Pickled Green Tomatoes Recipe
5 lb green tomatoes
2 medium onions
1/3 cup pickling salt
3 cups cider vinegar
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon mustard seed
optional - red bell peppers or hot peppers
Cut ends off of tomatoes and discard. Slice tomatoes into 1/4 inch rounds or bite-size chunks. Peel onions and slice into 1/4 inch pieces. Add tomatoes and onions to a stock pot or bowl and sprinkle with 1/3 cup pickling salt. Gently toss to coat well. Refrigerate overnight or if you’re in a hurry you can cover with ice and let stand for four hours.
In a large pot combine the vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery seed, and mustard seed. Bring it to a boil and then reduce it to a simmer. Drain the vegetables in a large colander and rinse lightly.
Pack pint size, sterile jars with the vegetables. If desired, add a few thin strips of sweet or hot red pepper. Fill each jar with spice liquid leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims and place lids on jars then secure with rings. They should be fingertip tight. Hot water bath for 15 minutes.

Hi there and hope all is well and cheers from Canada. Has been some time since I was lost by seeing the recommendation and came over for a watch. I am not a fan of green tomatoes but many people back in eastern Quebec where I grew up absolutely love them and this was a great watch nonetheless and gotta say once again you guys have one of the great channel names on CZcams hats off to Your for the foresight and the branding you do towards it. Many channels 10 times larger than you are not at that level yet of foresight so keep up the amazing work
Pusa Studios - wow, thank you so much for the kind and generous comments! I appreciate you taking the time to visit our channel and leave feedback ❤️ We are a very young channel (less than 5 months old) but are having a lot of fun recording and sharing what goes on around our place. If you like sweet pickles, you would probably like this recipe and if you ever get the chance, be sure and give it a try! Thank you again for watching! 😊 Josie P.S. we subbed ya!
Pro tip : watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Lewis Jake definitely, have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :)
Can you use this brine for bread and butter pickles? Or Do you have a recipe for bread and butter pickles.
Last year I tried something different with green tomatoes. Down South we love both fried green tomatoes and fried dill pickles. I made thin sliced dill green tomatoes. I dredged them in leftover fish fry (corn meal) and fried. Yummy!
If your ever in Mt. Home Arkansas stop in Fred's Fish House for some really good catfish meals. They were the inspiration for canning pickled green tomatoes.
Also, Fred's Fish House in Batesville, AR, is a must if you are ever in the area! Great recipe! I am from Batesville but live in Colorado and miss great Catfish and miss pickled green tomatoes. Thank you!
Nancy Benoit - wow, I didn’t know that! I wonder if it’s owned by the same family? 🤷♀️ We just love Fred’s Fish House in Mountain Home and really miss it - due to the pandemic we haven’t gone since last year. Thank you for commenting and have a great weekend ❣️ ~ Josie
My daughter and I visited Batesville Ar this summer and ate at Freds fish house and I've been trying to find this recipe ever sence. Thank you so much for this video, none of my canning books had a recipe for the sweet green tomatoes. Again thank you so much.
@@jeanicebaker2359 - you are so welcome! I hope you like them 😊
Try the one in Mammoth Springs. It’s the only one left now since the one in Mt Home burned. It was better anyway.
Looking forward to trying this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Believe I'll try some❤,great simple instructions
I must try your green tomato pickle recipe. I like the simplicity & clarity of your video presentation. The magnet thing is nifty. I should get one. Thanks .
Thank you 😊
I’ve only ever had fried green tomatoes! Seems about time to expand my horizons! These look great!
They are good Scottie. Next year when you have loads give it a try. / Jim
I used your recipe with some green tomatoes that I picked from Warren, Arkansas. The recipe is perfect and taste just like the ones that I’ve had in the local fish house too. Thank you
Sadie Mitchell - wow, that’s great!! I’m so glad you like them. Thank you for letting me know! Have a great week 😊 ~ Josie
Thanks for the newspaper trick!!
