Preparation
Kitchen utensils
1 Cutting board, 1 Small knife, 1 Mandoline, 1 Oven rack, 1 Parchment paper, 1 Paper towel, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Large knife
Preparation steps
1.
For the tomato vinegar: put the tomatoes, rosemary and garlic into warm sterilised jars.
2.
Combine the vinegar, water, salt and sugar in a pan and heat slowly until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil.
3.
Slowly pour over the tomatoes, leaving 1cm| 1/2" headspace. Gently tap the jars on a work surface to release any air bubbles.
4.
Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator when cool.
5.
For the pear and cinnamon vinegar: put the pears into a bowl of slightly salted water with a dash of lemon juice, to prevent them becoming brown.
6.
Mix a little of the vinegar with the ground cinnamon and put the remaining vinegar and the sugar into a large pan with the cinnamon sticks and lemon rind.
7.
Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved completely, then add the vinegar/cinnamon mixture and bring to a boil.
8.
Rinse the pears and add to the pan.
9.
Simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, until the pears are transparent and tender, but not broken.
10.
Remove the pears using a slotted spoon and put into warm sterilised jars with 1-2 cinnamon stick pieces.
11.
Discard the lemon rind and boil the liquid in the pan rapidly for about 10-15 minutes until it has thickened to a syrup.
12.
Pour over the pears to cover completely and seal the jars immediately.
