Green Tomato Bread and Butter Pickles

This is the last green tomato recipe this year, I swear.
But I saved the best for last!

Ingredients:
2  1/2 lbs green tomatoes, sliced 1/4" 
1 medium onion, sliced 1/4"
1 small red pepper, diced
3 tbsps pickling salt
1  1/2 cups vinegar
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp celery seed
2 tsp pickling spice

I halved the tomatoes, then cut into 1/4" slices, then cut those slices in half again to get 1/4" quarter slices of tomato. Toss them with the onions, peppers and pickling salt.

Refrigerate overnight.



The next day drain and only lightly rinse.
In a large pot, combine vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery seed and pickling spice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the veggies and return to boil, then simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat.


Pack the pickles into sterilized jars and fill with the liquid.
Seal with sterilized lids and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.



Wait 2 weeks before eating. (I could only wait 1 week before trying them and they're great!)



Small batch...just these 2 jars. Next year I plan on making more!

  1. I want to try this weekend as I have several types and colors of cherry tomatoes. They'll be pretty in the jars! Can I post a picture here??! Thanks for sharing this. My mom made bread and butter pickles and I miss her so much. But I have no patience for that. This looks easier and I can make a small batch!! 😍
