How to Make Canned Green Tomatoes With Spices
- Wash and slice approximately 15 pounds of green tomatoes (about 1 peck).
- Thinly slice 2 medium yellow onions.
- Layer sliced tomatoes and onions in a large crock or stockpot. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt generously between each layer.
- Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours (this is included in prep time).
- After 24 hours, drain off and discard the liquid released from the tomatoes and onions.
- In a large stockpot, combine:
- - 4 cups apple cider vinegar
- - 2 cups granulated sugar
- - 2 tablespoons allspice
- - 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- - 1 tablespoon ground cloves
- - 1 tablespoon celery seed
- - 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- - 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- Stir well with a wooden spoon and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Pack sterilized wide-mouth pint or quart jars with tomatoes and onions (optional). Aim for approximately 2 tomatoes per pint jar, adjusting based on tomato size.
- Carefully ladle the hot vinegar spice mixture over the tomatoes in the jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean. Place lids and rings on jars, tightening fingertip tight.
- Add water to a large canner or pot until it covers the jars by 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Process in the boiling water bath for 20 minutes.
- Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely on a towel-lined surface away from drafts. Listen for the satisfying ‘pop’ as the jars seal.
- Once completely cooled, check to ensure the jars are sealed properly. Store in a cool, dark place.
