My mother got this recipe from Rose, her neighbor, who is now deceased. This was a wonderful way to use up all those green tomatoes instead of letting the frost get them. The amount of jars you get from this is only an educated guess. Ingredients:
7 lbs green tomatoes, sliced |
8 onions, sliced |
2 cups household limes |
2 quarts vinegar |
8 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
3 tablespoons pickling spices |
1 teaspoon celery seed |
Directions:
1. Mix together in crock 2 cups household lime and 2 gallons water.
2. Add sliced tomatoes and onions.
3. Soak 24 hours.
4. Stir often.
5. Drain lime solution and wash pickles until clean.
6. Add 2 quarts vinegar, 8 cups sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt.
7. In a cloth put pickling spice and 1 teaspoon celery seed and tie this up.
8. Put in with your pickles.
9. Let stand overnight.
10. Boil hard 35 minutes.
11. Can in hot sterilized jars.
