I found an interesting Book for this topic :

Preserving Food without Freezing or canning Complete ( Jan 2007 )


original publication in Paris 1992 by Terre Vevante


English translation 1999 and 2007 ?

Chesea green publishing company ..Vermont .




The book explains traditional techniques of preservation


using Salt , Oil , Sugar , Alcohol , Vinegar , Drying , Cold storage ,

lactic fermentation etc.


the book has a grid at the back with a list of produce and

the acceptable preservation techniques (with out canning or freezing)


Tomatoes have a diverse potential for preserving .......


Whole /inground silo, cellar, lactic fermentation ,
Drying, Oil , Vinegar , salt , sweet and sour , .........

notably NOT sugar or alcohol methods ......(will have to read more in depth).


I will keep looking in the general preserve/canning books for

the "Russian "/ Slavic ethnic recipes for this sort of non canning /

non freezing .....techniques .
