Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

STEP 1
Preparing the tomatoes. Wash thoroughly, cut off damaged areas or throw away the whole fruit, remove the stem and, if possible, sort the fruit by size. We prepare the jars. Wash thoroughly and discard damaged and chipped items. We carefully check returnable containers (used ones). We sterilize the jars by steaming.
STEP 2
In prepared jars we place spices on the bottom: - dill - 1-2, - peppercorns and allspice, - caraway seeds - 3-5 seeds per 1-liter jar, - cloves - 1-2 pieces per 1-liter jar.
STEP 3
Then add 1-2 slices of beets...(the color of the brine and taste depend on the beets, don’t put too many beets, otherwise the brine will taste astringent)
STEP 4
... 5-7 slices of apples and a couple of cloves of garlic. (for a 1-liter jar).
STEP 5
We fill the jars with tomatoes up to the shoulders. I did not pack small tomatoes tightly, but simply poured handfuls into the jar, and then shook the jar and lightly pressed the tomatoes with my fingers.
STEP 6
Fill the jars with boiling water for 20-30 minutes. Then we pour this water into one large container and fill it. If spices get into the water, it’s okay, let it stay that way. Filling (marinade) - add sugar, salt to the water drained from the jars and mix. Boil. Then reduce the heat and, constantly stirring the marinade, carefully pour in the vinegar. Pour hot marinade into the tomatoes up to the neck of the jar and roll up the lid.
STEP 7
The brine and tomatoes will acquire their characteristic rich color in a few weeks. You can shake the jars from time to time to mix the marinade.

Micah, what a beautiful pickle, not to mention the tomatoes themselves! Great idea to tint the twist with a piece of beetroot! The color is amazing, and it’s not a shame to serve such a brine the next morning... although it doesn’t matter what color it is, as long as it helps. Thank you very much for the recipe!
