Ingredients

  • 250ml/9fl oz malt vinegar
  • 250ml/9fl oz red wine vinegar
  • 5 tbsp golden caster sugar
  • 3 tbsp sea salt
  • 20 assorted cherry or small tomatoes
  • 4 garlic
  • 2 large sprigs rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tbsp black pepper

Instructions

  • For the pickling liquid, in a pan bring all of the pickling liquid ingredients to the boil and leave to simmer on a low heat.
  • Sterilise both a 1 litre/1¾ pint pickling jar with a screw top lid and the lid in a large pot of boiling water that boils for at least 10 minutes. (Or use several smaller jars with lids.) Lift the jars out of their water bath with a pair of jar tongs. Empty the water.
  • Alternatively they can be sterilised in a dishwasher.
  • For the pickle, quickly fill the jars with the tomatoes, herbs and spices.
  • Using a jug or a funnel pour the hot pickling liquid into the jar, pour it all the way to the top and seal, ensuring as little air as possible remains in the jar.
  • The pickle will keep for up to a year.
  • Keep refrigerated once opened and finish within two weeks.
