Step by step cooking green beans in tomato for the winter
Rinse young bean pods, trim the tails and remove fibers (dense threadlike tissue that runs along the "seams" on both sides of the pod). Cut the prepared beans into 1, 5-2 cm pieces.
Boil the chopped pods in boiling, lightly salted water for 5 minutes to soften the beans.
Discard the finished beans in a colander, drain the water. Pour over with ice water to keep the pods bright in color.
Fold the pieces of bean pods into sterilized jars.
Let's prepare the tomato filling for winter harvesting: wash the tomatoes, cut them into two parts and remove the “butts”. Next, we will prepare tomato juice: you need to pass the tomatoes through a meat grinder or chop in a blender, and then rub through a sieve to remove pieces of skin and seeds. If you have a juicer, then the process will be much faster and easier. Put the finished tomato puree on the fire, add salt and sugar and bring to a boil.
Gently pour the boiling tomato over the beans in the jars. It is important that the beans do not fill the jars very tightly: the tomato should fill all the space between the pieces of pods. We cover the prepared jars with lids and sterilize for at least 45 minutes. To do this, place the jars with the blanks in a wide, but shallow saucepan and fill it with cold or warm water so that the jars are covered by about two-thirds of it. Remember to put a cotton towel on the bottom so that there is no glass-to-metal contact. Light a fire and wait for sterilization to finish. Make sure that the boiling water does not boil too much so that it does not fall into the middle of the cans.
Close the finished blanks with lids and wrap them up until they cool completely. A delicious, appetizing and very satisfying dish is ready!
Hide the green beans in the tomato juice in the pantry until winter. And when the time comes - enjoy its pleasant delicate taste!
