Try some for yourself. Here is my recipe:

Pickled Green Tomatoes

Yield: 2 Quarts

4 heaping tsp. minced garlic or 4 large cloves sliced

2 quarts small green tomatoes

1/2 cup white vinegar

4 cups water

1/8 cup pickling salt

Place 2 tsp. garlic (or 2 cloves garlic) on the bottom of each large mouth mason jar. Then fill the jar with small green tomatoes, cut larger tomatoes to fit.

Combine the vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a medium sized pan and bring to a full boil. When the vinegar solution has cooled to room temperature pour over the tomatoes and refrigerate. Wait for 3 days to eat. Your taste buds will be pleased!
