Ingredients
- 1kg green tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 red chilli, sliced
- Several sprigs fresh dill
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
- 2 tbsp bourbon (you can use the rest of the bottle to make Manhattans!)
Method
1. Slice tomatoes into 8-10 wedges each (or cut in half if using cherry tomatoes). Divide tomatoes among sterilised jars, packing the tomatoes tightly. Place a few slices of garlic, the chilli and a few fronds of dill in each jar.
2. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, salt, honey, peppercorns. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add bourbon.
3. Pour brine over pickles, filling jars almost to the top. Make sure all of the tomatoes are fully submerged.
4. Screw on jar lids and refrigerate for at least 3 days to allow tomatoes to fully pickle.
