How to Make Sweet And Spicy Tomatoes Pickled Green Cherry Tomatoes

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry 2 pounds of green cherry tomatoes (a mix of sizes and colors is great!).
  2. In a large pot, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon celery seeds, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference), and 5 cloves garlic, smashed.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
  4. Carefully add the green tomatoes to the boiling brine. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat and let the tomatoes sit in the brine for at least 30 minutes to allow them to cool and absorb the flavors.
  6. Pack the tomatoes and the brine into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace.
  7. Remove any air bubbles by gently running a knife or spatula around the inside of the jar.
  8. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal tightly with lids.
  9. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specific instructions).
  10. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before enjoying. Enjoy your homemade pickled tomatoes!
