold room.

Tomato slices

To begin with, blanch the tomatoes, remove the skin and cut into slices. Then we put them in jars and pour 1 small spoon of s alt and 1 large spoon of sugar (per liter jar). Then we sterilize the workpiece for about 15 minutes. At the end of cooking, add two tablespoons of vinegar (9%). This is pickled tomatoes in their own juice, so we don’t add anything else. Roll up lids and wrap. This is how you can cook tomatoes in your own juice.
