Ingredients:
(for 1 kg of ripe tomatoes)
Ripe, firm tomatoes (preferably plum or raspberry)
Vegetable oil (e.g., rapeseed or grape seed)
Glass jars with lids (scalded)
Paper towel or linen cloth
Fruit/vegetable cleaner (optional) Preparation:
Selecting and washing tomatoes: Choose firm, undamaged tomatoes. Wash them thoroughly (preferably in lukewarm water with vegetable liquid) and then dry them.
Drying: After washing, dry the tomatoes thoroughly with a paper towel or cloth. This prevents moisture from remaining on them.
Stacking in jars: Arrange tomatoes loosely in dry, scalded jars. Do not press them.
Battering with oil: Pour vegetable oil over the tomatoes until they are completely covered. The oil acts as a protective barrier against air penetration.
Sealing and storing: Close jars tightly and store in a cool, dark place—preferably in the basement or on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
