    Default Crispy Hot Pickled Green Tomatoes

    I have an abundance of green tomatoes right now and decided to try and pickle some and can them. Last night we sliced the tomatoes into 1/4" slices, diced some onions, sliced jalapenoes, and banana peppers.

    Mixed up some pickling lime and water.

    They will have been soaked for 24 hrs. tonight when I get home from work and we'll be adding the rest of the ingredients.

    Yeah, we are supposed to have scattered frost Saturday night. My green maters are gonna have to be fried up or canned. I'm interested in your recipe as well. Not sure I'd like 'em hot but pickled sounds pretty good.

    Here you are...

    1 gallon sliced or quartered green tomatoes

    I added jalapenoes and banana peppers ( my own recipe )

    1qt. white onions sliced or quartered
    !/2 cup of pickling lime mixed well with 1 gallon of water.

    Let soak for 24hrs. (helps make 'em crispy I think)

    Drain and rinse well with cold water.

    Add 1 1/2qt. of white distilled vinegar (I am using Apple Vinegar, again my own recipe)
    3 cups of sugar (I am using brown sugar - my recipe)
    1/2 cup of pickling salt
    1tbsp. black pepper (I am using black peppercorns)

    (I'll be adding lots of other stuffs like mustard seed...etc)

    Heat all ingredients. Just before boiling. fill hot jars and seal. Set aside about 2 weeks. HOT!

    Lots of recipes online..... I just took from about 50 I read and came up with this one.

    I have now added all of the ingredients and my mater's is heating up! I promise they smell spectacular. I had to increase the recipe a bit, I must of had a little over a gallon of maters. Interesting the lime turned the onions bright green. Everything was very firm, colorful, and crisp after the soak. Pics to come.

    Well, they are acidic and lime is alkaline. You should see what happens when you mix it with coconut. You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up.......

    That's the problem with having them taste stuff. On the up side if it's bad it's not you going belly up. On the down side if it's good you may not get any.

    No worries she confirmed they bite ya a little late...She made Cucumber pickles that are real good earlier this year, more of a bread and butter taste. I wouldn't call my maters hot! I guess but sharp would be a good description with lots of flavor. pics to come!

    Boiled a few too many jars, I got 3 quarts canned.

    I'll be making up some more of these in the next few weeks. I'll vary the recipe for variety.
