I made this dish last summer. It was delicious!

Fire and Ice Tomatoes

6 large, ripe red tomatoes

1 yellow onion

1 green pepper

3/4 cup white wine vinegar

1/4 cup cold water

1-1/2 tsp sugar

1-1/2 tsp mustard seeds

1-1/2 tsp celery salt

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1/8 tsp black pepper

Cut each tomato into 8 wedges and place in a 9x13 glass or ceramic dish. Finely dice the onion and sprinkle over the tomatoes. Core, seed and remove the ribs of the green pepper. Cut in thin strips...if the pepper is long, cut the strips in half. Scatter over the tomatoes and onion.

Combine in a saucepan the vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seeds, celery salt, salt and peppers. Bring to a boil, stirring , boil for 1 minute. Immediately pour the hot vinegar mixture over tomatoes. Stir gently to combine.

Leave the tomatoes to cool slightly and then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Leave to marinate for several hours...stir occasionally.
