Preserving Green Tomatoes
Canned Slices
Wash, core and slice green tomatoes. Pack loosely in Wide Mouth pint or quart canning jars.
To insure safe acidity, add 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice or ½ teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes.
For pints, use 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice or ¼ teaspoon citric acid.
Cover with boiling water to ½-inch of top of jars. Add 1/4 teaspoon of pickling or canning salt to each jar if you wish.
Process pints 40 minutes and quarts 45 minutes in boiling water bath.
You can also preserve them in a Steam Canner.
To use, drain slices, pat dry with a paper towel
and prepare according to a recipe for green tomatoes as a vegetable, main dish, or dessert.

Fermented Green Tomatoes Recipe
Pickled the old-fashioned way, through fermentation, these green tomatoes are fermented slowly with hot peppers and garlic for plenty of good flavor.
Fermentation 14 days
Equipment
Quart-sized Jar
Fermentation Seal
Glass Weights
Ingredients
4 cups water
2 tablespoons finely ground real salt
1 1/2 pounds green tomatoes quartered
4 medium hot peppers sliced ¼-inch thick
6 medium garlic cloves
Instructions
Warm 2 cups water in a small saucepan, and then whisk in the salt until it dissolves. Turn off the heat, and let cool to room temperature.
Place the tomatoes into a jar, and then add the hot peppers and garlic. Pour the cooled brine over them, adding additional water to cover if necessary. Place a glass fermentation weight over the tomatoes, and seal the jar.
Allow the tomatoes to ferment at least 14 days, and up to 6 weeks. Taste the tomatoes periodically, and when they're sour enough for your liking, transfer them to the fridge where they'll keep at least 6 months.
