Take 1 pk. of small green onions (6 or 8 onions), skin and sprinkle in layers with salt. Let them stand 24 hours and drain them by putting them in a sieve out of the brine, and pouring fresh water over them. Then scald in a strong ginger tea (1 lb. of ginger root slightly bruised to 1 qt. of boiling water). Take 1 oz. ground ginger, 2 tablespoonfuls of black pepper, 2 teaspoonfuls of ground cloves, ¼ lb. of white mustard seed, ½ cup of mustard, 1 oz. allspice, 3 oz. celery seed, and 3 lbs. of good, brown sugar. Put sliced onions and tomatoes in a kettle with the spices and sugar in alternate layers, and pour enough white vinegar to cover well. Cook the pickle until the tomatoes look clear and are tender (about an hour).
