This is a good way to use up the green tomatoes from the garden at the end of the season. I'm estimating the prep time - using a food processor will reduce it! Ingredients:
3 lbs green tomatoes |
3 lbs apples (i prefer green) |
3 lbs onions |
1 lb raisins |
1 1/2 quarts vinegar, plus |
1 pint vinegar (any kind) |
2 tablespoons dry mustard |
2 tablespoons whole pickling spices |
1 1/2 lbs brown sugar |
2 tablespoons salt |
2 teaspoons white pepper |
1 teaspoon cayenne |
2 teaspoons ground ginger |
Directions:
1. Skin (or not- its your choice) tomatoes.
2. Pare& core apples.
3. Peel onions.
4. Chop the whole lot as finely as you like it- or until your arm gets tired!
5. Put everything into a LARGE, heavy pot.
6. Add raisins& first amount of vinegar.
7. Cook until, about 1/2 hour.
8. Meanwhile, dissolve mustard in 2nd amount of vinegar& add to pot.
9. Tie pickling spice into a square of cheesecloth& add to pot.
10. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot& bring to a boil.
11. Reduce heat& simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally for 2 hours.
12. Remove cheesecloth spice bag& pour hot mixture into sterilized jars.
