Answer 3

Pickled Green Tomatoes

1 Gal. Jug

Quarter firm green tomatoes to fill jug.
Add all ingredients
Set in refrigerator 3 wks.
Notes: If jug is not filled to 1/4 inch from top add boiled water
Some types of tomatoes do not contain enough acid
To assure firmness,if not sure add 4 tablespoons lemon juice.
If lid of jug is metal,scew on with a folded sheet of waxed paper.
