Presidential Tomatoes for Winter: A Proven Recipe with a Rich Taste.

These tomatoes got their name 'presidential' for their elegant appearance, rich flavor, and excellent quality. They will be a worthy decoration for any festive table. Halved fruits allow the marinade to penetrate better inside, and the combination of spices, onions, and greens adds a sophisticated aroma to the preparation. This recipe is suitable for both experienced housewives and beginners in canning.

Ingredients:

• water — 3.5 l;
• sugar — 150 g;
• salt — 80 g;
• 9% vinegar — 200 ml;
• tomatoes — as desired;
• onions — a few pieces;
• parsley or dill greens — to taste;
• black peppercorns — to taste;
• bay leaves — a few pieces.

Cooking Method

Wash the tomatoes well and remove the stems. You can use both large and small tomatoes, as long as they are ripe and firm. Cut each tomato in half - this will improve the appearance in the jar and allow the marinade to evenly soak each fruit.

Place rings of onion, sprigs of greens, a few black peppercorns, and bay leaves at the bottom of sterilized jars. The amount of spices can be varied according to your taste. Fill the jars with halved tomatoes, packing them tightly and placing onions between the layers. Optionally, you can sprinkle ground pepper on top.

For the marinade, pour 3.5 liters of water into a pot, add salt, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil under a lid. After that, pour hot marinade over the jars with tomatoes. Before sealing the lids, the jars need to be sterilized and then allowed to cool upside down.
