Tomatoes in their own juice are an excellent snack and a great addition to various dishes in the winter. Canned tomatoes are also used to prepare various dishes, and the resulting juice cannot be compared with store-bought ones.
Today I want to share with you several proven recipes for canning tomatoes in tomato sauce, both with and without sterilization. The recipes are quite simple and easy to implement.
Tomato juice from tomatoes
To prepare tomato juice, it is better to choose juicy, fleshy varieties of tomatoes with thin skin.
It is preferable to buy slightly overripe tomatoes. Recommended varieties for juice: Alekseevna F1, Greenhouse Miracle F1, Sumoist, Baloven variety, Fat Jack, Korneevsky, Pink Flamingo and Fatima. If you are not very knowledgeable about varieties, then buy a few pieces and conduct an experiment to determine juiciness using a taste test and a juicer. You should not buy late varieties for juice - they are not juicy. It is advisable to prepare tomato juice for the winter in sterile jars, so pay attention to their cleanliness. Wash them well with baking soda, lemon juice, or additionally rinse them with boiling water.
For preservation, use lids coated with a special coating that prevents metal oxidation. It is also not recommended to use screw caps, as tomato juice is stored better and longer under sterile conditions.
You can preserve tomato juice using the following household appliances:
- You can extract juice using a juicer, but it must be powerful enough, otherwise you will have to constantly stop it to cool down. To prevent the shaft from becoming clogged with tomato pulp, you can use this trick: put them in the oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes. This will soften the seeds and peel of the tomato.
- You can prepare tomato juice using a meat grinder with a suitable attachment. To make the tomato skin softer, you can first boil the tomatoes and only then start throwing them into the meat grinder. If you want to prepare juice with the skin, then after grinding, let the juice boil; if you need pure tomato juice, then you will have to strain the resulting mixture using a sieve or any device convenient for you.
- Tomato juice can be prepared using a blender. To do this, you need to pour boiling water over the tomatoes and remove the skins. After that, cut them into slices and beat with a blender. The juice will come out with seeds, but without pulp, you can strain it, then it will be clean. This preservation option can be used for small quantities.
The optimal cooking time for tomato juice itself is 20-25 minutes. This time is enough for it to gain flavor from the spices. One of the signs that the juice is ready to be bottled is the absence of foam on the surface.

Features of preparing tomato puree for the winter
In order for the preparation for the winter to turn out tasty and retain the maximum of vitamins, you need to know some subtleties:
There are two ways to make tomato paste: freezing and canning. The first method is freezing chopped tomato pulp
The second is preparing puree in the form of canned food. It is very important to use sterilized containers for canning. To seal the jars, well-boiled metal lids are used to ensure complete tightness. The preparation can be made with sugar, salt, or without them
The method of storing tomato puree will depend on this.
Cooking features
- You can preserve whole tomatoes or cut into pieces in tomato paste. They will not lose their shape only if they are dense. Overripe and spoiled fruits are not suitable for canning in tomato paste.
- Tomatoes are not considered capricious vegetables, jars with them rarely explode, but if sanitary requirements are neglected when preparing them for the winter, this trouble will definitely happen. The tomatoes need to be washed well, as well as the dishes. Jars for tomatoes in tomato paste should not only be washed, but also sterilized. You can refuse this manipulation if the recipe for preparing the snack involves sterilizing it directly in jars.
- The lids of the jars also require sterilization. For this purpose, they are boiled. Close canned food with metal lids to ensure a tight seal; plastic ones will not work.
- When canning whole vegetables, they are pierced in several places near the stalk with a wooden toothpick. This allows you to preserve the integrity of the fruit and ensures better saturation with the marinade.
- If you intend to seal tomatoes of different sizes for the winter, you will have to separate them into different jars. One jar should contain vegetables of approximately the same size and degree of ripeness, otherwise they will be soaked unevenly in the marinade.
- Various spices and seasonings are often added to the tomato paste marinade; the taste of the finished dish largely depends on their composition and proportions.
