A kind friend dropped off a plastic bag full of green tomatoes. Yayyy!
RECIPE: (originally from my Grandmother Horn)
DAY 1: Slice 7 lbs of green tomatoes, cover with 2 gallons of cold water, mixed with 2 cups of lime. (Calcium carbonate, I got mine at Freddy's sold as pickling lime). Let stand 24 hours.
DAY 2: Rinse and cover with cold water, let stand 3 hours. WARNING: Do NOT dump lime down the sink unless you want it cemented shut, take it outside and dispose of it away from dainage system.
DAY 3: Drain and cover with 2 quarts of vinegar, 1 tsp of celery seed, 9 cups of sugar, 1 tsp ground cloves, 1 tbsp whole pickling spice, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover.
