Take two gallons large smooth green tomatoes, make a pickle of three pints of vinegar, and one quart of water, two tablespoons salt, one tablespoon each, spice, cloves and cinnamon, one pound of sugar: scald spices ten minutes in vinegar and water, then add tomatoes and scald till tender, slice for table, pour sauce over. N. B. Strain spices, over the tomatoes, and seal while warm; some prefer without salt.
TO PRESERVE TOMATOES FOR WINTER USE.
MRS. ERNEST F. WURTELE.
To fifteen pounds tomatoes, put three ounces of white sugar, and three ounces of salt, boil very hard for twenty minutes. Fill up pint jars to overflowing and screw down tight; as they cool off, screw them again so as to be sure they are quite tight. This quantity fills ten pint jars. Skin the tomatoes before boiling, this is quickly done by pouring boiling water over them.