- After seaming, it is recommended to place jars of tomatoes upside down and cover them with a blanket. Cooling in a steam bath, they undergo additional preservation, which increases their resistance to unfavorable storage conditions.
Like any other canned food, it is recommended to store tomatoes in tomato paste in a cool place. However, they will remain excellent at room temperature.
Large tomato preparation
This recipe will appeal to those who have an abundance of tomatoes in their garden and have already eaten all the fresh ones; the main preparations have been made. Then try making this recipe - it’s calculated for 9 one-liter or 3 three-liter jars. As practice shows, it is still better to make tomatoes in tomato sauce in small jars.
The fact is that the slightest puncture with sterility - and such a workpiece simply explodes. Everything must be washed very carefully and strictly adhere to the ratio of ingredients.
Ingredients:
- tomato juice – 3 l;
- tomato paste or ready-made ketchup – 0.5 l;
- salt – 6 tbsp. with a small slide;
- sugar – 6 tbsp. l. with a slide;
- for each 1 liter jar: 1 dill inflorescence, 1 clove bud, 1 bay leaf, 5-6 black and allspice peas;
- 9 cloves of garlic;
- tomatoes - 9 kg, small in size, maybe unripe.
- + 5 kg of ripe tomatoes for juice.
Preparation:
Cut ripe tomatoes into pieces and remove any damage. Pour 50 g of water into a bowl, add 1 tbsp. salt and 1 tbsp. sugar, add tomatoes and bring to a boil over low heat. Cook a little while stirring. Leave for 30 minutes.
Then pass everything through a juicer or rub through a sieve to separate the peel and seeds from the juice.
Add the rest of the salt, sugar, bay leaf, peppercorns, garlic through a crush and cook for another 8-10 minutes. You should get 3-3.5 liters of juice. If more comes out, you can boil it further or use it for other purposes.
Place an umbrella of dill into the prepared jars and fill them up to the shoulders with tomatoes chopped at the stem.
Pour boiling tomato juice and cover with a lid.
We set it for sterilization - heat water in a large saucepan (no more than 1/3) with a cloth at the bottom, then place the jars there, add hot water up to the hangers. Place 1 liter jars on low heat for 15 minutes and 3 liter jars for 25 minutes (from the moment the water boils in the pan). Roll it up and you're done!
Preparing tomato puree for the winter:
Step 1: Prepare the tomatoes.
Rinse the tomatoes well and dry with paper towels. Cut out the seals from the tomatoes, and at the same time divide each vegetable into several smaller parts. Pass the tomato pieces through a meat grinder to obtain a thin, but fairly homogeneous tomato mass.
Step 2: Prepare tomato puree.
Pour the chopped tomatoes into a saucepan and place everything over medium heat. Cook the tomato puree, stirring all the time, for 5-10 minutes after boiling. During cooking, foam will appear on the surface of the mass; it must be removed periodically. Stir until the foam disappears.
Step 3: Prepare tomato puree for the winter.
Rinse the glass jars with soda in advance and rinse them thoroughly with water, and then sterilize them in any way convenient for you (in the oven, microwave or the old-fashioned steam way). Pour the finished tomato puree into clean glass jars. The volume of the cans does not matter much.
Cover the jars of puree with lids and place them in a large saucepan with water, the temperature of which will be approximately the same as the temperature of the tomato mass inside the jars. And the water should cover the jars up to their shoulders, so you only need to sterilize jars of one volume at a time. Place the pan on the fire, bring the water to a boil and leave the jars with the preparations to pasteurize over low heat. For jars with a volume of 500 milliliters, the pasteurization time is 5-10 minutes, and for liter jars – 15-20 minutes. Afterwards, the sterilized tomato puree in the jars must be tightly closed with lids and turned upside down. And then leave them upside down until they cool completely. The finished tomato puree is well stored in a cool place out of reach of sunlight.
Step 4: Serve tomato puree.
