4 lb average tomatoes
1 liter water
1 tbsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
⅓ cup vinegar 9%
3 tbsp vegetable oil
horse-radish
dill
garlic

After boiling add vinegar and let liquid boil during 5 minutes. Pour hot liquid into the jar to the brim. Close the jars with covers.

Then place them in a cool place (fridge, cellar) and keep for months.

Notes

Tomatoes are usually pickled in large jars ( 3 l, and this recipe is for 3 l jars ). If you want you can use little ones, it's more comfortable to open them.
