HOMEMADE SPICY PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES



Homemade Spicy Pickled Green Tomatoes image

I first made these little gems for my husband, who loves anything spicy, on year when we had an especially large crop of tomatoes. Now I have to plant extra tomatoes to make sure I have enough to make this specifically!

Provided by Florassippi Girl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2 Quart Jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

30 -40 small green tomatoes (I used Juliette)
1/2 onion, sliced
2 jalapeno peppers, cut into discs
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Fill two clean, quart canning jars with bite sized green tomatoes. Any variety you prefer is fine, as long as they're green. I used Juliette tomatoes here, but have also used Cherry and Sweet 100, all successfully. Distribute sliced onion, jalapeno slices, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic evenly between the two jars. Wipe the rims clean with a damp paper towel.
  • On the stovetop, boil the rings and lids for the jars in water for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, heat distilled white vinegar until boiling. (Be sure you have enough to fill the jars. - Any remaining vinegar can be poured back into the container after it cools.) Pour hot vinegar into pre-packed jars leaving 1/4 inch space at the top of each jar. Secure one lid and ring per jar, and leave on your counter to cool. The lid will make a single 'pop' sound as it cools, letting you know that it sealed properly. For Best results and flavor, let it sit at least a week before eating -- If you can wait that long.

Garden Fresh Green Tomato Quick Bread tastes nothing like tomatoes! Often confused for Banana or Zucchini bread, this Green Tomato Quick Bread gets two thumbs up by everyone. Tomato haters will never suspect there are tomatoes in the bread!

Provided by Janelle

Categories     Bread

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F. Grease two 9x5 bread pans and set aside. Tip: You may want to put a piece of parchment paper on the bottom or nonstick foil. Mine tend to stick a little to the pan when only using cooking spray. In a mixing bowl combine sugar and oil. Mix well. Add eggs, vanilla and salt. Mix well again, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Add cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add flour until completely combined. Mixture will be thick. Add in diced tomatoes and stir well. Mixture will thin out from moisture tomatoes bring. If adding walnuts, add now. (Photos are with walnuts) Pour half of batter in each pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean from center of bread. Cool for 5 minutes in pan and then remove from pan and cool on a rack.

SPICY, GARLICKY MEATLOAF



Spicy, Garlicky Meatloaf image

This meatloaf is as pungent and zesty as a meatball, but baked in that iconic, sliceable loaf form. A combination of chilies and sage add a spicy, earthy note, and a glaze of tomato paste and olive oil elevates a traditional dish away from its ketchup roots. The pine nuts are a visual cue: this is something a little different. And it tastes great the day after.