Tomato puree is an excellent base for natural sauce, as well as a dressing for various soups. You can also use it to prepare various stews and other hot dishes. Use your imagination, add suitable spices and all kinds of vegetables (onions, garlic, sweet and hot peppers, carrots) to tomato puree, create your own culinary masterpieces and delight your family and friends with them. Bon appetit!
Tips for the recipe:
– Of course, you can add spices to tomato puree for taste, but then it will no longer be so versatile in use.
– For convenience, prepare tomato puree in jars of different sizes, because you will not always need to use the same amount, let you have jars of 200 milliliters, and 500 milliliters, and 1 liter.
Pickling tomatoes with horseradish and garlic
Horseradish and garlic are often used for pickling and pickling cucumbers. But these aromatic additives also give tomatoes a special taste. Today I propose to make one of my favorite preparations for the winter - tomatoes in tomato juice with horseradish, garlic, dill and parsley. It turns out quite spicy and piquant, as it contains hot pepper. You won't be able to stop your family from eating this treat.
Ingredients for 2 liter jars:
- small tight tomatoes - 1300 gr.
- any ripe tomatoes - 900 gr.
- bell pepper - 300 gr.
- allspice - 8 peas
- bay leaf - 2 pcs.
- dill umbrellas - 2 pcs.
- garlic - 4 cloves
- hot pepper - 1 pc.
- horseradish leaves - 1 pc.
- parsley - optional
For 1 liter of juice:
- salt - 25 gr.
- sugar - 25 gr.
Preparation:
1.Check the jars for integrity. There should be no chips or cracks on them.
The age of the preservation jar should not be more than 5 years, otherwise there is a risk that the glass will burst. See the year of manufacture of the can on the bottom. Wash suitable containers with baking soda.
2. Wash the tomatoes too. Choose only ripe fruits. Leave small ones (round or cream) in cold water for now. You need to make juice from softer tomatoes. For two liter jars you will need about 1 liter. Bell pepper is used to add a noble note to the juice.
3. Wash fresh greens and scald with boiling water for a few seconds. Often the cause of jar explosions is greens that have not been sufficiently processed.
4. At the bottom of each liter jar, place one bay leaf, 3-4 allspice peas, several parsley leaves, a dill umbrella, and half a horseradish leaf. Place whole small tomatoes directly with the skin on top of the spices.
5.When the jar is half full, cut half of the hot pepper into rings. Also add chopped garlic (a couple of cloves will be enough for one jar).
6.Continue to place tomatoes in jars to the top. Cover with clean lids and leave for now.
7.Take tomatoes intended for making juice. Cut them arbitrarily and grind them in a blender along with the sweet pepper. Pour the resulting puree into a suitable pan and cook. After boiling, boil the filling for 4-5 minutes until foam forms.
8.When the tomato is cooked, strain it through a sieve to remove seeds and pieces of peel.
9.Place the strained juice on the stove, add salt and sugar. Boil for another 4-5 minutes after boiling. Pour hot juice over the tomatoes to the very edge of the jar.
If you don't have time to bother with straining and need to close everything quickly, you can skip this step.
10. All that remains is to sterilize the winter treat. This is done in the standard way: place a napkin on the bottom of the pan and pour in a little water. The jars are placed in a saucepan and filled with hot water, or even boiling water. This time you need to fill it with hot water, because the jars are already hot from the juice. There should be no sudden changes in temperature. Sterilize 10 minutes after the water boils. The jars must be covered with lids.
11.After sterilization, remove the jars from the boiling water and close the lids tightly. Turn the pieces over and leave them to cool. This recipe does not require wrapping the tomatoes. As you can see, it turns out beautifully and at the same time spicy and tasty.

Tomatoes in tomato paste for the winter: recipe
An excellent sour appetizer, which will allow you to have both a tasty vegetable on the table and a spicy sauce from the filling. By the way, as an option, you can use the marinating juice to prepare borscht.
Based on one liter jar:
- tomatoes – 6-8 pcs.
- tomato paste – 4 tbsp.
- vinegar - 0.5 tsp.
- salt – 1 tsp.
- sugar – 2 tsp.