Oziebou - you’re welcome and thank you for tuning in and commenting ❣️ ~ Josie
Lovely recipe
Tracey Eva Edwards - thank you❣️
Since recording this video we have shortened the intro to like 5 seconds to cut down on time. Glad you watched and hope the tip helps.
I'm new to canning and this summer have used your recipe over and over. My family thinks these are the best thing they ever tasted. I use this for my bread and butter pickles adding garlic, red, yellow and orange bell peppers, peppercorns and onions. We eat a whole jar almost at a sitting. I love your calm voice. You are a pleasure to watch. Do you have other canning videos? Thank you.
Awe ~ thank you so much for the sweet feedback ❣️ I truly appreciate it and I’m so glad you and your family love the pickled green tomatoes. They can be quite addicting. 😆
I actually do have a few canning videos. Go to our playlist under Ozark Mountain Goats and you will find a playlist for water bath and pressure canning. Thank you again for your feedback! Have a great weekend ~ Josie
Loved the newspaper trick! Thank you so much for the pickling recipe. We are excited to make these this weekend.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy them! 😊
I have green tomatoes that I am going to can. I like yours because it is like bread and butter pickles. We have gone to Jo-Jo’s restaurant in Mt. View many times over the last 20 years. Their pickled green tomatoes are really good too. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much 🥰 Mt. View is a nice little town. We were there to pick up cedar furniture this past summer. Hope you enjoy the recipe 😊
So glad I finally found your recipe. I've been searching CZcams for 2 hours looking for the pickled green tomato recipe like the one served with fish like I had in Texas.. Thank you!!
And we are now 1 year Arkansas newbies!
Wow, thank you so much! I hope you like the recipe - we just love it. Arkansas is a beautiful state. Jim was born in Mountain Home and we visit often. Best of luck with your green tomatoes. ~ Josie 😊
@@OzarkMountainGoats I think we went through Mountain Ho.e yesterday on our way ho.e from the VA clinic in Fayetteville. And we always stop in at Bee Vee's Flea Market to look for goodies.
We love it here.
Someone in London has green tomatoes for a dollar a pound, so I'll be trying your recipe today. Again thank you for sharing your recipe!
Drew said we went Mountain Berg not Mountain Home. You must be fairly close to CZcamsr Lori Brown in Imboden. They are Whippoorwill Hollar You Tube channel
@@carmalitayanock9584 not sure exactly where they are except north Arkansas. But we do love their channel and watch them from time to time. Have a blessed day!
Great recipe share and love the newspaper tip! Thank you
Thank you so much for watching. As far as the news paper tip, It all has to do with trapping the gasses the tomatoes give off. Hope it works for you we've had luck with it./Jim
Thanks for the great video. Green tomatoes are great pickled. God bless.
Thank you so much Susan, we love em to. Glad you enjoyed. Have a wonderful day and God bless you also. / Jim
I used your recipe last year and canned 12 quart jars. Oh my gosh! I have one jar left. Because of death in the family, I didn’t get to make it to the tomato farm in Warren, Arkansas. So, I will cherish my one jar until next year.
Wow, I’m so glad you like the recipe! Hopefully next season you’ll be able to make a double batch ❤️
love the magnet idea. awesome
Thanks, it’s handy!
Thanks for this recipe I just started canning and came across this video and really liked it. I live in lepanto Arkansas. That been the mountain home several time. Thanks for the video.
That’s awesome - we’ve gone right past Lepanto many times on our way south. Good luck with your canning. I hope you enjoy the recipe.
A little long but very well done. Loved the newspaper tip and will be a first timer on pickled greenies. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
@@OzarkMountainGoats uh
I'm new to canning and will try this. It is still a couple months left in my growing season here in NE Arkansas, but it looks like i will be canning my green tomato's this weekend. I have a squirrel problem so I either can them now or I loose my small crop. I only harvested 10 ripe tomatoes from 16 plants this year. I'm looking forward to squirrel season this year.
