Juicy tomatoes and fragrant apples are perfectly combined in homemade preparations: adjika, winter salads, ketchups, borsch dressings. However, they can be preserved in a duet or supplemented with a third vegetable, for example, garlic, bell pepper, beetroot. Sweet and sour taste and wonderful apple aroma make tomatoes and apples for the winter one of the most popular preservation recipes.
You can preserve apples not only with ripe, but also with green tomatoes. These blanks have a specific spicy taste and aroma that some people like more than ripe tomato blanks. In jars, you can put greens, favorite spices, spices: peeled garlic cloves, fragrant bay leaves, allspice, black or hot pepper, odorous cloves. A marinade with or without vinegar is suitable for pouring.
For preservation, it is better to select medium-sized fruits in order to comfortably get them through the narrow neck of the jar. Tomatoes should be strong, whole, with intact skin, without dents or spots. If there are no small and medium-sized tomatoes, and you really want to pickle them with apples, you can select the strongest fruits and cut them into quarters.
