Grape leaves were tucked into every jar of pickles back when my mom canned...she said they helped make them crisp. Not sure if that's true, but her pickles were great and we kids always aimed to be the first one to open a new jar so we could unfold that huge concord grape leaf and get at the tiniest cukes at the top of the jar.

I wouldn't have thought to pickle tomatoes but this sounds interesting. Keep us posted!
