Here\u2019s a quick pickle recipe that may be new to you: Quick green tomato pickles, made with the unripe green tomatoes in your garden. The pickles are crunchy and tart; a fun and interesting recipe to add to your pickle repertoire.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a garden \u2013 I just got curious when I spotted this recipe in The Joy of Pickling<\/em><\/a> by Linda Ziedrich. I\u2019d never thought to pickle an unripe tomato before, but the more I read, the more I wanted to try it myself.<\/p>\n

For those looking to get into pickling, this book is ESSENTIAL. I made freezer pickles<\/a> last year (and am making them again this year). And there are about 30 other pickle recipes I\u2019ve earmarked for later.<\/p>\n

For this quick green tomato pickle recipe, you don\u2019t need a canner, a water bath, or a garden\u2019s worth of green tomatoes to make this work. This recipe requires about 20 minutes of hands-on time. And in 24 hours, you\u2019ve got a tangy, crunchy snack or condiment ready to eat. No canning required.<\/p>\n

Preserving food isn\u2019t just a nostalgic, old-fashioned skill. It\u2019s one of the most practical ways to stretch a grocery budget.<\/p>\n

Another reason to make these pickles? In-season produce is almost always the cheapest it\u2019ll be all year, and pickling, canning, or freezing<\/a> lets you lock in that low price instead of paying more for it out of season later.<\/p>\n

It also means less food waste: produce that might otherwise go soft or get tossed gets a second life as something you\u2019ll actually reach for weeks (or months) later. A jar of quick pickles costs pennies compared to a specialty jar at the store.<\/p>\n
