It’s spring and you might be planting tomatoes, cucumbers, and more in preparation for summer. If you have a bumper crop of tomatoes, you could try these greet tomato pickles. I guess if you have more than you can eat, this is one way to save the fruits of your labor. Note, a peck is just over 2 dry gallons, or 32 cups.

There were always wonderful recipes to use up those green tomatoes. My mom used to make a green tomato mincemeat each year, and I still make it now and then.
