But this winter, my husband’s mother treated us to canned tomatoes. They were very tasty and aromatic, so of course I immediately asked for the recipe. And he really surprised me - it turned out that my mother-in-law was storing tomatoes with aspirin for the winter.
Moreover, the whole process is very simple and quick: you just need to prepare the tomatoes and spices, add aspirin, pour hot marinade over everything - and you can close the jars. Yes, yes, all this - without tedious sterilization or multiple fillings. Well, I tried the result - it’s just wonderful, you can believe me. So if you want to eat moderately spicy, moderately sweet tomatoes with aspirin for the winter, then I will be happy to share the recipe with you.
Ingredients:
- tomatoes (choose thick-skinned varieties)
- garlic
- dill umbrellas
- Bay leaf
- 3 aspirin tablets per 3 liter jar
- 2 aspirin tablets per 2 liter
- 1 aspirin tablet in a liter jar
Marinade:
- 2.5 liters of water
- 100 ml 9% vinegar
- 200 g sugar
- 100 g salt
How to prepare tomatoes with aspirin for the winter:
For this type of preservation, we select small, dense, fleshy tomatoes with thick skin, preferably the “cream” variety. We choose tomatoes with intact skin, not crushed. Wash tomatoes with cold water.
Peel the garlic and wash it. We also rinse the dill umbrellas with cold water and place them on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
We sterilize the jars in advance in any way convenient for you, boil the lids for 4-5 minutes. Place an umbrella of dill, garlic, and bay leaf at the bottom of the jars.
Then we lay out the tomatoes, trying to fill as much free space as possible without crushing the tomatoes.
Grind aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets into powder.
Pour aspirin powder into jars of tomatoes.
Pour water for the marinade into the pan, add sugar and salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Pour vinegar into the marinade and turn off the heat. Pour boiling marinade into jars of tomatoes.
Cover with lids and seal tightly - roll or screw. We turn the closed jars over.
And we wrap the jars with a blanket. Leave it like this for a day, until it cools completely.
How I can preserve tomatoes for the winter.
I roll whole tomatoes in two ways.
1) "Sweet tomatoes."
Don't let this name (sweet) confuse you. In fact, tomatoes and pickle are very, very tasty. The sugar in this marinade adds a piquant flavor.
The recipe is designed for a 3-liter jar.
Put in the jar:
1 clove of garlic,
1 bay leaf,
1 pod of hot pepper,
10 peas of allspice black pepper.
Pour boiling water over it for the first time. Cover with a lid and let stand for 20 minutes. Drain into a saucepan, add 2 tbsp. l. (with a small slide) salt and 5 tbsp. l. Sahara. Boil, add 1 tsp. vinegar essence and pour over the tomatoes. Roll up, turn over, wrap.
2) "Classic tomatoes."
Everything is the same as written above, only the marinade is different.
Marinade: add 1 tbsp to the drained water from the jar (usually 1.5 liters). l. salt, 2 tbsp. l. sugar, 1 tsp. ux. essences.
I put small tomatoes in small jars and then use them to decorate salads.
3) Tomato juice, tomato paste.
Pass the tomatoes through a juicer. If we make juice, then per bucket of juice - 150 grams of salt. Boil for 15 minutes, pour into jars, roll up, turn over, wrap. If you make tomato paste, then add about 100 grams of salt per bucket of juice. and boil until the volume is reduced by half.
This is the thick juice obtained from a Rio Grande tomato.
4) Frozen tomato juice.
Last year I tried freezing fresh tomato juice for the first time. I put the tomatoes through a juicer and added salt. Fresh juice was poured into plastic bottles and into the freezer.
P.S. Defrosted in winter - excellent fresh tomato juice. It's a pleasure to drink.
5) Frozen tomatoes.
This is how I freeze tomatoes. I cut them into rings (across the tomato) 5 mm thick, put them in trays and in the freezer. Then I put it in a bag.
In winter, these tomatoes are very good in a salad with fresh cabbage.
In this salad, only the cabbage is fresh, and the tomatoes, cucumbers, dill and green onions are all frozen.
A small nuance: When the tomato melts a little, remove the skin from it (it comes off very easily, like a film) and cut into a salad.
The bulk of our tomatoes are processed from the Rio Grande variety.
Tomatoes weighing 120-150 grams, strong, meaty. Very good for tomatoes and for whole canning.
Bottom row of boxes are Rio Grande tomatoes.
This is how Rio Grande looks against the backdrop of the large-fruited Orange and Striped tomatoes.
By the way, orange tomatoes are used to make lecho. The salad is very beautiful (sunny golden) and tasty.
6) Fresh tomato.
