4 tips to keep your workpiece
It doesn’t matter how you prefer the recipe for making cucumbers in tomato - always follow the four rules. Then preservation is sure to turn out delicious.
- Cucumber selection. For the preparation of the workpiece, you can use any cucumbers. Very often, after canning, for which only gherkins are selected, fairly large vegetables remain. Where to put such "growths"? They can be used to prepare the spin in a tomato. But if there is a choice, then it is better to prefer small gherkins. Of these, salting will be more tender.
- Soaking Cucumbers. Before starting conservation, vegetables must be prepared. Wash the cucumbers initially. Then soak them in a basin of cold water for three to six hours. Just remember that vegetables should be in cold water. The heated liquid must be drained immediately, and the vegetables again pour cold. Such a trick will make cucumbers resilient and crispy.
- Tomato selection. You can use ready-made pasta or sauce. And if time permits, take fresh tomatoes. Slightly spoiled or crushed tomatoes are suitable that are not suitable for separate preservation. Give preference to sweet grades. They make a delicious fill.
- Sample Preservation. Do not rush to completely switch to new recipes. Remember that tastes are different. Therefore, close only a few sample cans. And making sure that this recipe suits you, you can safely prepare a whole arsenal.

Reviews
I have been making such cucumbers for a long time and I love them very much! I’ll tell you one secret: if you have any canned cucumbers (maybe they opened a jar of cucumbers, but it’s not good, not tasty cucumbers), drain their pickle and pour them with any tomato juice (your own preparation, store, diluted tomato paste) and give them stand in the refrigerator for 2 days, the taste of cucumbers will pleasantly surprise you! But, tomato juice should be sweet-salty to your taste (i.e. add salt and sugar).

Last year, my husband came home from work with a notebook, and there the cucumber recipe in tomato says: “Make such a salad for the winter, I really liked it.” Well, I, as an exemplary wife, decided to please, read the recipe and was skeptical, but still rolled up.
Oh, girls, it turns out very sharply and the cucumbers are not boiled, you can even say crispy, in the winter this salad went off with a bang first of all.
P.S. A very convenient salad in the sense that cucumbers slightly outgrow and are not suitable for pickling.

I’ve been twisting cucumbers in Chile ketchup for the second year (I tried it in the past, as mine said that don’t translate the products, close what you need for the salad, and the rest with Chili) For the second week in a day I’m doing them, only in mine the recipe was another 1 tbsp. l mustard to the bottom of the jar, dry.
I don’t cut cucumbers, because for this type of spin I use cucumbers from 7 in length (these are the largest) to 3 cm. I usually close them in liter jars.