Hahaha, sorry I shouldn’t laugh but Jim & I really got a kick out of your “squirrel season” comment! I saw a squirrel running from my tomato patch just yesterday and 2 big, beautiful tomatoes were half eaten!!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pickled green tomatoes 😋 ~ Josie
Hi first timer on your show I make green tomato pickles but I slice them on my mandolin and that works out great also I do my onions like that too I missed your recipe but will watch your show another time thankz
That’s great! A mandolin works really well. Thank you for visiting our channel 😊
thanks for the ripening tip. xx
You’re welcome and thank you for watching ❣️
Thank you and thank you for the recipe in the video.
Larisa Koch - you’re very welcome! Thank you for visiting our channel ❣️ ~ Josie
Must try this my aunt used to make chutney with all our green toms 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
They are delicious 😋
Made this today!! Thank you for sharing
Awesome! Hope you like them 😊
I just found this today! 😍
😁👏😁
Thank you so much. This is a great “how to” video. Clean, prepared kitchen, not too much chit chat, clear instructions and demonstration, very calm and pleasant delivery. I haven’t canned anything in a long time, you gave me confidence to begin again. Thanks, too, for the tip about storing the extra tomatoes. I have subscribed to your channel. God bless!
Thank you so much Charlotte for the kind feedback and for subscribing to our channel. I hope you enjoy getting back in to canning. It’s very rewarding - especially in today’s crazy world! 😊 Josie
Thanks for the reply this is a great help !!!!
benzcrazy- you’re welcome 😊
2 batches in the fridge. 🤞🙏
Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Jean Eaton - that’s awesome! I hope you like them. Thank you for watching and commenting ❣️ ~ Josie
Wow I’m glad I found your Chanel and this recipe. Going to definitely try it, but I think I’ll cut the Tomatoes little smaller. Thanks for sharing it and God Bless.
Best regards from Germany. 😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! Good luck with your pickled green tomatoes 😊
Hi from Canada...Just printed your recipe, will make them tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy
I used your recipe, and have to speak for me and hubby. We Loved them. 🥰
So glad, we do too!
@@OzarkMountainGoats ❤
What A Great Video.. This is The is the only way one should eat A tomato.. GREEN.. im gonna make some. Mama use to make these… THANKYOU.😀
You’re welcome!
Good recipe. I'd bet the fish house was Fred's. I'm from Mtn. Home but I've been in Fort Smith for near 4 years. Nice trip down memory lane. Will watch some more videos after I get my batch started. Thank you kindly ma'am.
Matthew Jin - yep, Fred’s Fish House in Mountain Home 😋. We love it ! Thanks for commenting and good luck with your pickled green tomatoes ❣️ ~ Josie
@@OzarkMountainGoats Doing the last batch today. I pickled habaneros with green marconi peppers too. Very pretty but my fiance can't stand hot peppers. :P It's wild this time of year how Walmart sells out of lids and jars. Had to buy a case of new jars just for the lids. It's crazy. If you bump into Beverly Guest, tell her Wolfie says "Hi."
I've got mine covered with newspaper. I'm going to do the pickled tomatoes though. Looks great
She's Gone Country Farms - thank you Victoria! We just picked the last of our tomatoes because we’re getting a hard freeze tonight. We’ve decided to make some green tomato salsa with it. It’s a new recipe for me so hopefully it will turn out well! Thank you for watching! 😊 Josie
Mmmmm.... these pickled tomatoes look amazing! Thank you for sharing, I am glad I came across you today, just subscribed, looking forward to more recipes!
Calm Chords - thank you so much and we subbed you back! If you’re in need of a good laugh, watch the bloopers at the end of our wild plum jam video 😆😂 Thank you for visiting our channel! Josie
I have never picked before. And I've never tried pickled tomatoes before either ... one day when I get a chance to actually try...hopefully soon!
That's a cool tool to get the lids out, is it a magnet?
I love your shirt !!!
If you like pickles you will probably like the green tomatoes pickled. Yes it is a magnet. Thank you so much for watching!
Great job 😊
Thank you 😊
What great ideas for preserving them for the winter. You have a new sub from us thanks for a great video!
