General procurement rules
It is recommended that you pay attention and do not ignore the following rules:
- It is important to pre-prepare the tomatoes. For jam, take fleshy and dense tomatoes that do not contain a lot of juice. It is better to select vegetables right away - leaving those that have not deteriorated or cracked. By cutting off the damaged areas, the hostess runs the risk of bringing pathogenic microorganisms under the skin.
- Vegetables that are not yet fully ripe contain solanine. The use of this substance in large quantities is harmful to health. Ripe tomatoes also contain small amounts of solanine.
- To remove harmful substances, you can pour vegetables with clean water and leave for 4-5 hours. You can also soak green tomatoes in salted water for 60 minutes. Each method is effective, the choice depends only on the availability of free time with the hostess. Then the vegetables are dried and cut.
- Before cooking the jam, it is important to remove the stalks and black spots at the bottom of the fruit. Typically, vegetables are cut into slices or cubes, depending on personal preference.
