I tried her [[Tomato|tomato]] [[Pickle|pickle]] last year and found it to be excellent so I asked her for the recipe. She kindly obliged; so here it is!

===Recipe source===

* From a recipe book of bygone days - thank you [https://www.facebook.com/janet.potten Janet Potton].
===Variations===
Green [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] can be used instead of ripe tomatoes, they will just take longer to soften.
===Chef's notes===
I made this [[Pickle|pickle]] a year ago and tried it immediately. Big mistake. I thought it was unpleasant so did not add the recipe to [[Cookipedia]]. I kept the jars of pickle and when I tasted it after it had matured for a year, it was delicious.

[[Popping]] the [[Kilner jars]] into a [[Dishwasher|dishwasher]] cleans and sterilises them, and if your timing is good, they will be warm and ready for the [[Pickling|pickling]] process.
