Posted on: August 29, 2020Next time I would remove the cover after it starts to simmer as it was very watery. I think I would put less water and vinegar – only till the tomatoes are covered.
Also wasn’t sure on the salt and pickling spices as recipe says to sprinkle as you layer – 1 tsp and 1/2 tsp doesn’t go for. I simply just sprinkled a little each layer. I’ll see how it turns out.
