I propose an interesting and simple recipe without sterilizing the billet tomato with celery for the winter. The most convenient pickling tomatoes are small, round or elongated, fleshy, with a dense skin. Such varieties do not crack when pouring boiling water, absorb the marinade well and are very tasty.
