Tomatoes in Slices for Winter
Description
A simple preservation recipe. Before you start, sterilize the jars and lids. Sort through the tomatoes, remove any spoiled spots or other problem areas, and trim off the stem end. Mix the tomatoes with onion, garlic, and herbs, pack into jars, and cover with the marinade. In winter I open a jar, drain off the marinade, and dress the tomatoes and onion with unrefined aromatic oil—a delicious salad is ready. The preserve is ready to store for winter.
