GARLIC DILL PICKLES AND PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES



Garlic Dill Pickles and Pickled Green Tomatoes image

It's pickling season in my house this time of the year. My husband, granddaughter and I hit the local Farmer's Market as soon as the cucumbers and green tomatoes arrive. We spend an entire morning making our pickles and work as a team. They are ready to eat after about three days in the fridge. Sometimes, we don't wait that long!...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 lb kirby pickling cucumbers
5 lb fresh picked green tomatoes
24 sprig(s) fresh dill
8 clove peeled sliced garlic
1 large white halved and sliced onion
6 qt fresh cold water
2 qt white vinegar
4 Tbsp granulated sugar
black peppercorns, whole
coriander seeds whole
12 quart sized mason jars sterilized with lids and screw top rings.
1/2 c pickling salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a clean sink or basin, wash the vegetables and drain on paper towels.
  • 2. In a large 14 quart pot on stove, combine the water, vinegar, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil stirring to dissolve sugar and salt.
  • 3. Slice your cleaned cucumbers in half and the green tomatoes in quarters,
  • 4. In each clean jar, place 2 sprigs of fresh dill, 3-4 slices of sliced garlic, 6 slices of onion and 1/4 tsp. of coriander and peppercorns. Fill each jar with enough cucumbers (standing upright) or enough green tomatoes to fill the jar up to the neck leaving 1/2 inch space at the top.
  • 5. When the brine in the pot is boiling, carefully ladle hot brine over the vegetables in jars to cover them. Leave 1/4 inch space at the top of jars. Place jar lid and screw ring over jar and turn to seal tightly.
  • 6. If canning, follow the manufacturers directions for safe canning and sealing of jars in a large canning pot with enough water over jar to process and seal.
  • 7. I do not process mine to seal but store them immediately in the refrigerator for cold process. They are not shelf stable using this method but do not last long enough, anyway! After three days, your pickles and tomatoes are ready to eat. I can keep them safely for two months in the fridge.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar
2 cups cider vinegar
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon juniper berries
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cardamom pods
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon whole coriander
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
12 green garlic pieces, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

Steps:

  • Place sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, juniper berries, mustard seeds, cardamom, ginger, fennel seed, coriander, and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook until sugar has dissolved.
  • Place green garlic in a bowl; pour liquid over garlic and cover. Let stand until cooled.

Tips for Perfect Pickled Green Garlic:

  • Choose the freshest green garlic: Look for bulbs with firm, unblemished cloves and bright green stalks. Avoid any bulbs that show signs of bruising or sprouting.
  • Trim and clean the green garlic: Cut off the root ends and any tough outer layers of the cloves. Rinse the cloves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry.
  • Use a variety of pickling liquids: Experiment with different vinegar-based liquids, such as white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar. You can also add herbs, spices, and other flavorings to the pickling liquid, such as dill, garlic, peppercorns, or red pepper flakes.
  • Pack the green garlic cloves tightly in a jar: Use a sterilized glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pack the garlic cloves in the jar as tightly as possible, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top.
  • Pour the pickling liquid over the garlic cloves: Make sure the pickling liquid covers the garlic cloves completely. If necessary, add more pickling liquid until the cloves are fully submerged.
  • Seal the jar and let the garlic pickle: Close the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before using. The longer you let the garlic pickle, the more flavorful it will become.

Conclusion:

Pickled green garlic is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to preserve the fresh flavor of green garlic and enjoy it all year long. With just a few simple ingredients and a little patience, you can easily make your own pickled green garlic at home.
