Carefully cut out the stems from the tomatoes. Peel the garlic. Bring the vinegar to a boil along with the garlic, sugar, salt, chili pepper, mustard seeds, and bay leaves. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the preserving agent. Layer the herbs to taste with the tomatoes in a 750 ml (2 cups) jar, rinsed with hot water. Pour over the vinegar and let cool. Seal the jar. Store in a cool, dark place. The pickled tomatoes are delicious as a side dish to roasted meat, but also on their own with buttered bread.
