Recently one of my tomatoes was damaged in the wind, and I had a whole lot of green tomatoes. This is also something that happens at the end of the season when the plants need to come out. How to use them up? Make a pickle, similar to the relishes used on hot dogs. This is easy as anything to do.
The amount of capsicums you use can be varied, as also to onions. If you want to keep it for a long time leave out the garlic to avoid poisoning. I used old pickle jars that I sterelised, but you can use canning jars also.
I started this blog to ensure some of our well used family recipies do not ever get lost. Each one has been tested by the family, most over several years, and is rated according to how difficult it is to make. If you would like updates whenever a new recipie goes on, just put your email address in the box on the right. I love comments, so feel free to leave some.

Quick Pickled Vegetables
OK, I admit it, I am obsessed. I love quick pickles as a way of adding to a summer salad and jazzing up vegetables.
This is the basic pickled vegetable recipe, and can be adapted to any vegetable. The trick is to combine herbs and spices that you enjoy. Use the pickles in salads, on sandwiches or as side dishes, they are great for summer. They make great Christmas presents too.
It is a very forgiving recipe, and I have often chopped the herbs in the blender with the water before adding them all to the pot.
You can keep these for up to 5 days in the fridge, or use them after about 1 hour.
