PICKLED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Simmer the washed mason jars and lids in the large pot of water to sterilize the jars before filling them.
• As the jars are simmering, wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Remove any leaves that may be attached. Using a clean knife, needle or skewer, prick each cherry tomato to allow the brine to penetrate the tomatoes. Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half.
• Measure out all the dry ingredients listed above. In a dry pan over medium heat, gently toast the dill seed, mustard seed, black peppercorns, and chili flakes. Once the spices are toasted remove the spices from the pan and set aside.
• Measure out the vinegars, water, sugar and salt, and bring them to a boil in a small pot.
• As the mixture heats up, remove the mason jars and lids from the large pot of water. Gently place the jars on a dishtowel. Carefully fill each hot jar with an equal amount of the toasted spice mix, 1 half garlic clove, and one sprig of garlic. Pack the jars with the pricked cherry tomatoes.
• When the jars are filled and the pickling liquid has come to a boil, carefully pour the hot liquid into each jar, leaving a 1/2 inch of space to the rim of the jar. If you spilled a little, wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to ensure the jars seal properly.

Steps:

• Prepare vegetables, water bath canner, jars and lids. I kept my veggie piles separate so I could make sure to get some of each veggie in every jar.
• In large saucepot, combine salt, water, vinegar and sugar and bring to a boil. Pack vegetables into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Add one head of dill and one garlic clove to each jar.
• Ladle hot liquid over vegetables, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and double check headspace. Wipe rims and cover with two piece caps. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath canner.
• Remove to a towel on the counter to cool for 8-12 hours. Remove rings and check seals. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator and use within a month. Label jars and store in a cool, dry location out of direct light. Best if used within 12-18 months.

PICKLED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Wash 2 wide-mouth, 16-ounce mason jars with lids with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Wash and dry the tomatoes and remove and discard any stem ends still attached. Use a skewer or toothpick to poke a hole all the way through each of the tomatoes. This helps the pickling brine infuse its way into each tomato and keeps them from floating up inside of the jars.
• Evenly divide the tomatoes, garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs, between the two prepared jars.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes.
• Bring to a boil over high, stirring until sugar dissolves.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Pour over the tomatoes in the mason jars.
• Cover with a tight-fitting lid and chill for at least 2 days to allow the flavors to combine and infuse before enjoying.

VIVIAN HOWARD'S PICKLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Put your tomatoes in a large, wide, heatproof bowl that is plenty large enough to hold all the ingredients. I like to assemble and start to "pickle" my weapons there on the counter, letting their flavors marry as they cool down. Then, once they're mixed together and have reached room temperature, I transfer them to smaller containers suitable for the fridge. (This recipe is sized to just barely fit into two quart-size mason jars, but you may have a little extra. While you can try to pull it all together directly in the jars, that might just be a big mess waiting to happen.)
• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring all the ingredients except for the tomatoes and the olive oil to a boil over medium heat. Let it boil for 1 minute. Then add the olive oil and bring back to a boil. Immediately pour over the tomatoes in the big bowl, pressing them down to make sure they are submerged.
• Let the tomatoes and the liquid cool to room temperature without the aid of an ice bath or anything to speed the process along. If you've got room in your fridge, the big bowl can go in there. But if the weapons sit out at room temperature overnight, that's totally fine. The more slowly they cool down, the more quickly they will pickle. Once they've cooled, transfer the pickled tomatoes to jars and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 days or up to 3 months.
