Here is a great idea on how to use your green tomatoes before the stink (chinch) bug attacks them or if it rains too much and your tomatoes don’t ripen!
Ingredients
- 12 pounds to 13 green tomatoes or 1 peck
- 8 large onions
- 10 green bell peppers
- 3 tbsp salt
- 6 hot peppers chopped
- 1 quarts vinegar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 3 tbsp dry mustard
- 10 bay leaves
- 1 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup horseradish optional
Directions
Step 1
In a glass bowl or stainless steel container, chop and combine the tomatoes, onions and sweet pepper together and cover with salt; let the mixture stand overnight.
Step 2
Drain and place in a stainless steel or enamel pot; add the hot peppers, vinegar, spices (tie in a cheese cloth bag to keep your pickles clean). Allow to boil slowly until tender about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Add the horseradish if you are using it. Pack into sterilized jars to within 1/2 inch of the top.
Step 4
Put on the cap and screw the band on tightly. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
