This delightful old country recipe makes good use of green tomatoes, and is a sweet and tangy pickle similar to Piccalilli but much sweeter. Taken from a collection of old "Farmers Weekly" reader's recipes, it is very popular in the North East of England and is wonderful with cheese, cold cuts and in sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 225g /8oz green tomatoes (quartered)
- 1 head of celery (finely chopped)

- 600ml/1 pint malt vinegar
- 450g/1lb white caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
