Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cold pickle green tomatoes in a jar? You donʼt need a lot of ingredients to make this cold appetizer. Prepare the basics: green tomatoes, salt, sugar, mustard and water. Use chili pepper as desired. I took 2 pods of hot pepper.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the tomatoes well (and the peppers too, if using). Make several punctures in each tomato using a toothpick, so the tomatoes will be salted faster and will be ready to eat.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the container in which you will pickle green tomatoes thoroughly with the product, and then rinse well several times with clean water. To pickle tomatoes, you can use a barrel, a plastic bucket, a pan, a glass container, and so on.. I have a large plastic jar, and I made the preparation in it. Compact the tomatoes in a container and place peppers between them.

Step 4

Step 4
Prepare the brine. For 1 liter of water you will need 2 heaped tablespoons of salt, 1 heaped tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of powdered mustard. Add salt, sugar and mustard to the water and mix everything very well until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour over the tomatoes so that the water covers them completely. If necessary, dilute more brine.

Step 6

Step 6
Place a weight on top to prevent the tomatoes from floating. Remember, tomatoes must be in brine all the time. I use a small glass cup as a load, immerse it in a jar so that the brine is in the cup to the brim (as in the photo). This prevents the tomatoes from floating.

Step 7

Step 7
It remains to wait for the right time. Leave the container with tomatoes at room temperature for 5-7 days (depending on the room temperature). After a few days, a white coating appears on the surface of the jar; this is quite normal and indicates that the process of ripening green tomatoes is in full swing. Remove plaque with a clean spoon. After the specified time has passed, cover the jar with a lid and leave it in a cooler place (for example, in the refrigerator).

Step 8

Step 8
Let the pickles sit for about 2-3 more weeks. Ready! Serve the most fragrant green tomatoes to the table!

Step 9

Step 9
You can make a salad from these tomatoes. In a separate cup, mix 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, add a small clove of garlic passed through a press, stir and pour over the tomatoes cut into slices.
