We added pearl onions and a couple of strips of yellow hot pepper to a basic dilled tomato pickle recipe. Here's the mis en place of the spices and onions to go in each jar:

No pictures of the actual canning process, we were way too busy stuffing jars, pouring the hot pickling liquid over the fruit and then getting the jars closed and into the canner to take any photos. It was an interesting process and, with any luck, a tasty result and a good way to take advantage of some garden excess.

Good call. I might need to follow yr lead b/c the PNW tomato crop, specifically the one in our back yard, was a complete dud this year. THanks for the inspiration.
Thanks, finspot!
We had a really strange year for tomatoes, too, but the cherries came on strong at the end. I'm really not looking forward to running out here in a week or so.
Well, ya had me going for awhile, till I looked at the enlarged photo; I thought you meant actual cherries! Sheeshhhhhhhhh
Looks like you had a lovely crop of cherry tomatoes, and what a cool way to save ‘em for later! Between you and the guy over at http://theslowcook.blogspot.com/ (he LOVES pickled things)…I may have to start canning again!
Thanks for sharing…I do hope you let us know how they turned out.
