and put in jars. For each pint jar, put in a teaspoon of dill seeds, 3 or
4 cloves of garlic and 8 to 10 peppercorns. Tuck a grape leaf into each
jar, over tomatoes.

sterilized jars up to shoulder (line). Seal immediately with sterile lid.
To sterilize jars, put jars in pan of water upside down. Boil water and
