Yes, you can use dried dill if fresh isn't available. Use 1 teaspoon of dried dill for every tablespoon of fresh dill called for in the recipe.
When stored in a dark, cool place like a pantry or cellar, cold-pickled tomatoes can last up to 6 months. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2 weeks.
You can reduce the salt by half or use a salt substitute, but keep in mind this may slightly alter the flavor and preservation quality. For safety, ensure the jar is properly sterilized.
Absolutely! Cucumbers, bell peppers, or onions make great additions. Just ensure they are fresh and cut uniformly for even pickling.
Yes, you can omit vinegar, but replace it with lemon juice for acidity, which is essential for preservation. Use the same quantity as the vinegar specified.
Discard if you notice mold, an off smell, or if the jar lid is bulging. These are signs of spoilage or bacterial growth.
Freezing is not recommended as it can make the tomatoes mushy. Stick to cool, dark storage for best texture and flavor.
They're great alongside grilled meats, in salads, or as a tangy topping for sandwiches and burgers. They also complement cheese platters beautifully.
It’s best to make fresh marinade for each batch to ensure food safety and optimal flavor. Reusing marinade can lead to spoilage.
