Ingredients
  • Green tomatoes - 4-5 med for pints, double for quarts
  • Peeled, fresh garlic cloves, 2 per pint (3-4 if doing quarts)
  • Fresh dill sprigs, 1 per jar
  • 1 tbl dill seed per pint (1 1/2 tbl per quart)
  • 1 dried hot pepper, or one hot cherry pepper, or 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Pickle Crisp (Ball makes this, it is food-grade calcium chloride) *optional
  • White, distilled vinegar - 4 cups
  • Water - 12 cups
  • Kosher (or "canning") salt - 2/3 cup

Directions
  1. Fill and boil water bath canner
  2. Green tomatoes - I slice them horizontally; they are lace-like in the jar and beautiful. any thickness you like, I will do one jar with the leftover "shoulder" pieces and chunky parts, and some sliced with the mandoline, very thin - however you prefer! I've even take very small and green cherry tomatoes, pike a hole or two with a pin, and do them whole, what a neat treat around the holidays!
  3. Wash and sterilize jars and rings.
  4. Boil water, vinegar and salt, over med - med high
  5. Place ingredients in jar then pack the tomatoes. I lay the slices on the outside, they are so pretty, then pack regular.
  6. Once packed, seals and rings placed - hot water bath for 10 minutes, according to guidelines.
  7. Let sit for a minimum of 1 week for flavors to develop.
  8. * Now... for a REAL treat... take the pickles out and drain, batter and fry and serve with tartar sauce - heaven. (keep the juice for potatoe salad, deviled eggs, etc)
