Ingredients
Instructions
- Follow the directions on the Mrs. Wages kosher dill mix package, substituting sliced green tomatoes for cucumbers.
- Pack the sliced green tomatoes into jars with the dill mix and vinegar as directed on the package.
- Process in a hot water bath just long enough to seal and change color.
- Be careful not to process too long, as the tomatoes can become soft.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider adding garlic cloves or red pepper flakes to your jars before sealing. If you prefer a sweeter pickle, you can substitute a portion of the vinegar with apple cider vinegar. Ensure your jars and lids are sterilized to prevent spoilage. Monitor the pickling process carefully; over-processing can lead to mushy tomatoes. Always taste the brine before sealing for a balanced flavor.

Storage & Reheating
Store your sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year. Once opened, keep the pickles in the refrigerator, where they can last for several weeks. Reheat them gently if desired, but they are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature to preserve their crunch.