Thank you so much. We have had pretty good luck wrapping them like that. Wrap individual green tomatoes in newspaper: Layering wrapped tomatoes in a box, no more than 2 layers deep. Place the box in a dark, dry spot and check weekly for progress. It usually takes 3-4 weeks for the tomatoes to ripen, but check frequently and remove any fruits that show signs of rotting. I am making a visit to your channel. Thanks again/Jim
Thank you. Awesome job.
Melita Obergh - thank you so much and thanks for watching ❣️
thank you for sharing this, the only thing I ever ate was green tomato pie that my aunt made. I am going to remember this for next year . I love your channel so fun to watch and learn. Hello from Minnesota
GrandmaSewHappy Homestead - thank you so much! I hate to see food go to waste so pickled green tomatoes and green tomato salsa really helps use up the last of our summer garden harvest. Thank you for the nice feedback and thank you for watching! 😊 Josie
I would like your recipe for the green tomato salsa please
I’m so glad I found you folks and this recipe! I’m from Waldron Arkansas and years ago we would go down to Mena Arkansas, to the Fish Net Restaurant and they served pickled green tomatoes and this recipe is close to what they had. They would also sell jars of this to take home, but they have since closed and I couldn’t get it anymore. So sad! I’m am so excited as I just picked the last of my tomatoes this weekend and I am going to try it. Thanks so much! Are you still putting up new content?
Thanks so much for comment. They are very good and we have a restaurant in Mt Home called Fred's that sell a good pickled green tomato. We will be putting up more content later. We have had a few family members that have been sick that we are helping. Plus we both had covid that threw us both for a loop. We are better now and as soon as we get caught up with family and goat breading we will do some more videos. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
I really want to try green pickles tomatoes
They are very good! 😋
Good morning I just found your channel. I have heard of, but never had pickled tomatoes. I think for the first time I might try a few jelly jar size.
My wife and I have a small homestead in Indiana. Thanks for the great video.
That’s awesome and thank you for checking us out. We appreciate it. I’m a Hoosier - I was born and raised in Indiana. ❤️
We are 20 miles south of Terre Haute, if you happen to know where that is.
@@Jimmy-wd5nk - yes, I do. I’m from Kokomo. 50 miles north of Indy ~ Josie 😊
Great video.I can do with out the sugar tho.
I find it interesting that the first place I ever ran into pickled green tomatoes was in Harrison Ark.
Kevin Brown - i hope you liked them, we sure do! 😋
I loved them. Not many fish shacks in these parts though.
🍅🍅🍅ENJOYED🍅🍅🍅
Thank you so much for visiting!
Certainly sounds good although I've never heard of it before. We might have to try them if we have green tomatoes left.
We have it as a small side in a little 1/2 cup or so bowl. Just to stimulate the taste buds with a meal. We really like it with pork chops or catfish. If you try I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching. / Jim
Great video! 🧡🍂
Thank you so much for watching!/Jim
Nice come to your kitchen and eat
Thank you and thanks for visiting our channel!
Hi, I'm from Greenbrier Arkansas and this is the recipe video I was hoping to find, thank you. Only question is, how hot is the hot water bath, boiling, simmering? My grandmother used to always make pickles every year and they were so good...
rawzone1 - Hi, and thank you for your question! The water in your canner should be boiling for a hot water bath. Once mine starts to boil I back off on the heat a little bit but keep the water at a constant, steady boil.
I hope you give these a try and that they are as good as your grandma’s! Thanks for watching and commenting and have a great weekend❣️ 😊 ~ Josie
That just like my mom’s recipe, but hers calls for white vinegar and no turmeric. I want to try yours, too, and maybe add some red sweet peppers.🙂
It’s fun to play around with different recipes 😊 Hope it turns out well for you ❣️
I've never heard of this but think I will try it as I have more green tomatoes after making Salsa Verde out of them. What a great idea using a pitcher to pour the brine instead of ladling it! Thank you!
Jomama 02 - pickled green tomatoes are really good and I think you’ll like them! Yes using a pitcher to pour hot liquid is much easier and much less messy than using a ladle. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a great day! ~ Josie
Have you made green tomato mincemeat?
