Pickled Tomatoes

Ingredients

• ripe tomatoes
• 1 part salt
• 1 part vinegar
• 4 parts water
• 2 centimeters olive oil

Instructions

1. Rub the ripe tomatoes thoroughly with a clean cloth to remove any dirt. Place them in a wide-mouthed glass jar.
2. Prepare a brine by combining one part salt, one part vinegar, and four parts water. Pour this brine over the tomatoes.
3. Pour a layer of olive oil (approximately 2 centimeters) over the top of the brine, just below the rim of the jar, to seal the tomatoes from air.
