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.

Steps:
- Sterilize the jars. Wash the jars and lids in hot soapy water; rinse well. Place a wire rack or empty tuna cans in the pot to keep the jars from touching the bottom. Fill the pot halfway with water and bring to a simmer (do not boil). Submerge the jars in the water and let simmer until you're ready to fill. Sterilize the lids in a separate small pot of simmering water.
- Make the brine. Combine the chiles, bay leaves, coriander and cumin seeds, cinnamon sticks, cloves, mace, peppercorns, garlic, vinegar, honey, salt and 1 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook for 3 minutes. Cool slightly. Remove the chiles and bay leaves with a slotted spoon
- Pack the tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes into wedges using a sterilized knife and cutting board. Remove the jars and lids from the simmering water with a jar lifter or tongs; fill with the tomatoes and some chiles and bay leaves
- Fill and close. Pour the warm pickling liquid over the tomatoes in each jar, stopping 1/2 inch from the top. Slide a clean rubber spatula around the inside of each jar to remove air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a clean towel, then position the sterilized lids on top. Screw the lids shut, being careful not to overtighten.
- Boil the jars. Return the pot of water to a simmer; add the jars, making sure water covers them by a few inches. Cover and boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, uncover and leave them in the water for 10 minutes
- Remove and let cool. Transfer the jars to a kitchen towel. Let sit, undisturbed, for at least 12 hours. A vacuum seal will form as the jars cool
- Label your pickles. Write the date on each jar and store for up to 1 year at room temperature; refrigerate after opening. The tomatoes will be at their prime about 3 months after canning.

HOMEMADE SPICY PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:
- Fill two clean, quart canning jars with bite sized green tomatoes. Any variety you prefer is fine, as long as they're green. I used Juliette tomatoes here, but have also used Cherry and Sweet 100, all successfully. Distribute sliced onion, jalapeno slices, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic evenly between the two jars. Wipe the rims clean with a damp paper towel.
- On the stovetop, boil the rings and lids for the jars in water for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, heat distilled white vinegar until boiling. (Be sure you have enough to fill the jars. - Any remaining vinegar can be poured back into the container after it cools.) Pour hot vinegar into pre-packed jars leaving 1/4 inch space at the top of each jar. Secure one lid and ring per jar, and leave on your counter to cool. The lid will make a single 'pop' sound as it cools, letting you know that it sealed properly. For Best results and flavor, let it sit at least a week before eating -- If you can wait that long.
GARLIC DILL PICKLES AND PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES
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!...

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.

