Salt tomatoes, makes about 4 large preserving jars
You will need 4 large preserving jars with lids. Fill the jars with herbs, bay leaves or sliced horseradish, pepper, and garlic. Add the washed tomatoes to the top of the jars. Pour boiling water from a kettle or saucepan up to the top and let steep for 10-15 minutes with the lid closed. Then, bring the water from the jars, without the tomatoes and ideally with as few herbs as possible, to a boil in a saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar per liter of water. Boil until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Pour the liquid back into the jars and, before sealing, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to each jar. Seal the jars and let steep for about 3 weeks.
