    A three day process. Slice thinly and layer with salt in a colander, weigh down with a plate overnight. Rinse the next day, and cover with equal parts white vinegar and water, and let sit overnight. Drain and pat dry, pack into jars with garlic and mint or hot peppers (or oregano, or your favorite herb), cover with vegetable oil-not olive oil, as it will stiffen in the fridge. Great on a sandwich or as part of an antipasto platter. They keep for months in the fridge. Recipe from my 102 year old aunt.

    Nice. I've gotten lazy in my old age. I slice thin (red onions, chili peppers, etc.), add apple cider vinegar, S&P, Italian spice blend from Costco, brown sugar (I don't like these sweet, so I go light here). Then, zap in the microwave until it's hot but not boiling (70 sec w/ our model), let cool a bit, cover, into the fridge.

    For those green tomatoes, did you peel/remove skin before hand? I tried pickled green tomatoes earlier this year, and it was good in taste, but poor in texture, largely due to the skins I think. Thanks!

    we do porcini sott'olio where I'm from. Great antipasto with some parmigiano. use the little button porcini that we find.
    we used to jar our own tomato for sauce, but alas no one is around anymore, the youngins aren't up to the task. I keep doing it because I love the sauce in the winter months.
