Prepare the Pickling Mixture: In a small pan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. This will infuse the liquid with delightful flavors.
-
Prepare the Tomatoes: While the pickling mixture simmers, prepare the green tomatoes by cutting them into wedges. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook the tomato wedges in the boiling water for 1 minute.
-
Cool and Drain: After boiling, drain the tomatoes and rinse them under cold water. This step helps retain their vibrant color and crispness.
-
Pack the Jars: Take 3 hot, clean, dry 1/2 pint jars and divide the tomato wedges evenly among them.
-
Add Flavor: To each jar, add 1 teaspoon of dill seed and 1-2 serrano peppers, depending on your preference for heat.
-
Pour the Pickling Mixture: Carefully pour the prepared pickling mixture over the tomatoes in each jar, ensuring to leave about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.

Seal and Refrigerate: Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate them overnight to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
