Green Tomato Pickle

Slice one peck of green tomatoes and four green peppers. Place vegetables in a stone jar in layers, sprinkling each layer thickly with salt.

Drain in the morning through a colander. Add four large onions, sliced, along with an ounce of whole cloves, one ounce of cinnamon, and two pounds of brown sugar.

The next day, if the syrup seems thin, drain it off and boil down. Cover top of jar with a cloth before setting away.
