Ingredients

4 pounds small green tomatoes

4 large onions, sliced; or pearl onions - 4 or 5 to each jar

1 cup chopped green Bell pepper

1 or 2 garlic cloves for each pint of pickles

8 cups white vinegar

5 cups granulated sugar

Slice tomatoes 1/4-inch thick if using large tomatoes, or wash and core small round tomatoes.

Place garlic and peppers equally into steriliezed pint jars (if using sliced tomatoes, combine with peppers before packing into jars); pack tomatoes.

Combine remaining ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add to packed jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space. Release any trapped air bubbles.

Process in boiling water bath - time appropriate for your altitude. Yield approximately 8 pints.
