As a rule, housewives are interested in how to salt green tomatoes in jars, when the fruits remain on the bushes before they ripen and blush. This is a great way to save them, and not throw them away, because it turns out really tasty harvesting for the winter.

Unfortunately, usually at this time the leaves of cherries and black currants already circled, so during salting we do not use them, as we usually do when salting red tomatoes in summer and early autumn.

This simple recipe suggests its own spicy additives, which are available at this time and make ready-made tomatoes fragrant and very tasty, and step-by-step photos will show the process of salting.

Ingredients per 1 L jar:

500-600 g of green tomato;
2 cloves of garlic;
2-3 cm piece of horseradish root;
2 teaspoons of dill seeds;
1-2 cm slice of red hot pepper;
0.5 l of water;
30 g of salt.

How to pickle green tomatoes in jars

For pickling, we select green or light brown tomatoes without damaging the skin, dense. It is advisable to place tomatoes of approximately the same size in a jar, then they will be ready at the same time. Wash green tomatoes with cold water.

Peel the garlic and rinse. We cut large cloves in half lengthwise. We wash red hot pepper and cut into small pieces. We clean the horseradish root and wash it with running water. Cut horseradish root into thin rings or strips.

At the bottom of well-washed (with the addition of baking soda) cans we put half the norm of horseradish, garlic, hot pepper and dill seeds.

Spread the tomatoes. When laying, we try to fill as much space as possible, but do not crush the tomatoes.

Put the remaining hot peppers, horseradish, garlic and dill on top of the tomatoes.

We prepare the brine: dissolve the salt in cold water. Pour tomatoes with brine.

And cover with plastic covers. If you have jars with screw caps, screw them tight.

We transfer jars of tomatoes to a cellar or other dark, cool place. When choosing a storage location, it should be noted that with the beginning of fermentation, a little brine will pour out of the cans, so it’s better to substitute a pan under the banks.
