We are still eating pickles from last year, so we haven't gone hog-wild with the pickling this year. But since we had some jalapenos to pickle, we decided to put up a couple jars of green tomatoes, too.

It's nice to have pickled green cherry tomatoes around when you want to make some fancy schmancy hors d'oeuvres, or when you feel like a saltine and a pickled green cherry tomato.
