Tomatoes marinated with allspice
1 serving
40 minutes
From the book by Evgeniya Dymova "The Taste of Summer". We make preparations according to this recipe exclusively in three-liter jars. We learned it from the wonderful hostess and craftswoman Nadezhda, the wife of our permanent manager of the house in Suzdal Nikolay Alekseevich. Opening a jar on a winter day, when a snowstorm is dancing outside the window, we remember the author of this deliciousness with a kind word.
