I first made these pickles back in 1977 when we got a garden put in late in the season. That fall I had a huge harvest of green tomatoes. I was able to harvest half of them in the cellar between newspapers but still had too many left over. Read more So I made green tomato pickles all 13 quarts of them. It's a good thing I love them. I got this recipe out of an old county fair cookbook I had at the time. See less