Tomatoes in paste
Jars and lids must be sterilized beforehand. You do it in any way convenient for you. Choose tomatoes that are ripe, but firm and without any damage. Place garlic and a couple of sprigs of parsley on the bottom of the jar. By the way, in order for the garlic to give the best aroma, it is better to first cut it into 2-4 parts. Place the tomatoes tightly, but also so that they do not wrinkle. And under the influence of high temperature they can completely disintegrate.
Therefore, it is also important to choose resilient vegetables. Heat water in a saucepan and add tomato paste. Boil everything for 5 minutes
Then add the rest of the spices. Pour the prepared brine over the tomatoes, pour vinegar into the jar and immediately roll up. Turn over, wrap and leave until completely cool. But using this method you need to store the preserves in a cellar, basement or refrigerator. If you plan to store it in an apartment, then the jars are sterilized for about 10 minutes after sealing. Don’t forget to put a small piece of towel on the bottom to avoid cracks.
Preparing tomatoes with cinnamon for the winter (in tomato)
Tomatoes according to this recipe are very aromatic. After all, in addition to the standard set of spices, cinnamon is added to them, which adds a special chic. I’ll say right away that you’ll have to work hard to get the perfect blank. This is not a quick recipe (there was a quick one above). But the result will definitely please you in winter.
Ingredients for 1 liter jar:
- tomatoes - 800-900 gr. + 250 ml juice
- salt - 1 tsp. no slide
- sugar - 1 tbsp.
- cinnamon - on the tip of a knife
- bay leaf - 0.5 pcs.
- allspice peas - 1 pc.
- black peppercorns - 3 pcs.
- horseradish leaf - 0.5 pcs.
- garlic - 1 clove
Cooking method:
1.Tomatoes need to be washed and sorted. Close the most beautiful, dense ones entirely, and leave the wrinkled, spoiled ones for juice.
Juice can be made in any way: through a juicer, juice cooker, meat grinder or blender. In the last two cases, the juice will contain pulp and seeds. If you want to avoid this, rub the resulting puree through a sieve. The easiest way is to buy ready-made tomato juice in the store.
2.Pour the resulting juice (or puree) into a saucepan, boil and cook for 10 minutes. In the meantime, you need to remove the skin from the dense tomatoes. To do this, put water on the stove and let it boil. Make a cross-shaped cut on the top of each fruit and place it in boiling water. Keep the tomatoes there for 1 minute, then remove and place in cold water.
3. Wash the jars thoroughly with soda or laundry soap. Place your favorite spices at the bottom of each jar; they may not be the same as those on the ingredient list. I suggest putting in each liter jar half a bay leaf, three black peppercorns and one allspice pea, a clove of garlic, a piece of horseradish leaf, you can put a sprig of dill or parsley if desired.
4.Remove the peels from the tomatoes and place them in prepared jars. It is also advisable to cut out the stalk. There is no need to compact the fruits, otherwise they will lose their shape. You can shake the jar a little so that there are fewer voids.
5.Pour a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt on top of the tomatoes in each liter jar. And also add a little cinnamon. Fill everything with tomato juice to the very edges. Cover with sterile lids and place for sterilization. Now I will not describe in detail how to sterilize the workpieces; I wrote about this in the recipe above. Sterilize liter jars 20 minutes after the water boils.
6.After sterilization, the jars are sealed. And shake the closed jar very well so that the salt and sugar are distributed between the tomatoes and dissolved. This moment is important, don't miss it.
7. Turn the canned food over and wrap it up. Once cooled, store away. Since these tomatoes are prepared without vinegar, they can be given to children and people with gastrointestinal diseases.

Tomatoes in their own juice with paste without vinegar
As mentioned above, vinegar according to the classic recipe is added rather out of reinsurance. The tomato sauce itself has sufficient acidity to preserve the tomato preparation for the winter, especially since this recipe uses sterilization.
Not everyone can boast of ripening a large number of tomatoes on their plot, so often there is simply nowhere to get enough fruit to prepare the sauce. In this situation, the most common tomato paste, which is sold in any store, can always help out.
