A further addition from the master pickle maker.....

To make pickled green tomatoes....use the same recipe as above, but
add a 2 -3 inch piece of fresh celery stalk to the jar. Let stand
for 5 weeks at room temperature, then refrigerate and enjoy...

Remember, do not use a bare metal top...the vinegar and salt will
rust it and give the pickles a bad taste...
