Pop it into your mouth, and it will burst with flavor! Pickling is easy and rewarding. Refrigerate them and serve a few at a time as a welcome addition to every meal. Surprise your family and your guests with this unusual, piquant, and healthy appetizer.

Grape tomatoes 2 pints
Garlic 1 head
Dill 1 bunch
Whole black peppercorns 1 tsp
Salt 2 tbs
Water 2 cups
Jalapeno peppers (optional)
Put tomatoes into a glass, ceramic, or enameled pickling jar that has a tight lid. Peel garlic and cut each clove lengthwise. Add to tomatoes. Add peppercorns. Dissolve salt in boiling water and pour over tomatoes. They should be covered with water. For a spicier taste, throw in some Jalapeno peppers. Put the dill on top of tomatoes, pressing lightly, and close the lid. Put in a warm and sunny place for 2 to 3 days. It may take a day or two longer if it's not very hot and the sun exposure is limited. Once the dill starts turning brownish and the water looks murky, your tomatoes are ready. They should feel soft to the touch but still hold their shape and color. Garlic will turn green, but it is also delicious. Refrigerate immediately before they get overdone. Guess what: all vegetables could be pickled using the same recipe, just make sure not to mix soft and hard vegetables together, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. It takes a little longer for cucumbers, cauliflower or carrots, so give yourself about a week if you plan to serve them at a party. Pickle away!
