Green Tomato Pickles! These are a family favorite.
My husband grew up enjoying these green tomato pickles, and now I have grown to love them too. They are kind of a quirky thing, but they are quite easy to can and are even better than pickles if you’re going for something salty and crunchy.
Our four year old loves them too!
