Green Tomato Relish

Don't know about some of you but our garden is pretty well dried up now. Here is a great recipe for using up the green tomatoes that you have left on the vines.

Ingredients

  • 2 gallons (or) 16 cups green tomatoes, cut in pieces
  • 1 qt. (or) 4 cups Onions, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 gallon (or) 4 cups white vinegar
  • 6 cups sugar
  • 1 cup salt

Directions

Mix all together. Bring to a boil in a large pot. Fill canning jars, seal. Put into a water bath. Do not overcook.

Source: this is the recipe that I had asked for and want to thank all that answered. I came to find out this is the one I was looking for and my neighbor happened to have it. This is like you get at Cat Fish King. Hope everyone likes it as much as we do.

I'm confused about the gallons or cups, the ratio doesn't seem the same.

  • vegetables
  • 2 quarts(about 3 1/4 pounds) green tomatoes
  • 4 large onions
  • 6 bell peppers(green,yellow or red)
Chop vegetables fine, by hand or in the blender with water. Drain very well
  • brine
  • 2 cups vinegar(white or cider)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 Tbsp celery seed
  • 1 Tbsp mustard seed
  • 1 Tbsp turmeric
  • 1 Tbsp salt
Can substitute 2-3 Tbsp pickling spices (in a tea ball or cheesecloth bag if you do't want them in relish)

Mix brine, and bring to boil in large saucepan. Add vegetables, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Let cool, and put in sterile jars or refrigerator containers (put containers through the dishwasher with no detergent to sterilize) Refrigerate.

Will keep in the refrigerator for about 9 months.

Recipe can be halved if it makes too much for you to use.

I just opened my last container of relish that was made in November 2006 when we got our first freeze, and it is as good as ever. (06/04/2007)

Just cut up about 15 or 20 green tomatos , about 3 or 4 bellpeppers, about 6 lg. white onions, about 10 cucumbers and mix all together, pack into warm jars, meanwhile take one pkg. of Mrs. Wages or Ball bread and butter pickle mix and prepare in a pot, bring to a boil, then fill the jars and leava about 1/4 in. from top, put the lids and rings on and give a water bath of about 20 mins. in a canner. This is similiar to the one at most of the Catfish restaurants. (06/04/2007)
