Green Tomato and Onion Pickles

 

1 1/2 cs. granulated sugar

3 cs. cider vinegar

1/2 c. salt

6 tbsps. mustard seed

2 tsps. whole allspice

1 tsp. whole cloves

4 quart green tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch slices

1 1/2 quarts medium onions, sliced

 

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a kettle. Tie the allspice and cloves

in a cheesecloth bag and add to the kettle. Bring to a boil. Add the

tomatoes and onions. Boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until just tender,

lifting the slices from the bottom to the surface with a fork during

cooking. Drain, reserving the liquid, remove the bag and pack the pickles

into clean, hot preserve jars. Reheat the liquid to boiling and pour at

once into the jars over the pickles. Seal, adjusting the lids as the

manufacturer directs. Process in a hot water bath.
