Korean-style Tomatoes
Description
Perfect for winter pantry stock. For this preserve you can use both red and green tomatoes. Red tomatoes should be firm. Red pepper (powder) works here whether sweet or hot. You can make different jars—some sweet, some spicy. Just label them somehow so you don’t mix them up (and don’t serve your mother-in-law the spicy jar, though…). Store in a cool, dark place.

6. Prepare clean jars and spoon the resulting mixture into them. Seal the jars with polyethylene lids and place them in the refrigerator. You can enjoy Korean-style tomatoes as early as the next morning, or keep them in the refrigerator until any holiday. Or perhaps you'll happily eat them without a special occasion, nibbling on bread alongside. This appetizer can also be prepared for New Year's.
