Green Tomato Pickles ### Ingredients

3 cups green tomatoes, sliced
1 cup onion, thinly sliced
1 cup bell pepper, chopped
2 cups vinegar (white or apple cider)
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Start by washing those green tomatoes real nice. Then, slice them into thick pieces. You want ‘em firm!
Next, chop up that onion and bell pepper. Make sure they’re ready to join the party!
In a large pot, mix together the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, pickling spice, turmeric, and black pepper. Bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Once it’s boiling, add in your green tomatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Stir it all up and let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Don’t let it get mushy; you want some of that crunch to shine through!
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool down for a bit. You don’t want to go burnin’ your fingers.
Once it’s cool, pour the pickles into clean, sterilized jars, making sure to pack them tightly. Pour the leftover brine over the top, sealing those flavors in.
Seal the jars tightly and let them sit in the fridge for at least 48 hours—you gotta give those flavors time to mingle!

There you have it, folks! These Highland Street Special Green Tomato Pickles are not just a side item; they’re a true celebration of flavors! Whether you eat ‘em with your meals or on their own, they bring that zing that’ll have you coming back for more. Enjoy and happy pickling!
