Description
I have not yet tried this, but it is from an overdue library book (from our mothers' kitchens) and i want to return the book tomorrow, so need to get the recipes i want to try copied down, pronto. Come fall, there is always a need for green tomato recipes and this pickle sounds like a real winner to me. Prep time includes the standing time.
