And today I want to offer you another one of my favorite recipes - tomatoes in gelatin. I really like them in this design, they have unusual taste, beautiful decoration. And most importantly, they never stale either on the table or in the refrigerator.
The main feature of this recipe is that gelatin is added to the filling, and therefore the marinade turns out to be viscous, if not very thick jelly. But according to the second recipe, which is filmed in video format, the marinade looks like a real thick jelly.
This is what gives the recipe that zest, which allows you to get a taste like nothing else. But this is important! Now that the internet is rife various recipes, and many prepare conservation for the winter on them, and many on their own family recipes who passed on from their grandmothers. And it's hard to surprise anyone.
And it was this recipe that once managed to surprise me personally. And since then, every year I prepare this delicious delicacy in jars. Not much, of course, not much to do! There are a lot of favorite recipes, you will cook a little of everything, you look already a full pantry. Yes, and there is always a problem with banks, they are never enough!
I saw on the Internet that they are prepared without sterilization. But I do not risk, I sterilize them so that it will turn out for sure. In addition, those tomatoes that I liked so much were harvested precisely with sterilization. And the process itself is not long at all, it takes only 15 minutes.
And if you do not sterilize, then you need to pour boiling water over the tomatoes at least a couple of times to scald them. Otherwise they will explode. But since our fruits are cut, they will simply boil for two times. Therefore, whatever one may say, it is better to sterilize!
Well, we talked about the nuances, at the same time we tuned in. It's time to get started.
Tomatoes in gelatin for the winter - a delicious step by step recipe
I will make 6 liter jars of blanks today. But I will give the calculation for a liter jar. This will make it easier for you to calculate right amount ingredients for your quantity.
We will need (per liter jar):
- tomatoes - 500 gr (not very large)
- onion - 1-1.5 pcs
- or garlic - 1 head
- vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. spoon
- black peppercorns - 6 pcs
Cooking:
1. Prepare the tomatoes in advance. I use my own homegrown ones, so I choose them around the same size. I take not very large, the size of a tennis ball. Tomatoes of this size per liter jar will take me 13-14 pieces.
We will cut them into two halves. So that the marinade and jelly surround each piece and convey their taste to it.
Large fruits can also be used, just cut them into pieces. large quantity parts.
2. My tomatoes, put them in a basin or on a towel so that the water is glass.
3. Now let's make jelly. Prepare it according to the instructions given on the package. Basically, it is prepared according to the standard form, but there are exceptions.
On the package of gelatin, which I use, it is written that a tablespoon should be soaked for 40 minutes in a glass of cold boiled water.
I soak three tablespoons(1 for each liter of water) in a glass of water. And leave for 40 minutes to swell.
4. Cooking jars. Wash them with baking soda or detergent. Then we sterilize by any known method. I pour water into a pot of a suitable size, put it to boil. I put a colander in the pan, and put the jar in it with the neck down.
Thus, I sterilize a liter jar for 10 minutes. Readiness can be determined so that when you touch the jar, it should be hot.
We put the boiled jar on a towel with the neck down.
5. Fill the lids with water and boil for 10 minutes.
6. For this recipe, you can use either onion or garlic. Both recipes are delicious, so I make both three jars.
Onion, if it is not very large, cut into rings 0.5-0.6 cm thick, or, if it is larger, then cut into half rings of this size.
Peel the garlic and cut into long flat plates.
7. Pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil into ready-made jars and add 6 black peppercorns each.
8. Lay out in layers. At the bottom - onions, then tomatoes, then onions again. And so to the top, alternating layers. You will need one or one and a half onion heads per jar. Onion can not be spared, it turns out very tasty. And I like this recipe more than with garlic. My husband likes it better with garlic. Therefore, I do equally so that no one is offended.
Lay out the onion as the last layer.
If you do with garlic, then add plates between the fruits in between. Place garlic cloves generously on top as well.
I have a head of garlic per jar, or even a little more.
9. Do not fill to the very edge of the jar, leave some space for the marinade and spices.
Preparation of marinade with gelatin
We will need (for 1 liter of water):
- sugar -2.5 tbsp. spoons
- salt - 2 tbsp. spoons
- black peppercorns - 15-20 pcs
- cloves - 10 pcs
- Bay leaf— 7-10 pcs
- gelatin - 1 tbsp. spoon
- vinegar essence - 1 teaspoon
A liter jar will need about half a liter of marinade. Therefore, calculate in advance how many cans you plan to preserve.