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!
BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:
- Wash tomatoes thoroughly; cut away any bad spots. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Combine 2 gallons of water and the pickling lime in a large nonreactive bowl, and add tomatoes. Let soak for 24 hours.
- Drain tomatoes, and cover with fresh water. Soak for 4 hours, changing water every half hour. Rinse, and drain well.
- Make syrup: In a large nonreactive pot, combine sugar and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Fold an 8-by-16-inch piece of cheesecloth in half to make a square; rinse with water, and squeeze dry. Place cloves, cinnamon, allspice, celery seeds, mace, and ginger in the cheesecloth; tie closed with one end of a 12-inch piece of cotton string. Tie a loop in the other end, and slip it over the handle of a wooden spoon. Suspend spice bag in the syrup by placing the spoon across the top of the pot. Remove syrup from heat, add tomatoes, and let sit overnight at room temperature, covered with a clean dish towel.
- Remove kitchen towel, and transfer pot back to the stove. Bring tomatoes to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook, pushing them into the syrup occasionally, until translucent, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sterilize the jars and lids: Place a round wire rack in the bottom of a large stockpot. The rack should fit as snugly as possible and should stand 1/2 to 1 inch above the bottom of the pot. Wash the jars, lids, and screw bands with hot, soapy water. Stand six pint jars on the rack, and add the lids; it's not necessary to add the screw bands. Fill the pot with enough water to cover jars by 1 to 2 inches; an additional 1 to 2 inches of space should remain below the rim of the pot so the water doesn't overflow. Cover, and bring the water to a simmer (180 degrees.; let the lids and jars simmer 10 minutes. (The lids and jars can continue to simmer until you're ready to fill them.)
- Using a jar lifter, remove a jar from the simmering water, and empty the water back into the stockpot. Place the jar on a clean surface. Using stainless-steel tongs, layer hot tomatoes in hot sterilized pint jars, leaving 3/4 inch of space beneath the rim. Pour hot syrup over tomatoes, covering them by 1/4 inch, leaving 1/2 inch of space beneath the rim. Slide a clean plastic chopstick or wooden skewer along the inside of each jar to release any air bubbles. Wipe the mouth of the jar with a clean, damp cloth. Place hot lid on jar; turn screw band firmly without forcing. Repeat with remaining jars and tomatoes.
- With the jar lifter, return the filled jars to the stockpot of simmering water, making sure the jars aren't touching the sides of the pot and are spaced about 1 inch apart.
- Raise the heat to high, cover the stockpot, and bring the water to a boil. Process the jars in the boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the water bath with the jar lifter, and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 24 hours. As the tomatoes cool, a vacuum will form inside the jar, sealing it; you might hear a popping sound. A slight indentation in the lid indicates the vacuum seal; the lid should not flex up and down when pressed firmly with a finger. Store in a cool, dry, dark place for up to 1 year. The tomatoes can be served when cool but are more flavorful when allowed to mellow in a cool, dry place for 2 to 3 weeks. Store opened jars in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- You will need a 1 quart (or a 1 liter) glass mason jar. For jars that are slightly bigger or smaller, adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly. Place all the ingredients except the sea salt into the jar. The jar should be full, so add or remove part or all of a tomato if necessary.Next, fill the jar with filtered water to the top. Then, while holding the lid over the mouth of the jar to prevent the vegetables from falling out, pour the water into a bowl.
- Add the sea salt to the water and stir until all the salt is dissolved. Pour the salted water back into the jar and cover it very loosely.
- Let stand for 2-3 days. Once a day, tighten the lid and turn the jar upside down for a few seconds, then set it back down, loosen the lid and let stand until the next day. After two days, taste to see if you like it. If you find it's a bit bland for your taste, let it stand for another day. Then refrigerate and enjoy.
- This will keep for approximately 2 months refrigerated.

Steps:
- 1. Layer all ingredients except the salt and honey in a 1-gallon jar, starting and finishing with the aromatics and making sure that the jar is filled to the rim. You may need to cut the last tomato into quarters so it fits perfectly. Then add salt and honey and fill completely the jar with cold water.
- 2. Place and tighten the lid, turning the jar a few times upside down until the salt and honey is dissolved; then take off the lid and cover the jar with a piece of cheesecloth and keep the jar in a warm, sunny place (I keep mine on the balcony). Let stand for 3 days or until you can see tiny bubbles coming up.
- 3. Once a day, place and tighten the lid and turn the jar upside down for a few seconds, then set it back down, take off the lid, cover again with the cheesecloth and let stand until the next day. After two days, taste to see if you like it. If you find it's not ready for your taste, let it stand for another day and then refrigerate and enjoy. You can keep them safely for about one month refrigerated.
Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use firm, ripe tomatoes that are free of blemishes. Roma, cherry, and heirloom tomatoes are all good choices.
- Prepare your jars: Wash your jars and lids thoroughly with hot soapy water and rinse well. Sterilize the jars by boiling them in a large pot of water for 10 minutes.
- Make the brine: The brine is what gives pickled tomatoes their flavor. Use a combination of water, vinegar, sugar, and spices to create a brine that is both tangy and sweet.
- Pack the tomatoes: Pack the tomatoes tightly into the jars, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
- Seal the jars: Seal the jars with the lids and rings. Make sure the lids are tight so that no air can get in.
- Process the jars: Process the jars in a boiling water bath for the recommended amount of time. This will help to preserve the tomatoes and keep them safe to eat.
- Cool the jars: Once the processing time is complete, remove the jars from the boiling water bath and let them cool completely.
Conclusion:
Pickled tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They can be used as a topping for sandwiches and burgers, added to salads, or simply eaten as a snack. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make your own pickled tomatoes at home.
