Green Tomato Pickles

Green Tomato Pickles
  • 1 gallon green tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 6 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon whole cloves
  • 1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
  • 1 tablespoon celery seeds
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seed
  • 1 tablespoon ground mustard
  • 3 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 3 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 lemon, sliced
  • 2 red bell peppers, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced


  1. In a large ceramic bowl or crock, combine green tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle with salt. Refrigerate overnight.
  2. Pour cold water over tomatoes and onions, and let stand for 1 hour. Place peppercorns, cloves, allspice berries, mustard seeds, and ground mustard in a small cheesecloth bag.
  3. Drain tomatoes and onions.
  4. In a large pot, stir together vinegar and sugar, and then add the tomatoes and onions, the cheesecloth bag with spices, the sliced lemon, and minced red pepper. Bring to a low boil, and then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Check frequently; you may need to pull the pot off of the heat occasionally to prevent scorching. Discard spice bag.
  5. Fill sterilized jars with tomato mixture, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Garnish with thin strips of red pepper arrange vertically along the sides of the jars. Screw on lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Remove jars and let jars cool completely. Refrigerate any that haven't sealed completely. Store sealed jars in a cool dark place.
