One year, well actually several years for a while back, we had so many tommy toe tomatoes coming off they were up to our Yang-Yangs. Being a pickler I thought I must be able to do something with these, so I looked through all my pickling books & came up with this recipe. They look like olives in the jar but are really salty, sour. Great on an appetizer tray. This is from a Storey Publishing Bulletin A-91 called Pickles & Relishes

    Peggi's note: This says, "Yield: 1 quart" but can't be right because it calls for 2 quarts of water alone. I have in ( ) on this recipe the measures halved & quartered : water, vinegar, & salt. The other stuff is for 1 quart, all above the water. Can't believe they made that mistake.
