Pickled Green Tomatoes
Description
This recipe involves placing whole green tomatoes pierced with a toothpick into a jar along with thinly sliced garlic and fresh dill sprigs. A hot pickling liquid is prepared by dissolving kosher salt and sugar in a mixture of white vinegar and water boiled with peppercorns and optional crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
The hot liquid is poured over the tomatoes and seasonings in the jar, fully submerging them. After sealing, the jar rests at room temperature until cooled, then is refrigerated. The pickles are ready to eat after about one day and develop tangy, salty, and mildly spicy flavors over the following weeks while remaining crisp.
These pickled green tomatoes can be used as a tangy condiment or snack, providing a fresh, vinegary crunch uncommon in ripe tomato preparations.
Ingredients
- 1 pint tomato green
- 1/3 clove garlic
- 2 dill sprigs
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 Tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppercorns
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper optional
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes and use a toothpick to poke a small whole in the top of each tomato. Then put them in a pint jar.
- Slice the garlic thinly and add the garlic and a few sprigs of dill to the jar.
- Combine the vinegar, water, salt, sugar, peppercorns and crushed red pepper in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Then pour into the pint jar, covering the green tomatoes.
- Cover tightly with a lid and let sit on the counter until cooled to room temperature. Then refrigerate.
- Pickles can be eaten as soon as the next day and will be good for about 3 weeks.
Notes
- This recipe is intended for refrigerator pickling and is not suitable for canning or shelf-stable preservation.
