Pickling Vegetables
List of Ingredients
Pickling Other Vegetables
Vegetables ordinarily used for brining are green tomatoes, green beans,
green and red peppers, onions and cauliflower. Follow the same
instructions for making Brined Dill Cucumbers, except use the following
freshening or desalting process and recipes.
Freshening or Desalting Brined Vegetables
Remove surplus salt. To do this soak in an equal part of vinegar and water
until sufficient salt is removed. This also makes the pickles plump and
attractive. The brined vegetables should taste fairly salty, for the salt helps
to preserve as well as give flavor.
Recipe
Green Tomato Dill Pickles
Green tomatoes, if freshly picked, can be used for making dill tomato
pickles. Select uniform size tomatoes in excellent condition. The amount
of brine planned for 20 pounds of dill cucumbers will be sufficient for the
same amount of dill tomatoes. Use Brined Dill Cucumber recipe,
substituting tomatoes for cucumbers.
