This spicy and incredibly aromatic preparation is perfect for fried fish, meat, and other dishes. The specified amount of ingredients yields 1 liter of canned product. Need to take:
- tomatoes – 1 kg;
- garlic (preferably the heads have small cloves) – 100 g;
- sweet pepper (preferably red) – 1 piece;
- parsley (medium bunch) – 1 piece;
- cloves (buds) – 3 pcs;

To prepare tomatoes stuffed with garlic for the winter, you need to select fresh, not too soft, dense tomato fruits. It is advisable that they be medium in size - this way it will be convenient to stuff them and then put them in a jar. After washing the selected tomatoes, remove moisture from them by blotting with paper towels. Then we evenly cut off the stalk of each tomato, obtaining small “lids”. Wash the bell peppers thoroughly and then dry them. We remove the stalk from it, after which we clean out the seeds with a teaspoon. Then cut the pepper into wide (about 1 cm) rings. Peel the garlic and rinse with water. Wash the parsley too and we can start canning. By this time, the jar and its lid should already be thoroughly washed and sterilized. Place half the parsley at the bottom of the jar, add bay leaf and peppercorns there. Then we stuff the tomatoes with garlic, covering them with the lids we cut off first - one clove for each tomato. At the same time, we tightly place the already stuffed fruits into the container and mix them with sweet pepper rings. When the container is full, add the remaining parsley on top. After this, you need to boil water and pour it into a jar. Cover the container with a lid and leave to stand for 15 minutes. Then carefully pour the broth from the jar back into the pan, boil it again and pour it into the tomatoes again. This procedure must be repeated 3 times.
After draining the water from the container into the pan for the 4th time, add sugar, clove buds and salt. Then the resulting brine is heated to a boil, boiled for about 5 minutes, and then turned off. After this, vinegar essence is poured into it. The prepared marinade is thoroughly mixed and poured into a jar of tomatoes. We roll up the container with a lid, turn it over, put it on the lid, and wrap it in something warm. When the tomatoes have cooled completely, store them in a cool place.

You can prepare them for the winter in almost any way for red tomatoes, but there are also special recipes for canning unripe tomatoes. Among the best, we should mention stuffed green tomatoes. Below are 2 such recipes with garlic.
Green tomatoes marinated with garlic. To can a three-liter jar of this yummy you will need:
- tomatoes (medium) – 1.7 kg;
- garlic (heads) – 2–3 pcs;
- sweet pepper – 1 piece;
- hot pepper - a small piece;
- black and allspice pepper (peas) - to taste;
- dill (umbrellas) – 3 pcs;

- onion - half a small onion;
- fresh parsley and dill (bunches) – 1 pc.
For the marinade: salt – 2 tablespoons, sugar – 1.5; vinegar 9% - 80 ml.
We sterilize the jar and lid, clean and wash the vegetables. Then we cut the tomatoes from the tail to the stalk 3-4 times to get 6-8 approximately equal slices.
We do not make the cuts all the way, otherwise the entire “structure” will fall apart and there will be nothing to stuff.
Then cut the garlic into thin slices and tear off small branches from the greens. Chop the sweet pepper into strips. We put a garlic plate and a sprig of each type of greenery into each cut of tomatoes.
Place spices and onions at the bottom of the jar, then hot peppers, 1 clove of garlic, an umbrella of dill and half of the total amount of horseradish (roots and leaves). After this, place the stuffed tomatoes tightly in a container. At the same time, distribute the sweet pepper evenly between them and on the sides. Place the remaining dill and horseradish umbrellas in the filled jar on top of the tomatoes. Then pour boiling water into the tomatoes and cover the neck of the container with a lid. We leave the future workpiece to stand for 10 minutes.
Then pour the broth back into the pan, heat it to a boil and pour it back into the tomatoes. Again, take a 10-minute break in cooking. After this, return the water from the tomatoes to the pan again, add granulated sugar and salt, heat until boiling and boil for 5 minutes. Then pour vinegar into the jar, followed by brine from the pan to the top. Then we roll up the container, turn it over, wrap it up, leave it to cool for a day, and then hide it for storage.
Spicy salted green tomatoes with garlic. To preserve 4 one-liter jars you will need:

We clean and wash the vegetables, sterilize the jar and lid. Then chop the hot pepper into strips. We leave the seeds behind. Cut the garlic into thin slices. Then mix both of these cuts. We cut the tomatoes into 2 equal parts from the tail to the stalk. You don't have to cut all the way through. Then we open the tomatoes like a book, using a teaspoon in one of the halves, taking out some of the pulp, making indentations into which we immediately put a mixture of pepper and garlic. Close the already stuffed tomatoes and set them aside.
Place 3–4 peppercorns, sprigs of herbs, and 1–2 bay leaves on the bottom of the jars. Then place the tomatoes tightly on top. After this, pour boiling water into the jars and cover their necks with lids. Let the tomatoes stand for 20 minutes and drain the water back into the pan. Pour salt and sugar into the broth, pour in vinegar. Then we heat the water again to a boil, and then pour the resulting brine to the top into the jars. We roll up the containers, turn them over, wrap them, let them cool, and then hide them for storage.
