Steps:
- Cut away the brown area and leave a small hole in the tomatoes, which will allow the brine to penetrate into the tomatoes.
- Place the tomatoes in a 3 ½ quart glass jar.
- Put all of the spices into a large bowl and add some water to the mix. Then pour this mixture into the jar and top off with water.
- Place a small item (piece of plastic, wood, etc.) on top to keep the tomatoes down and under the water/brine.
- Close jar and turn upside down to mix all the ingredients.
- Open jar and place a piece of plastic wrap on the top. Use a rubber band to keep it in place. Using a kitchen knife, punch many holes in the plastic wrap in order to let some of the brine gases out.
- Place in a cool location for 3-4 weeks. From time to time you can remove any scum on the top and add a little salted water to top off, and shake the mixture. Then place in the refrigerator.
- The tomatoes are done when they change color from light green to a dull olive green.