1. We prepare a pan of the required volume. Since I have six liter jars ready, I will need three liters of marinade.
2. Jelly swells in a glass of water. This is 250 ml. So I pour 2 liters of water and 750 ml into the pan. I add jelly, and there will be exactly 3 liters of water.
3. Put the water on the fire and bring to a boil.
4. While the water is boiling, we immediately count peppercorns, cloves and bay leaves according to the number of cans. So that when the water boils, we immediately put it all at once in a pan.
5. When the water becomes hot, add salt, sugar, also calculating how much you need. I pour 6 tablespoons of salt and 7.5, maybe 8 tablespoons of sugar.
6. Put gelatin in a cup on water bath, and stirring completely dissolve it.
According to the recipe that I got, 1 is given per liter of water. tea spoon gelatin. But I doubled the dosage. In my opinion, the marinade turns out to be more saturated with a double amount, and this way it turns out tastier.
6. As soon as the water boils, then add all the cooked spices at once. Let the marinade simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Two minutes before readiness, pour in the dissolved gelatin, and immediately after the essence, not to be confused with vinegar. Per liter - 1 teaspoon. I add 3 teaspoons.
8. Fill hot marinade to banks. We put one to two bay leaves in each jar. We remove the rest. All of it is not needed, the brine will be bitter, and the tomatoes too.
But we catch peppercorns and cloves and place them in jars. It is not necessary to count the amount, approximately, to get both into each jar.
9. Leave a space of 1 cm without adding the marinade to the jar to the very brim. Not that it will be inconvenient to rearrange them to sterilize. Cover with lids for now.
Ka sterilize
1. Take a large pot, or any other utensils. It is necessary that the height of the pan is sufficient. We will pour water up to the “shoulders” of the can. And you need a place for it to boil.
2. Put gauze or a piece of cloth on the bottom of the pan. Pour warm or hot water, but not boiling water. You don't have to pour too much at once. First, we will install the banks, and then add the right amount.
3. We install the jars in the pan using special tongs. They are definitely needed, without them it will be difficult to get sterilized jars.
I sterilize in two pans of 3 cans.
4. Add the marinade to the very neck. Cover with lids. It’s good if some of the marinade spills out a little. This means that there is no air left in the jar.
5. Add water to the pan so that it reaches the “shoulders” of the jar.
6. Turn on the big fire. Our task is not to digest the tomatoes. Therefore, it is important for us that the water boils quickly.
7. As soon as the water boils, we immediately note the time and reduce the fire to medium. Water should gurgle, but not overflow.
It takes 15 minutes to sterilize a liter jar.
8. After the allotted time, first take out one can and twist it with a seaming machine. Then the next one.
9. So, in turn, we first twist three cans, and then the time has come for the other three. We twist them too.
10. We turn over the finished cans, put them on a blanket on the lid, and cover them with a blanket.
11. Leave to cool completely. See if the brine is leaking. If this happens, then you loosely twisted the jar. Open this jar right away and eat with pleasure.
12. Then turn the jars over again and leave to observe for 2-3 weeks. If during this time the brine has become cloudy, or the lid has risen, then open the jar and discard the contents. This preparation is to be eaten. strictly prohibited.
If you followed all the recommendations step by step, then nothing like this will happen to your preservation. And having opened tomatoes in winter, you will please yourself and your loved ones delicious snack, which can be served with meat, fish, chicken. Yes, and just boiled potatoes.
Don't be intimidated by how big the recipe is. I just tried to describe everything step by step, in as much detail as possible, so that you will certainly succeed. After all, conservation is a very useful and exciting activity in the household. My grandmother always said: “In winter, one day feeds the year!” And you know, I completely agree with her.

In this recipe, the marinade is obtained in the form of a real thick jelly. Advantage this method The fact that gelatin is not necessary to pre-soak, which greatly saves time.
Jelly acquires a special density after preservation has been in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Therefore, consider this fact when serving snacks to the table.
This recipe was filmed by us specifically for this article and for the Secrets of Home Economics blog. It has been tried and tested and is very tasty. No matter how many jars you have prepared for it, by the end of winter there will not be a single one left.
