Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Wash the small tomatoes, prick them in several places with a sharp stick, and tightly pack them into jars up to the shoulders.
Step 2
Cut the large tomatoes and heat them in an enameled pot under a lid, without bringing to a boil. Pass the hot mixture through a fine sieve, dissolve the salt and sugar in it, and pour the mixture over the tomatoes in the jars so that the juice level is 2 cm below the rim of the jar.
Step 3
Pasteurize at 185°F (1-liter jars for 25–30 minutes) or sterilize in boiling water (8–9 minutes).
