Not all the harvest is stored for a long time. Capricious tomatoes actually "dry" before our eyes.

If you are lucky with the tomato harvest, then, of course, you want to save some for the winter.

When the freezer is full of other crops, you can resort to this method.

You will need dry mustard and sterilized jars. Select only the healthiest looking fruits.

Pour 2-3 tablespoons of dry mustard onto the bottom. Then fill the jar halfway with tomatoes and add another 3-4 tablespoons of powder.

Then comes a new layer of tomatoes, which are sprinkled with 1 tbsp. of mustard. This fills a three-liter jar to the top.

Next, the container is rolled up with a sterilized lid. The jar is carefully turned on its side and rolled on the table so that the powder is evenly distributed.

This simple preparation is stored in a cellar or basement.
