THE BEST AND EASIEST GREEN TOMATOE PICKLE

I have alot of green tomatoes left so thought I would post this recipe:

Green tomato pickle - Chef: Sally Wise - Sally says this is "...the best and easiest pickle recipe she's ever come across".

You need:
Tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, spices and flavouring. Use a good quality curry powder for best results.

750 ml bottle vinegar (white gives the best presentation)
3kg (6lb) green tomatoes
1kg (2lb) onions
small handful of salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1kg (2lb) sugar
3 tablespoons curry powder
3 tablespoons mustard powder

Method:
Chop the onions and tomatoes, sprinkle with salt, mix well in a bowl, then leave to stand overnight.
Next day drain off the fluid. Add three quarters of the vinegar, bring to the boil and boil for 10 minutes. Add the sugar, bring back to the boil, stirring, then boil for one hour, stirring often.
Mix the remaining vinegar with the dry ingredients. Add to the pot and stir until well combined. Boil 5 minutes, then bottle and seal.