The standard recipe calls for the following ingredients:
- 1.5 kg of beautiful and strong tomatoes;
- 0.5 kg of ready-made tomato paste, purchased in a store or homemade;
- 1 tbsp. spoons of salt;
- 1 tbsp. spoons of sugar.
In general, the amount of salt and sugar added to tomato sauce can be varied to taste, but you can easily remember that adding 1 tablespoon of both components per 1.5 liters of filling is considered classic.
- First of all, tomato paste is diluted by adding three parts of boiled cold water to one part of the paste and kneading thoroughly.
- Selected and washed tomatoes are placed tightly in sterile jars.
- Add sugar and salt to the diluted tomato paste, heat and boil for about 15 minutes.
- Hot tomato sauce is poured over the fruits in the jars and placed for sterilization in a wide saucepan with water on the fire, so that the water level on the outside reaches at least the hangers of the jars.
- The sterilization time is counted from the moment the water boils in the pan and depends on the volume of the jars used for preservation. For liter - 10 minutes, for three-liter - 20 minutes.
- After sterilization is completed, the jars are immediately sealed and cooled under a warm blanket, turning them upside down.
A simple recipe for a 1 liter jar of garlic
I want to share another simple recipe for preparing tomatoes. In principle, the composition of the marinade is similar to previous recipes. Just add garlic, bay leaf and allspice. For flavor, add cinnamon and cloves to the tomato juice. We will pour the required amount of salt and sugar directly into the jar, very quickly and conveniently. We will use large, fleshy tomatoes in the recipe. And so that they fit in the jar, we cut them into slices.
We will need:
- tomatoes (about 1.5 kg in 3 liter jars and about 2 kg for juice)
- black peppercorns
- Bay leaf
- allspice
- garlic
- cinnamon
- carnation
For 1 liter jar:
- salt - 1 tbsp. l.
- sugar - 1 tsp.
- vinegar - 1 tsp.
There are recipes in which tomato paste is diluted instead of natural tomato juice. I don’t want to describe them, it seems to me that the results are not as tasty and aromatic as with homemade juice. This recipe requires approximately 1.5 liters of juice for 3 liter jars.
Tomatoes for juice are cut into slices and crushed with a mixer, juicer, meat grinder or rubbed through a sieve. Choose any available and favorite method. I prefer a mixer. Bring the tomatoes to a homogeneous mass. It turns out not even juice, but tomato puree. Pour it into a saucepan, add cinnamon and cloves. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 - 15 minutes over low heat.
While the juice is preparing, put spices and a couple of cloves of garlic on the bottom of sterilized jars. Add tomatoes cut into large pieces. Fill the jars with hot water, preferably from a kettle. Cover with lids and leave to pasteurize for 10 minutes. We drain the water.
Now add 1 teaspoon each of salt, sugar and 9% vinegar directly into the jar.
Pour the finished hot juice over the tomatoes again, immediately screw on the metal lid and turn the jar over.
As you can see, everything is simple. And after a few days you can enjoy a delicious snack.

Ingredients:
- overripe fruits;
- coarse sea salt.
Cooking technology:
1. Tomatoes need to be sorted out, spoiled areas should be cut out, while the stalk may not be removed, cut into 4-6 pieces. Then put the vegetable pieces into a bowl, sprinkle salt on top and leave in the sun for 2 days. You need to stir the mixture several times a day, and not just with an ordinary spatula or spoon, but crush the mixture with your hands, helping the vegetables release their juice.
2. After two days, the tomatoes will be practically immersed in their own juice.
3. For further preparation, this mass needs to be blended with a blender to make it easier to work with.
4. Next, strain the resulting tomato mass through a colander, actively using your hands. Thanks to this process, the skins and seeds remain in the sieve, and we get only thick juice from the tomatoes
5. Distribute the resulting paste over wide baking sheets, pouring it so that the juice only slightly covers the bottom of the vessel and leave it under the scorching sun for 5-7 days. Stir the salcha several times a day using a wooden spatula.
