Description

These dilled pickled tomatoes offer a bright, acidic crunch that cuts through rich meals perfectly. Whether you use firm green tomatoes for a substantial bite or sweet cherry tomatoes for a pop of color, the brine is key. Infused with fresh dill, garlic, and celery, the flavor profile is herbaceous and tangy. This recipe is ideal for summer canning projects, adding a homemade touch to sandwiches, cheese boards, or as a vibrant side to grilled meats. The process is straightforward, resulting in a pantry staple that improves with age. Enjoy the satisfying snap of perfectly preserved vegetables that capture the essence of summer produce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Select small, firm green tomatoes or cherry tomatoes and wash them thoroughly.
  2. Pack the tomatoes tightly into sterilized quart-sized jars.
  3. Add 1 peeled garlic clove, 1 stalk of celery, several strips of green pepper, and a large spray of fresh dill to each jar.
  4. In a large pot, combine 2 quarts of water, 1 quart of vinegar, and 1/2 cup of pickling salt.
  5. Bring the brine mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil for 5 minutes.
  6. Carefully pour the hot brine over the vegetables in the jars, leaving appropriate headspace.
  7. Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids.
  8. Allow the pickles to cool and then store in a cool, dark place for about 4 weeks before consuming for best flavor.
  9. Optionally, add hot red pepper, celery seed, or mustard seed to the vinegar mixture for extra spice and flavor complexity.
