To pickle tomatoes.
Take round, smooth, green tomatoes; put them in salt water, cover the kettle and
place it over the fire, so that the tomatoes become scalded, which is done by
bringing it only to the boiling point. Take out the tomatoes. While the tomatoes
now stay in cold water, have another vessel filled with vinegar, to which is
added common pepper and mustard. The tomatoes are cut in two, the seeds shaken
out and the insides dried with a cloth. They are now put in glass jars and the
vinegar poured on. Must be kept air tight.
