Pickled Green Tomatoes image

This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe in Fred Dubose's wonderful cookbook from a bygone era, "Four Great Southern Cooks." It is sort of a cross between a pickle and a relish. Do not worry about the salt; most of it will go out when the tomatoes are drained.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds green tomatoes, sliced
1/3 cup kosher salt
1 3/4 cups cider vinegar
2/3 cup raw brown sugar
3 tablespoons whole mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds

2 large yellow onions, sliced
2 large green peppers, seeded and diced
1 to 2 hot red or green chiles (such as a Serrano or jalapeƱo), seeded if desired and minced
