Green Tomatoes, part 2

Fireballs


Whatever is left of your green cherry tomatoes, poked with a needle
2-3 garlic cloves/jar
celery stalks
hot peppers
a dill sprig for each jar
2 c water
1/4 c kosher salt
4 c white vinegar

Fill sterilized jars with tomatoes, garlic, celery, a hot pepper, and dill.  Boil water, salt, and vinegar. Top each jar with brining solution and process for 10 minutes in a water bath.




Green Tomato Salsa - sweet, super spicy, saucy
This didn't really turn out as intended, but here's the recipe anyway.  It was supposed to be a jelly, but like most of my jellies, it is a sauce.

2 lbs green tomatoes
Several hot peppers
1 tbsp salt
1.5 c sugar
1/2 c white vinegar
1 packet sure gel

Food process tomatoes and peppers.  Boil with sugar, salt and vinegar for 45 minutes.  Process into sterile jars in water bath for 25 minutes.
