You might be right Mark, about the San Marzanos. And the cumin and ginger.
It's a LOT of ginger, and also a lot of rice vinegar.

I'd probably leave out the Cumin and ginger, though I'd be tempted to try
them
the first time just to give it a shot. On the other hand, I don't really
like
the texture you get from pickling fresh tomatoes, too mushy and watery.
I've
found instead that using canned Italian San Marzano tomatoes really seems to
help. They have a thicker flesh and less seeds and pulp They're great in
salsa too). This will change the character of the resulting product, but to
me this is a good thing...
