This recipe is my dear departed grandmother Edna’s, I have been making them for years, they are so delicious, and can be served with meat, or on a ham or cheese sandwich to add that extra zing!

Ingredients:

• 3kg green tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 kg brown onions, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp salt
• 3 cups cider vinegar
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 kg sugar (if you are health conscious add a little less, but the vinegar & sugar preserve the pickles)
• 8 tbsp cider vinegar, extra
• 3 tbsp curry powder, level not heaped
• 3 tbsp mustard powder, level not heaped

Method:

1. Combine the tomatoes and onions in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and mix well.  Cover and leave to stand overnight.
2. The next day, drain off the liquid.
3. Place the tomatoes and onions in a large saucepan, add the vinegar, pepper and sugar and bring to the boil.   Boil for 60 minutes, stirring often.
4. Mix the extra vinegar with dry spices and stir into the green tomato and onion mixture.
5. Boil for 5 minutes or until thickened and well combined.
6. Pour into sterilised jars and seal.

You can eat these amazing pickles immediately or store in a cool, dry and dark place for up to 2 years.  Along with my zucchini pickles these have to be my favourite!
