Sugar, Salt & Vinegar Red Tomatoes

Submitted by Montana Heart Song

"I just reviewed a Sugar Glazed Fried Green Tomato recipe on Zaar and it reminded me of a recipe I use constantly during the summer and it is not posted. My mother stated it was Swedish and my father stated it was German or Bavarian. Very simple and the marinating juice can be used in soups, stews or vegetable pies. Note: You can use raw sugar also. These tomatoes can be added to a simple lettuce salad and no dressing is necessary or served separately with juice drained."

These are wonderful and I love that there is no oil at all in these. I had four medium tomatoes so I used 2 cap fulls of vinegar, 1 Tblsp of sugar and just sprinkled on the salt, pepper and dill. These are easy and taste great. These make a really good side dish and as suggested would be great in a salad. Thanks for the recipe.
