(MY FAVOURITE) GREEN TOMATO PICKLES
It's quite difficult to find green tomatoes at the local outdoor markets, so when I DO find them in quantity I make these pickles. They will keep, it seems, forever. They are really tasty, but a bit time-consuming to make, however, they are really worth it. I hope whoever tries them, enjoys them as much as I do. They are great with veal or pork cutlets.(Please note that I do not use a hot water bath. I sterilize my jars by washing them well, and letting them sit in boiling water for a few minutes. I then put them in a 200 degree oven for perhaps an hour. The lids and seals I gently boil for about five minutes. The hot jars are packed and the lids are twisted "finger tight" and left to cool on a folded bath towel. Lids go "pop" when seal is completed. An extremely simple way to sterilize jars and ensure the safety of your finished product.)

Steps:
- Slice tomatoes and onions very thin. Layer them in a large bowl (I use a really clean small plastic pail), sprinkling salt between the layers. Let stand overnight.
- In the morning, drain in a colander, letting cold water run through the vegetables for a few minutes, then drain well again.
- Into a large saucepan (I use a roaster) measure sugar and vinegar.
- Tie all spices loosely in a cheesecloth and add to vinegar mixture. Bring to a boil and add tomatoes, onions and lemon (lemon should be very, very thinly sliced).
- Remove stem and seed cores from peppers, slice thinly and add to mixture.
- Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes (or to desired consistency), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking; remove spice bag.
- Pack pickles in sterilized jars and seal.
- Enjoy.
