Comment préparer Eleanor's Green Tomato Pickle
- In a large glass or crockery bowl, combine 4 pounds green tomatoes, coarsely chopped, 2 medium onions, thinly sliced, and 1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped.
- Sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of salt and stir well to coat all vegetables.
- Cover the bowl and let the mixture stand for two hours. This draws out excess moisture.
- Drain the vegetables in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water.
- Drain again to remove excess water.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 4 cups white vinegar, 4 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons celery seed, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat).
- Over medium heat, bring the vinegar mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Stir in the drained vegetables and return the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- While the pickle simmers, prepare your jars: Sterilize two-cup mason jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
- Ladle the hot pickle into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top of each jar.
- Carefully wipe the rims of the jars clean and firmly seal with lids and rings.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Ensure jars are fully submerged during processing.
- Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely at room temperature. You should hear the satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
- Once cooled, check the seals to ensure they are airtight. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks to allow flavors to meld. Refrigerate after opening.
