Pickled Green Tomatoes with Onions and Spices
Before the killing frosts, gather green tomatoes and optional onions, brine with vinegar and sugar, add spices in a cheesecloth bag, boil briefly, then simmer until barely tender and seal in jars. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Use for Discarded Woolen Hose
Old woolen stockings should not be washed. If opened out they serve as furniture polishers and house flannel. Cut-off feet can polish with beerwax and turpentine. Worn stockings may be donated to charity. Opened stockings can form a warm child’s under bodice, with crochet edging. Stocking hems create a vest or petticoat for a poor child.
