SUGAR, SALT & VINEGAR RED TOMATOES
I just reviewed a Sugar Glazed Fried Green Tomato recipe on Zaar and it reminded me of a recipe I use constantly during the summer and it is not posted. My mother stated it was Swedish and my father stated it was German or Bavarian. Very simple and the marinating juice can be used in soups, stews or vegetable pies. Note: You can use raw sugar also. These tomatoes can be added to a simple lettuce salad and no dressing is necessary or served separately with juice drained.

EDITH'S RED TOMATO CHOW-CHOW
My girlfriend's MIL fashioned this recipe many years ago and it is wonderful! Easy to make, and so good with so many things. Note: The easiest way I have found to sterilize jars is to wash and rinse them well, fill them with boiling water for a few minutes, empty, and keep them hot in a 200°F oven till you are ready to fill them. The flat sealing lids should be boiled for about five minutes, and the rings should be twisted only finger tight. Enjoy these pickles - beats anything you can buy ready-made. They keep for a very long time, which is a bonus.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Select tomatoes that are fully ripe and have a deep red color. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your dish.
- Choose the right vinegar: There are many different types of vinegar that can be used in this recipe, but some of the most popular include white vinegar, red wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar.

- Add sugar to balance the acidity: The addition of sugar helps to balance out the acidity of the vinegar and tomatoes, creating a more harmonious flavor profile.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more sugar, vinegar, or salt to achieve the desired flavor.

This simple yet flavorful dish is a great way to enjoy fresh tomatoes. The combination of sugar, salt, and vinegar creates a delicious and refreshing balance of flavors. This dish can be served as a side dish or as a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes.
