Grandma Elson's Green Tomato Pickle
Well it's been ages since I've posted here. Lots of changes since my last update. Still working at BreakAway but after 24 years I moved out of my apartment and bought a house. It's the one across from Mom's which I had been waiting for. Mainly moved over to Facebook but glad this is still around.
Anyway I'm planning on making a batch of Grandma Elson's Green Tomato Pickle. I thought I had posted the recipe here earlier but it looks like I didn't. This was particularly disappointing since I forgot to check the amount of tomatoes I needed before I turned off my computer this morning but wasn't too worried about it planning to get it from here. Fortunately I found an email on my work computer with it so I'm good to go. Still, since I have it I thought I might as well post it so I don't have this problem again:
Grandma Elson's Green Tomato Pickle recipe:
8 qts green tomatoes
8 cups sliced onions
1 cup salt
1 qt vinegar
4 cups granulated sugar
6 Tbl mixed pickling spices (put in a cloth bag)
Cut the tomatoes and onions into 1/8 inch slices.
Sprinkle them with salt, cover with a plate and let stand over night.
Next morning wash and drain the tomatoes and onions 3 times in cold water.
Add the vinegar and sugar.
Put in a pot.
Insert the spices that have been put in the cloth bag.
Cook for 5 minutes.
Take out the bag of spices and put the green tomato and onion pickles into sterile canning jars.
They should seal as they cool.
