Step by Step guide

Step 1

Wash the small tomatoes, prick them in several places with a sharp stick, and tightly pack them into jars up to the shoulders.

Step 2

Cut the large tomatoes and heat them in an enameled pot under a lid, without bringing to a boil. Pass the hot mixture through a fine sieve, dissolve the salt and sugar in it, and pour the mixture over the tomatoes in the jars so that the juice level is 2 cm below the rim of the jar.
