Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients and spices needed for making the tomato preserves for winter.

Take the required number of pre-sterilized jars. Place in each jar a few allspice peppercorns, a bay leaf, a dill umbel, garlic cloves, sliced onion rings, and hot chili pepper to taste.

Fill a large pot with enough water and bring it to a boil. Pour the boiling water to the top of each jar filled with tomatoes.
Step 5
Cover the jars with sterilized lids and let them stand for 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
After that, pour the water from the jars back into the pot, cover, and bring it to a boil again.
Step 7
Into each jar, add 1 tablespoon of coarse salt (without a heap) and 3 tablespoons of sugar (without a heap).
