Green Tomato Pickle Recipe


Ingredients:
* 5 pounds green tomatoes
* 2 medium onions
* 1/3 cup pickling salt or kosher salt
* 3 cups cider vinegar
* 1 and 3/4 cups sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
* 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
* 1 teaspoon celery seeds
* 1 bell pepper, cut in thin strips

Directions:
1. Slice off both ends of tomatoes and discard. Slice tomatoes into 1/4-inch slices and put into a large glass or plastic bowl.
2. Peel onions and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Add to the sliced tomatoes.
3. Sprinkle the salt over the tomatoes and onions, then toss to coat well. Cover with ice cubes; cover bowl and let stand for 4 hours.
4. Drain the vegetables in a large colander and lightly rinse. Set aside.
5. In a large non-reactive kettle, combine the vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery seeds, and mustard seeds; bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and add the drained tomatoes and onions to the pot. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is boiling.
6. Pack sterilized jars with the tomato/onion mix. Add a few thin strips of bell pepper to each jar. Fill with the remaining liquid, leaving a 1/2-inch head space. Wipe the rims of the jars. Seal with sterilized lids.
7. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, making sure the boiling water covers the jars entirely.
Store in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks before eating.
Makes 5 pints.
