INSTRUCTIONS
Slice tomatoes into 6 wedges each. Reserve in a large bowl with scallions
and serrano chiles.
In a saucepan bring vinegar to a boil. Add sugar and salt, and cook until
dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and reserve.
Measure ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cracked peppercorns, cumin, cayenne,
and turmeric onto a plate and place near stove. In another saucepan heat
oil until smoking. Add spices and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon, until aromas are released, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and
stir in vinegar mixture. Immediately pour over reserved vegetables. Mix
well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate a minimum of 3 days.

A Message from our Provider:
“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
