I am beginning to get the "grumbles" from the husband for not making these yet this season. I just pulled the recipe out and will do my duty tomorrow. This really is a simple and tasty recipe!!
Green Tomato Pickles
1 1/2 quarts green tomatoes, thickly sliced
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
Kosher salt
2 cups white or cider vinegar
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
In a large plastic bowl or in a nonreactive colander set in the sink, layer tomatoes with onions and peppers, sprinkling salt over each layer
Repeat until all vegetables have been used
Let stand at room temperature for 6 hours
Drain and rinse briefly
In a large enameled or other non-reactive saucepan or soup pot, combine the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat Cook until syrup has reduced by about one-third
Add the drained vegetables, return to a boil, and cook until vegetables are tender and the liquid is reduced to a thick syrup, about 1 1/2 hours
Allow tomatoes to cool in the cooking liquid, then transfer to non-reactive containers, cover with the cooking liquid, and refrigerate for at least several days before using
Pickles may be made up to 2 months in advance and stored in the refrigerator
ENJOY!!!!
