Secret to Preserving Tomatoes

Glass Jar Preservation Method

What You Need: Fresh tomatoes Clean glass jars with airtight lids Water Salt (optional) Steps: Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove the stems. Boil the glass jars and lids to sterilize them. Fill the jars with the whole tomatoes, ensuring there are no air pockets. Add water until the tomatoes are fully submerged. Optionally, dissolve a small amount of salt in the water to act as a preservative. Seal the jars tightly and store them in a cool, dark place.

Freezing Tomatoes

What You Need: Zip-lock bags or airtight containers Steps: Wash and dry the tomatoes. Place them in zip-lock bags or containers and remove as much air as possible. Freeze them. This method can preserve tomatoes for months.

Oil Preservation

What You Need: Olive oil Sterilized jars Steps: Slice or roast the tomatoes. Place them in a sterilized jar and cover them with olive oil. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate. This method also enhances the flavor of the tomatoes.

Vinegar or Brine Solution

What You Need: White vinegar or brine (saltwater) Steps: Wash the tomatoes and cut them into desired sizes. Submerge them in vinegar or brine in a sterilized jar. Seal tightly and store in the fridge.

Vacuum Sealing

Use a vacuum sealer to remove air from the storage bags. This significantly slows the spoilage process.
Tips for Longer Preservation Always use ripe, unbruised tomatoes. Sterilize all jars and equipment to avoid contamination. Store jars in a dark, cool place, away from sunlight and heat. Label the jars with dates to keep track of storage time
