Salted Tomatoes in a Barrel Cooking Recipe

Salted tomatoes in a barrel can be cooked according to this recipe. You can salt both ripe and green tomatoes, but they must be of the same ripeness. Before salting tomatoes, the barrel must be washed and evaporated.

Wash the tomatoes and place them in rows in a barrel. If green tomatoes are salted, they must be topped with dill, tarragon, savory, cherry and blackcurrant leaves.

From time to time, when laying, it is necessary to shake the barrel so that the tomatoes lie more tightly. The barrel should be filled to the top with tomatoes. After the tomatoes completely fill the barrel, they must be filled with brine.