I am going to try this recipe tomorrow as we have 20 gallons of green tomatoes to deal with. I also make green tomato pie and green tomato salsa.
By the way.....the darned Blackberry cream pie is in big demand. Ralph wants it every day.😋😨
Hi Fiona C, this is Jim. You have a couple that I haven't and I'm sure Josie hasn't heard of but they sound fun. Let us know how they turn out. We love trying new thing like that. Is the mincemeat something you would add to like a mincemeat pie? My mother use to make those. I can see where the green tomato salsa would be yummy. Are you going to video it? Thank you so much, Josie will be home tonight she has been away for 10 days taking care of our daughter that had some health issues and that are much better now. Anyway, thanks again and I'm sure Josie will add to this conversation./ Jim
Fiona C - you crack me up! I’m thrilled that your family loves the cream pie 😋 That makes me happy! I have never heard of green tomato mincemeat but it sounds really interesting and I would definitely try it. Thank you for watching our channel and leaving such nice feedback. Jim and I really appreciate it! 😊 Josie
Hello from NJ! Love this great tutorial. I've never worked with green tomatoes and I do have quite a few that I wonder If I can do anything with. First question is can I use Roma tomatoes as well with this recipe, and secondly, can I use underdeveloped tomatoes? Underdeveloped meaning about a third or half the size of a full grown. Thank you :)
Hi and thank you! Yes, you can use Roma tomatoes. If your underdeveloped tomatoes are about to be lost due to a frost or freeze, I would definitely give it a try. You can pickle just about anything so I’m sure it would work. You would probably just have pieces that are firmer and more dense. Good luck! 😊 ~ Josie
I am viewing from the Netherlands. This is all new to me. Nice. I have a question though. After canning, are the tomatoes cooked enough to eliminate the poison in them? Thank you.
Hello, here in the states people eat green tomatoes all the time. We eat them fried, in salads and pickled. My wife (Josie) when we first was married over 40 years ago didn't care for tomatoes but now loves them. We eat green tomatoes every year as hundreds of thousands of other people here do that never have had an issue. I would suggest trying them in small quantity if your not custom to eating them. But I think you'll find they are tasty. Thank you for commenting and be safe!
Why ice? I grew up eating pickle green tomatoes, we treated them as and used the same brine as cucumber pickles.
The recipe I learned from and follow recommends an overnight salt brine in the fridge but says tomatoes can be iced for 4 hours if short on time. The ice brine helps keep the green tomatoes from being so mushy.
I love this video! You make it so easy to understand. I am new at all this and I have a question for anyone's input. After finishing my water bath, the liquid in my jars is cloudy. What am I doing wrong, and are they safe to eat?
Hi and thank you for your question. Did you by chance use table salt in your recipe? The additives in regular table salt can cause a cloudy brine. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend 😊
@@OzarkMountainGoats Thank you for replying so fast! No, I used canning salt and brown sugar instead of white, oh and some diced garlic in it's juice. Could it be the store bought garlic in the juice maybe?
@@missmelody22 - possibly the brown sugar. It can cause discoloration. Otherwise I don’t know. 🤷♀️
I make chow and green tomato salsa but I am going to make your recipe. If I use white vinegar instead of apple cider would that change the flavor. If it would then I will use apple cider. I ask because one of my daughters hates apple cider vinegar. Thanks for the recipe and I will subscribe to your channel.
Dear Ozark Mountain Goats, let me start by saying that I found it a bit disappointing that I was the first one to like this video. What's up with that?
Terrific video! You processed the pint jars for 15', but what about the 1/2 pint jars? Did you process them for 10' or 15'? THANKS!
Evan Panagiotopoulos - Thank you so much for the kind feedback! I process pint and 1/2 pint jars for the same amount of time. Thank you for visiting our channel and have a great weekend! ~ Josie 😊
Hello! how cool is your basement for storing the paper-wrapped tomatoes? Thank you!
Nola Lewis - hi and thank you so much! I’m so thankful we have a basement food storage and equipment room. At our previous house we kept everything in two different closets. It worked but having everything together makes it much nicer. Thank you for visiting our channel and commenting. Have a great upcoming weekend! ~ Josie
Made it with apple cider vinegar. Hope it will be ok? Vs. Just cider vinegar???
