Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups green tomatoes, cut into wedges
3 garlic cloves
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Wash a wide-mouth 1-quart mason jar and and its lid in hot soapy water, then rinse and let air dry.
  • Slice the tomatoes into wedges and pack them tightly into the jar. (If you have very large tomatoes, you may want to slice them into smaller wedges.)
  • Peel the garlic. In a small saucepan, combine the garlic, vinegar, water, dill, peppercorns, turmeric, sugar, and kosher salt. Bring to a low boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  • Once dissolved, pour the brine mixture into the jar, allowing the garlic to settle on top of the vegetables. Tap the jar on the counter to release any air bubbles. Discard any remaining brine, or top off the jar with extra water if any tomatoes are exposed at the top. Screw on the lid tightly and allow to cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before eating. If desired, discard the garlic after 24 hours. Keeps up to 1 month refrigerated.

PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES (COLD PACK)

This was my grandmother's favorite recipe for pickled green tomatoes. They were always so good!

Provided by Linda Kauppinen

Categories     Other Snacks

Number Of Ingredients 10

PICKLING LIQUID
2 qt cider vinegar
2 qt water
1 c salt
1/2 box all spice, whole
OTHER INGREDIENTS
sprig(s) fresh dill per jar
1 clove garlic per jar
1/2 tsp celery seed per jar
green tomatoes

Steps:

  • 1. Put the vinegar, water and salt for your pickling liquid in a pot and bring to a boil. Once it boils turn off the heat, cover and allow it to cool overnight on the stove in the same pot.
  • 2. Wash off tomatoes with cold water. Sterilize Mason jars (You will need clean "hot" sterilized jars for packing)
  • 3. In each jar place sprig of dill, clove of garlic, celery seed, 1/2 tsp all spice and green tomatoes. Pour the boiled pickling liquid over the tomatoes to 1/2 inch from the top of the jar.
  • 4. Seal jars. HOW TO SEAL JARS: 1. Place cap in position. 2. Partially tighten the tops of the glass jars by screwing the top of the Mason jar on completely, then turning it back one-fourth of a turn to loosen it. 3. Place jars on the rack, lower them into the hot-water bath and boil 2 hours for greens; 1 1/2 hours for roots and tubers; 3 hours for beans; 5 hours for corn and peas; 16 minutes for berries and soft fruits; 20 minutes for hard fruits; and 30 minutes for fruits without sugar. Begin to count the time when the water begins to boil vigorously or jumps. 4. Be sure that the lid of canner is provided with a small hole to allow for escape of steam. 5. Remove the jars from the boiler at the end of the sterilization, or processing, period and seal immediately. 6. Invert the jars to test the seal. If not sealed properly, determine the cause, remedy it, and re-sterilize in the hot-water bath for 10 minutes. 7. Cool as quickly as possible, avoiding drafts. 8. Label, wrap, and store jars in a cool, dark place. A uniform system of labelling will add to the attrac-tiveness of canned goods. Use labels of one size for all jars. Print the name of food and year on each label. Place the labels 4 inches from bottom of quart jars, 2 inches from bottom of pint jars, and l 1/2 inches from bottom of jelly glasses. Put the labels on straight. Wait at least 1 week before eating the tomatoes!

PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES

This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe in Fred Dubose's wonderful cookbook from a bygone era, "Four Great Southern Cooks." It is sort of a cross between a pickle and a relish. Do not worry about the salt; most of it will go out when the tomatoes are drained.
