I made a couple of jars of pickled tomatoes with citric acid for the winter. Once upon a time, my mother also added lemon instead of vinegar, it was tasty and not sour). I selected small pink tomatoes and pricked them at the base with a toothpick. This recipe uses a lot of different greens, which I really like. I put horseradish, cherry, and black currant leaves in the jars. For aroma I added an umbrella of coriander and allspice. Well, onions and garlic will add piquancy to the tomatoes after steeping. The brine is very easy to make and measuring the ingredients is convenient. Tomatoes, and garlic with onion rings will turn out tasty and fragrant!