Is it the same thing?
Jean Eaton - no worries, it’s the same thing! Enjoy! 😋 ~ Josie
Josi we live pickled tomatoes. Are ya noticing shortage where you live also and are you prepared for it such as storing food just curious.
Hi ~ I’ve mostly noticed that the shelves at our 2 closest Walmart’s are not very well stocked. It seems paper products and cleaning supplies are the worst. Meat prices are pretty high as well. I’ve been preparing for several years. You’ll have to check out my playlist called “Food Storage & Emergency Prepping”. Thanks for the comment and have a great weekend ❣️
can they be stored at room temp or the refridgerator
After being canned they are shelf stable until opened. Once opened they need to be refrigerated. Thanks
Looks Like A Great Recipe ! Could I Cute down On the sugar in order to keep them more tart or are they tart anyway ! Checking out green tomato recipes and came across yours ! It Does sound really good ! Nice Video !
Petes Little Homestead - that’s cool that you stumbled across our recipe while doing a CZcams search! I think you could definitely cut down on the sugar. They are pretty sweet but with a bite to them due to the different spices. Very tasty! Good luck on your recipe search - I hope you find one that you really like! 😊 ~ Josie
Hi , It's my first time trying to pickle green tomatoes, it's looks good and I have lots and lots of green tomatoes. I am sorry but I don't see the recipe posted, I only see the ingredients. Can you please send me a link or paste it here. Thanks Sylvie from Ontario, Canada
Sylvie Carriere - hi and thank you for your comment! I have added the recipe to the description. Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you enjoy the pickled green tomatoes. We think they’re delicious! Thank you for watching, commenting and have a great day! 😊 ~ Josie
Hi Josie, quick question. In your vinegar with the spices, do you add any water? My husband won’t eat it if there is a strong vinegar taste. Most all pickling recipes I use call for a dilution. just curious. Thanks
Hi, and thanks for your question. The vinegar is not diluted. I think it has a little bit of a sweeter bread and butter pickle flavor. Hope this helps! Josie
This is my grandmas piccalilly recipe. She just cut the veggies in strips.
❤️
is the pot you are boiling the jars a canning pot with a rack inside ? my Grandmother used a canning pot and I was wondering if thats what you were using? Thank you very much!!!!
Benz crazy - Hi and thank you for your question! Yes, the pot I’m using is a canner with a rack inside. That happens to be my favorite brand and it’s called Victorio. It has a very thick bottom which prevents scorching/burning and I actually bought a second one! I use it to make 5 gallon batches of soup, etc. Thank you for watching and have a great week! 😊 ~ Josie
I did add red bell pepper.
Sadie Mitchell - sweet bell peppers are great in pickled green tomatoes! ❤️
I tried it,, wow,, thanks,, I never changed a thing,, and after eating some, why would I?
777dwane - that’s awesome, I’m so glad!! Thank you for the kind feedback ❤️
I eat these too, but they come jarred from the grocery store - whole, actually. I know, cheat; but at least I appreciate the concept :)
Hey, nothing wrong with that! I enjoy canning and gardening so it works well for me 😊 Thank you for watching and commenting.
Just discovered your channel via this video which we enjoyed. We have a jar lifter identical to yours and would love to purchase a few for family gifts but haven't found any. Do you possibly have a source?
Hi - the jar lifter is very old and was given to me. I have never seen one like it but I absolutely love it. I think it’s so much easier than the new ones. Possibly search eBay…. ?
I agree with you on being easier to use on the average. This one belonged to my Great Grandmother and my wife and I use it all the time: czcams.com/users/shortsRaeTdhOecH0
@@OzarkMountainGoats
Did you get the actual recipe from the restaurant?
No, I just did some searching and found a recipe that looked good. I think it tastes very much like the restaurants.
Are these green tomatoes sweet tasting like sweet pickle relish? Do I have to put sugar?
