Nice red tomatoes in the summer, what a wonderful time of the year! Next to that my favorite time is late summer and all the green tomatoes that are available. I love fried green tomatoes but my very favorite is making green tomato pickles! This is a very easy recipe and it is something you can enjoy all winter long. I even have taken a jar of these as a housewarming gift!! They stay nice and crisp and have a wonderful flavor. You won't be sorry if you give these a try!
