Anyone make these? The way my aunt says to do it is cut and salt them for 24hrs, then soak them in vinager for 24hrs, then put them in jars with garlic, basil or mint and some red hot pepper, then cover with olive oil.

This the the way my aunt and grandmother have always made them, they don't sterilize or heat seal anything...just wondering if anyone does anything similar

years ago I made green tomato relish. It is really good. You pick the remaining tomatoes you have on the vine before the frost gets them, chop them fine, chop onion, sweet peppers (I think) and then do the sugar/vinegar thing and process. I I also think I most always waterbath processed my pickles.

I also had a recipe for green tomato "Mince-meat". It tastes just like mince-meat. Spicy and good in pie.

Don't do that stuff anymore. Been there - done that.

I have oven dried Roma tomatos and packed them in oil but I did refrigerate them. Sounds like the same thing. The green tomatos would already be pickled and crunchy from the salt and vinegar. Did pickles this year but didn't process them. Just did hot jars and syrup and they sealed. i will definitely try this, tho! Thank you!!

Made them, but instead of tomatoes I used green beans! MMMMMM..... Tastes exactly like a pickle, except skinnier!
