How to pickle tomatoes so they don't crack: simple life hacks

Perfectly salted tomatoes in jars are firm, juicy, and do not crack. The only problem that often arises is that the fruits start to crack during preservation. This is very easy to avoid if you know some life hacks and what you can put in the jar.

The FoodOboz editorial team has gathered information for you and will tell you what will help protect tomatoes from cracking.

Experienced housewives say that horseradish or oak leaves, which should be placed in a jar with the fruit, will help protect the vegetables from cracking.

In addition, you can use the following methods:

1. Before putting the tomatoes in the jar, prepare the container. Namely, pour hot marinade on the bottom and leave it for a while. At the same time, the marinade/brine should be poured gradually so that each time the liquid is hotter than the previous one.

2. Another way is to pierce the tomatoes before preserving them. Do it with a toothpick in the place of the stem. This trick reduces the tension of the tomato film.
