Spicy Pickled Green Tomatoes
Spicy pickled green tomatoes are a bold, tangy way to use up end-of-season tomatoes, packed with heat and classic pickle flavor. Firm green tomatoes are sliced or wedged, packed into jars with spicy peppers and warm pickling spices, then covered with a hot vinegar brine and processed in a water bath canner for a shelf-stable pantry pickle. They’re perfect alongside sandwiches, burgers, BBQ, or chopped into relish trays when you want something crisp with a kick.
