A family recipe from our editor Lyudmila Salnikova. The recipe is one of those that were once written down by hand in thick culinary notebooks and passed down through generations. The set of herbs for pickling can be changed and supplemented, for example , by introducing currant or horseradish leaves into it. The main thing here is not the content, but the surprise itself, which is found inside each tomato. But you should not get too carried away - from an excess of additions, the brine becomes cloudy. Opening a jar with a summer dill aroma is especially pleasant in winter, when bad weather rages outside. Although they rarely survive until winter, especially since the recipe is from the category "quickly pickled, quickly eaten": a week after preparation, you can and should start tasting.
