Pickled Green or Grape Tomatoes

By UncleDick

I used my home grown grape tomatoes for this recipe and each bite tastes like you are eating a spoonful of salsa. Also works well with sliced tomatoes toward the end of the season when they don't quite ripen!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds green tomatoes (about 4 or 5), thinly sliced or enough grape tomatoes (Green) to fill two jars.
• 1 jalapeño, stems removed, cut in half lengthwise
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon dill seed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 sprig cilantro
• 1 sprig oregano
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 2 wide-mouth pint canning jars or 1 wide-mouth quart jar, sterilized
• w/ lids and rings.
