You will need:

• meaty tomatoes — 2 kg;
• bell peppers — 300 g;
• garlic — 5 cloves;
• basil — 40 g;
• celery — 40 g;
• hot chili pepper — 2 pieces;
• oil — 60 ml;
• water — 1 l;
• salt — 30 g;
• sugar — 100 g;
• 9% vinegar — 50 ml.

Preparation Method

Wash the vegetables well. Remove seeds from the bell pepper and peel the garlic. Prepare celery, basil, and chili for chopping. Choose firm tomatoes, preferably the 'plum' variety.

For the dressing, blend the bell pepper, garlic, chili, basil, and celery into a thick mass. Add the oil and mix everything well again.

Cut the tomatoes in half or quarters. In sterilized jars, layer: a bit of fragrant dressing, a layer of tomatoes, more sauce — and so on until full, without compacting too much.

Prepare the marinade: bring water to a boil with salt, sugar, and vinegar. Stir thoroughly until the salt and sugar completely dissolve. Pour the hot marinade into the jars with tomatoes to the top.

Cover the jars with lids, place them in a pot with a towel on the bottom, fill with warm water, and bring to a boil. Sterilize for 10 minutes, then tightly seal, turn upside down and leave under a blanket to cool.

Store in a cool place. After a few weeks, the tomatoes will be ready to eat, but the best flavor will develop after a month.
