Conservation of tomatoes - the way of preparation of vegetables allowing to keep fruits for a long time. If all rules of pickling and salting tomatoes are followed, then preparations are stored till some months up to opening of cans.
If before conservation the tomatoes and greens/herbs were washed well out, salt and spices undertook in necessary proportions, and marinade joined in bank enough, then with safety of a product of problems shouldn't be. However at non-compliance with a compounding or unauthorized change of proportions of products damage of preparations - the frequent phenomenon. Can dim a brine and deteriorate tomatoes in banks and for many other reasons.
Why the brine with tomatoes grows turbid and banks blow up
- Low-quality tomatoes were used. For conservation it is necessary to take vegetables without damages and decay, otherwise with high probability of preparation will deteriorate in the nearest future.
- Badly washed out tomatoes and herbs were used.
- There was no due sterilization of cans and covers. In general, for salting any products purity and sterility of ware - a paramount factor, it most of all affects safety of preparations.
- Roll-in of cans was carried out poor. The fact is that at untight closing of cans air which provokes reproduction of bacteria gets to them.
- The compounding of conservation of tomatoes wasn't observed, for example, products undertook in smaller volumes or were absolutely excluded.
What to do if banks with tomatoes were blown up and the brine dimmed
Before removing tinned tomatoes on storage for the winter, it is necessary to take at first preparations on ""quarantine"" in the cool place of days 10. If on the expiration of this time the brine in banks remained transparent, and covers weren't blown up, then in this case tomatoes can be removed to the basement or a cellar on ""wintering"". If in any banks marinade became hazy, then it is necessary to carry out the following works:
- take tomatoes from cans and wash out in salt solution (a tablespoon on water liter);
- make a new brine or boil old within 5-7 minutes (the first - is more preferable);
- banks carefully to wash out, sterilize then to fill them with vegetables and the washed-up herbs;
- fill in the boiling brine in banks and roll up the new sterilized covers.
Whether it is possible to eat tomatoes if the brine dimmed, bank ""I exploded""
Tomatoes from the dimmed brine in food are suitable or not depends on the time spent of vegetables in bank, integrity of fruits. If after roll-in there passed no more than 10 days, vegetables didn't crack, then they can be eaten, it is worth washing out only previously fruits in a clear water.
