Ingredients

  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar*
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 pounds tomatoes, washed, dried, seeded, diced (approx. 3½ cups once cut)
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeños (about 1 large pepper), washed, dried, seeded
  • ¼ cup finely chopped green onions, white and green portions (about 3 onions)
  • tablespoons minced garlic
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Make pickling juice/marinade. Add the vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, cumin and crushed red pepper to a small saucepan. Stir with a whisk, and heat only until the sugar and salt have dissolved, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
  • Prep tomato mixture. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the tomatoes with the jalapeños, green onions, and garlic.
  • Combine. Once the vinegar mixture is no longer hot, pour it over the tomato mixture in the bowl. Add the oil and stir to combine.
  • Marinate. Refrigerate in an airtight container for at least 2 hours and up to several days.

Notes

* If the tomatoes you're using are particularly sweet, only us 1 tablespoon. If they're not very sweet, use both.
