Last year after having to replant the garden in late june (dog went de-weeding) I had several tomatoes\u00a0plants with green tomatoes\u00a0on them. Being that I hate wasting food and especially since I had to replant most of those plants after the earlier incident I didn’t\u00a0want to just toss them into the compost pit. So after some searching I found this online, but sorry I forget where.<\/p>\n
\u2022 2-3 pounds firm green tomatoes, large or small
\n\u2022 1 large or 2 medium onions, quartered or cut into 8 pieces
\n\u2022 4 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise
\n\u2022 3-4 bell peppers, red or green, seeded and each cut into 6 long pieces
\n\u2022 3-4 fresh or dried chilies, halved lengthwise with scissors but left attached at the stem
\n\u2022 4 bay leaves
\n\u2022 2-3 tablespoons coarsely crushed coriander seeds<\/p>\n
The Brine:\u2028
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022 1 quart white vinegar \u2028
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022 1\/2 cup water
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022 2 tablespoons honey \u2028
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022 3 tablespoons salt
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022 2 cinnamon sticks<\/p>\n
Cut the tomatoes, onions, peppers and garlic and layer them in clean jars with the chilies, bay leaves and coriander seeds.
\nMix all of the brine ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil.
\nCook, stirring, until the honey and salt are completely dissolved.
\nPour the brine into the jars covering the vegetables, leaving 1\/2 inch head space.<\/p>\n
Seal the jars and process<\/p>\n
My Sister loves this and between her and the wife the 8 jars I made didn’t last very long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
