Green Tomato Pickles.
1 peach basket of tomatoes sliced up over night and covered with 2 cups of salt and water enough to cover them. The next morning drain off the salt water and rinse thoroughly and then stand and drain quite dry. Then take 1 qt of vinegar and cook the tomatoes in the vinegar a few at a time and skim them out of the vinegar and put in a jar after drain them until all have been cooked. Be sure you drain off all the vinegar you can, then set them aside until the next day when you drain them again. Take another qt of vinegar, 3¹⁄₂ lbs of sugar, ¹⁄₄ lb of cloves and whole mustard seeds and cook the syrup quite thick and pour over them and seal tight for use.
