My dad's girfriend's father has been making pickled green tomatoes for years, which I've had the pleasure of enjoying on several occasions. With Matt's and my first garden producing bounty of green tomatoes, I decided to use his recipe and make a few jars myself. Even following his directions (mostly), my tomatoes didn't come out exactly the same. It may very well have been the varieties we grew, which I wasn't the biggest fan of. You live and learn, as my father-in-law says.
Next year I'd like to further explore the pickling universe as I have tried and loved many pickled things. Among my favorites are these okra pickles, which is funny because I ordinarily don't like okra. What is your preferred pickled treat?
Pickled asparagus is delicious! Your pickled green tomatoes look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen pictures of pickled green tomatoes - they look kinda scary - would make a good halloween decoration! I love sauerkraut!
ReplyDeleteIt's vegan and it's food! Seems to be on topic! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a big fan of pickled anything. Except maybe olives. I do like pickled ginger as a condiment, though!
I've never seen pickled green tomatoes before. What a neat idea. This year my favorite pickled items are carrots and zucchini. But nothing beats pickled cucumbers.
