Therefore, it is necessary to follow three simple tricks. First of all, this concerns the sterilization of jars. The easiest way to organize this process is in the oven.

They need to be placed on a metal baking sheet, previously sprinkled with salt. Then, send them to a cold oven and wait for the temperature to warm up to 150 degrees. After that, leave the jars to sterilize for another 15-20 minutes.

The next step is to take care of the products. In order for the cucumbers to soak well in the brine, it is necessary to cut off the ends before placing them in jars.

For the tomatoes to be sweet, crunchy, and juicy, it is essential to add herbs during canning. This can be a leaf of horseradish or dill umbrellas. The most delicate aroma and flavor for the tomatoes will come from sprigs of parsley.
