Ingredients
- 500 gram Tomato green
- 300 gram Sugar

- 150 gram Water
- 1 pcs. Vanilla Pod
- 1 pcs. Cinnamon Stick
Instructions
- Make sure to scald the pickling jar with boiling water before you begin. Optionally, also rinse it with Atamon.

- Once the pot has come to a boil and the sugar has melted, add the tomatoes to the pot. Let them cook for 5-10 minutes, depending on how soft you want them.
- Carefully remove the tomatoes from the boiling pot using a slotted spoon and transfer them to the scalded pickling jar.