The recipe calls for sugar. They are not naturally sweet. If you follow the recipe they will be as sweet as sweet pickles.
if you will put a damp kitchen towel under your cutting board it won't slide on you
How long you leave it for before open a jar?
You can eat right away if you wish but we wait at least 4-5 weeks so flavor can meld together. Thanks for question.
Can you add less sugar?
Danny Thurman - hi and thank you for your question. I think you could decrease the amount of sugar. It would just be a matter of experimenting with the recipe. Thank you for visiting our channel and have a great weekend! 😊 ~ Josie
Can you use cherry tomatoes in this too?
I have never seen it done with cherry tomatoes but that’s a great idea! I would love to know how it turns out if you decide to try it 😊
A what is the purpose of the ice bath?
Rose McCluney - The recipe I have states that the vegetables need to be refrigerated overnight in the salt brine. I believe that’s to pull excess water out of the tomatoes. By covering them with ice and letting it stand for 4 hours, it eliminates that step and makes the process go quicker. Thanks for watching and leaving feedback!
I’m going to try to do these now. I finally succeeded with growing tomatoes & I’m worried that I will be swamped with so many red tomatoes soon. How long do I boil them in the hot water once in the jar?
Carol Ferguson - hi and thank you for your question. I process my green tomatoes 15 minutes. I’m sorry this took so long to respond but I hope it helps! Good luck with your tomatoes ❣️ ~ Josie
Ozark Mountain Goats: thank you! I think they did ok. I hope they all popped. I don’t feel a give in them. Do you think that’s right?
Do the tomatoes get rinsed after sitting in ice bath
Ralph Tamez - yes, I rinse the salt brine off before packing them into jars. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching! 😊
Ozark Mountain Goats thank you, making this today...Ralph in Boise, Idaho
Ralph Tamez - that’s great! I hope you like them 😊
Sugar is poison, can I skip sugar?
secure your cutting board with wet cloth underneath
Great tip! Thanks for watching 😊
Don't confuse syrup with brine.
Can you use tomatoes early in season before they get ripe or no? I just started gardening & am starting to upload videos on my page as well. Hope you'll like & subscribe.
Sorry, for some reason message went to spam. Yes that is what you want to use green tomatoes. Thank you, I'll check your site out!
How do I find the recipe?
It’s in the description
WHEN SHE SAID JARS HAVE TO BE COVERED BY ONE INCH OF WATER DID SHE MEAN TO FILL THE WATER TO OVER THE TOP OF JARS, OR SHE MEANT THAT TOTAL AMOUNT OF WATER SHOULD BE ONE INCH?
When canning, always leave one inch of headspace. That means only add water to within one inch of the top.
@@OzarkMountainGoats got that, but i was curious when you put jars in the container/pan in hot water, how much water should there be? and does the water keep boiling or is just simmering?
@@otherone1234 oh ok, yes cover the jars completely by an inch of water and keep a light boil going until complete.
@@OzarkMountainGoats thanks
got it, thanks, now where do I get/buy green tomatoes in Long island NY? lol I know there is plenty come September, might have to wait till then...
Why can't you just give the recipe
Its in the description of the video. But here it is again~
5 lb green tomatoes
2 medium onions
1/3 cup pickling salt
3 cups cider vinegar
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon mustard seed
optional - red bell peppers or hot peppers
Cut ends off of tomatoes and discard. Slice tomatoes into 1/4 inch rounds or bite-size chunks. Peel onions and slice into 1/4 inch pieces. Add tomatoes and onions to a stock pot or bowl and sprinkle with 1/3 cup pickling salt. Gently toss to coat well. Refrigerate overnight or if you’re in a hurry you can cover with ice and let stand for four hours.
In a large pot combine the vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery seed, and mustard seed. Bring it to a boil and then reduce it to a simmer. Drain the vegetables in a large colander and rinse lightly.
Pack pint size, sterile jars with the vegetables. If desired, add a few thin strips of sweet or hot red pepper. Fill each jar with spice liquid leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims and place lids on jars then secure with rings. They should be fingertip tight. Hot water bath for 15 minutes.