I seal fresh tomatoes (I don’t cook them) for the winter in both jars and bottles.
I preserve it with salicylic acid.
Wash the tomatoes, cut them, grind them in a meat grinder. For one bucket of finished tomato you need 150-170 grams of salt and 1 tbsp. l. salicylic acid. Since salicylic acid has the consistency of “airy” snow, it is problematic to dissolve it in large volumes. Therefore, pour the tomato into a smaller bowl (I have a liter mug) and pour salicylic acid into it. Grind the acid with a spoon until completely dissolved and pour into a bucket of tomatoes. Mix well and pour into clean jars, roll up the lids, which were previously scalded with boiling water. I also seal fresh tomatoes in half-liter glass bottles. I don’t fill the bottles to the top by 5-7 mm. and I fill this space with sunflower oil. I close with screw-on lids.
In winter I use fresh tomato as a hot sauce for meat. I add ground garlic and ground red pepper to the tomato.
Now I have started to make it easier. I buy “Chili” sauce (200 g bottle) - it’s a spicy, hot sauce and dilute it with half a liter of tomato. The result is a hot, piquant sauce. An irreplaceable addition to barbecue.
In addition, I make horseradish filling with fresh tomatoes. I grind the horseradish in a meat grinder and dilute it with fresh tomato. Right jar. I fill it in a 1:1 ratio. It turns out to be a very thick horseradish porridge. I store it in the refrigerator. Subsequently, 1 tbsp. l. I dilute this porridge with half a liter of tomato and the horseradish sauce is ready for use. Horseradish can also be diluted with mayonnaise. But this is already straight for food. Left jar.
7) Green tomato salad.
Green tomatoes. How often we don’t know where to put them, and, in general, what good can be done from them. But this is the best salad I prepare for the winter. It goes both as an addition to a side dish and as an absolutely independent dish. AND THE GREENER THE TOMATOES, THE TASTIER THE SALAD.
Recipe:
1.5 kg. green tomatoes
0.5 kg. bell pepper,
0.5 kg. Luke,
0.5 kg. carrots,
300 gr. sunflower oil,
70 gr. ux. acids (6%),
100 grams of sugar,
1 head of garlic,
6 teaspoons salt (without top),
dill - greens (bunch) or ground seeds (2 tsp).
Cut the tomatoes, add all the salt and let it brew for 10-12 hours. Then drain (pour out) the water.
Add oil to these tomatoes, chop onions (can be green or onions), bell peppers, carrots. Carrots should be cut into thin slices. I chopped it on a shredder. Mix everything and set to cook. Cook for 30 minutes covered. At the end of cooking, add crushed garlic, vinegar, dill. Place into clean jars, roll up the lids (pre-scald the lids with boiling water and wipe dry), turn over and wrap.
From this amount of products you get 5 jars (500 grams) of salad.
And finally - an appetizer of fried tomatoes with eggs.
Bon appetit and light spins everyone.
Cold-canned tomatoes retain much more vitamins than tomatoes that have been processed with hot water.
Tomatoes are prepared in this way in jars, enamel dishes or wooden barrels.
It is best to use cream tomatoes or other meaty varieties for this preparation. The fruits should be small, ripe, without visible damage. Green tomatoes are also prepared using the cold method.
The tomatoes are washed and several punctures are made around the stalk. Place herbs, garlic, cherry or currant leaves at the bottom of the pan or jar. Then the tomatoes are placed tightly, spices, granulated sugar and salt are added, cool water is poured in and vinegar is poured in. Cover with plastic lids and place in the basement or refrigerator.
Pre-cooked and cooled brine is also used. To do this, pour sugar and salt into the water, add black pepper and other spices and bring to a boil. Then cool and pour it over the tomatoes.
Cold prepared tomatoes turn out very tasty. Depending on the brine, they can be made spicy or lightly salted. The only disadvantage of preparing tomatoes in a cold way for the winter is that they cannot be stored for a long time at room temperature, only in the refrigerator or cellar.

Aspirin in cooking
Aspirin tablets can be purchased without problems at any pharmacy kiosk. And we are used to using it as a remedy for headaches or toothaches. But one day housewives decided to use it to preserve vegetables instead of vinegar.
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), due to its properties, prevents bacteria and microorganisms from multiplying, and also adds an unusual pleasant taste to vegetables and makes them crispy. Tomatoes with aspirin will not cost you much, and the final product will amaze you with its taste.
Aspirin, which began to be produced in the fifties of the 19th century, is now available in various forms and is included in other medicines. However, only the drug without various additions is suitable for use in cooking. It is important to remember that using aspirin in soluble form is strictly prohibited. We must not forget that aspirin is a medical drug that can cause side effects in humans.
