Best 6 Simple Pickled Green Tomato Recipes

PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Pack mixture into 3 one-quart or 6 one-pint canning jars. Place a garlic clove and a red chile in each jar, and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine sugar, salt, vinegar, mustard seeds, cloves, celery seeds, and allspice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; stir until sugar dissolves. Pour mixture over produce, leaving a 1/2-inch space at the top of each jar. Wipe rims of excess; screw on lids.
• Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Using canning tongs, gently place jars in boiling water, making sure the water covers the jars (if not, add additional water to cover). Let jars sit in gently simmering water for 10 minutes. Remove; let cool slightly. Check seal by pressing in center of lid. If it doesn't pop back, it is properly sealed. If it does, return jars to water for 10 more minutes. Let sealed jars cool completely.
• Let pickled tomatoes stand until flavors have melded, at least 2 weeks.

QUICK PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES

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.
