Tomatoes in jelly without sterilization

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients. For this preparation, you can take tomatoes of any size. Large tomatoes can be cut into pieces, slices or circles. But it’s better to use small fruits, they turn out elastic, hard, moderately soaked in marinade and beautiful in a jar, the juice does not leak out of them in the jar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Let's start cooking by soaking the gelatin in cold water; you don't need to pour a lot of water into the bowl, the main thing is that it allows the gelatin to swell.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the tomatoes well under running water, drain in a colander and dry in a bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the bell pepper well, remove the core and seeds. Cut the pepper into rings or halves of rings. Wash the parsley and dill well and dry on a paper towel.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onions and cut into thin rings.

6. STEP 6

   

   We peel the garlic and cut the cloves into thin slices. We sterilize the jars using our favorite method: in a water bath or in the oven. Boil the lids. Dry the jars and lids. It is better to take small jars: half-liter or liter.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare the marinade. Pour a liter of water into an enamel pan. Turn on the heat and let the water boil. Add sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaf. Reduce heat and simmer the filling for 5 minutes. Then pour in the swollen gelatin, stir until the gelatin dissolves and disperses, turn off the heat. Pour in vinegar and stir.

8. STEP 8

   

   At the bottom of each jar we place several sprigs of dill and parsley. On top we place several onion rings and cloves of garlic.

9. STEP 9

   

   We put the tomatoes, lay them out quite tightly, but do not crush the fruits. We put bell pepper rings on top, if space allows for a few more tomatoes, again onions and garlic, sprigs of parsley and dill.

10. STEP 10

    

    Now pour the hot marinade over the tomatoes so that it covers the tomatoes completely, but is not higher than the shoulders of the jar itself. Immediately roll up the lids of the jars. Turn them upside down and cover them with a warm blanket, let them cool completely and store them in a cold pantry. Before serving, you need to keep such a preparation in the refrigerator so that the jelly hardens well. Bon appetit!

A wasted product! The brine remained, which means the concentration changed. The jar is swollen, even though everything was done correctly, and the other preparations are normal
