Pickled green tomatoes in a glass jar

Pickled Green Tomatoes

Pickled green tomatoes are a cherished delicacy in many cultures, offering a tangy and savory flavor that complements grilled meats, sandwiches, or stands alone as a zesty snack. Traditionally, unripe tomatoes were pickled as a clever way to preserve the late-season harvest before the first frost. The blend of vinegar, fresh dill, and aromatic spices unlocks their unique, tangy essence while maintaining a pleasingly firm texture. *Pro Tip*: For an extra-crisp bite, submerge the tomato slices in ice water for 30 minutes before adding them to the brine!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash and slice the green tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

    2

    In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.

    Pack the green tomatoes into a clean glass jar. As you layer the tomatoes, add the garlic, black peppercorns, bay leaves, dill, and red chili flakes.

    4

    Pour the hot brine over the tomatoes, making sure they are fully submerged. You may need to gently press them down.

    5

    Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating.
