Pickled Green Tomatoes

I found this recipe in a community cookbook called Favorite Recipes of the Lower Cape Fear (Wilmington, North Carolina Cookbook).

  • 4 lb green tomatoes
  • 2 c vinegar
  • 2 sticks cinnamon, broken
  • 1/2 T black pepper
  • 1/2 T celery seed
  • 4 onions, sliced
  • 1 lb b. sugar
  • 10 cloves
  • 1/2 T mustard seed
  • 1/2 T turmeric

Method:
Slice and sprinkle handful of salt over tomatoes and onions. Let stand overnight. Drain. Add all other ingredients and stew carefully, letting boil for ten minutes. Put in a stone jar and cover. Allow to stand for about a week before eating.
