1 peck green tomatoes sliced the day before you are ready for pickling, sprinkling them through and through with salt—not too heavily. In the morning drain off all liquor from them. Have a dozen good-sized onions rather coarsely sliced. Take a suitable kettle and put in a layer of sliced tomatoes, then of onions, and between each layer sprinkle the following spices: 6 red peppers chopped coarsely, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoonful each of ground cinnamon, ground allspice and mustard, 1 teaspoonful of cloves. Pour over 3 pints good vinegar, or enough to completely cover them, boil until tender. If the flavor of onions is objectionable the pickle is equally good without them.
