Ingredients
- 2 pounds tiny green tomatoes
- 6 sprigs fresh dill sprigs
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 cups white vinegar
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Wash the tiny green tomatoes thoroughly and remove any stems. Set aside.
Step 2
Sterilize 4 pint-sized canning jars and their lids by washing them in hot soapy water and then boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Leave them to dry on a clean towel.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them in half.
Step 4
In each sterilized jar, place 1-2 dill sprigs, 1 garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 1/4 teaspoon of mustard seeds, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Step 5
Divide the tiny green tomatoes evenly among the jars, packing them tightly but leaving at least 1/2 inch of space at the top.
Step 6
Prepare the pickling brine by combining white vinegar, water, kosher salt, and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar.
Step 7
Once the brine is boiling, carefully pour it over the tomatoes in the jars, ensuring the tomatoes are completely submerged but still leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Step 8
Use a clean utensil to remove any air bubbles in the jars, then wipe the rims with a damp paper towel to ensure a clean seal.
Step 9
Seal the jars with the sterilized lids and bands, tightening them just until fingertip-tight.
Step 10
Process the sealed jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are shelf-stable. Adjust processing time if you're at a higher altitude.
Step 11
Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool on a clean towel. Check the seals after 24 hours. If any jars didn’t seal properly, store them in the refrigerator and consume within a few weeks.
Step 12
Allow the pickles to cure for at least 2 weeks before opening to let the flavors develop fully. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
