Is it safe to make pickled green tomatoes from plants that have blight?
Gardens usually have an abundance of small green tomatoes still on the tomatoes plants near the end of the gardening season and frost is eminent. A good way to use those green tomatoes is to make dill tomatoes with them, also known as pickled green tomatoes. Many gardener’s grow some tomatoes for the specific purpose of pickling the green tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes make the prettiest dilled or pickled tomatoes, but you can slice and use full size tomatoes in this pickling process also. To make dill tomatoes, line a stone crock with grape leaves then sprinkle them with pickling spices. Next, place a layer of fresh dill on the pickling spices. Use the entire dill plant, stems, flowers and seeds, preferably fresh from your own garden. Next, you will fill the stone crock by layering green cherry tomatoes (or green tomato slices) with more pickling spices and fresh dill. When the stone crock is full, make a brine to pour over the green tomatoes. To make the brine, use 3 gallons of water, 2 c
