Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, cut them into wedges and sprinkle them with salt, leaving them to drain off the water for half a day. Separate the pulp from the water, and put it in a saucepan with the sugar, vinegar, 400g water, bay leaf and clove. Boil for 3-4 minutes, turn off the heat and leave to stand for 12 hours. Strain the syrup into a bowl and put the tomatoes in a jar. Add 10-12 drops of mustard essential oil to the syrup to taste, stir and finally pour it over the tomatoes.
