Recipes, please. That relish looks extremely good. And, I do love Bread & Butter pickles and make fresh ones each year. But, I had never thought about using peppers. Can you describe the taste?? Is it like pickles or different??

All,

I used the recipe on the pickling package for the bread and butter peppers.

Here is the recipe I used for the green tomato relish. I got this off the internet, sorry I don't remember which site. I use this just like any other relish ie. hot dogs, chile side dish etc.

Hope everyone enjoys.

Green Tomato Relish aka Chow Chow

12 large green Tomatoes (cored)
(I used about 20 small to med size)
4 - green bell peppers, seeded
4 - medium yellow onions (I used one very large one)
1 - red bell pepper, seeded
1 - tablespoon + 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seed
1 - tablespoon celery seed

2 - clove of garlic
2 - cups cider vinegar
2 - cups light brown sugar
1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Chop the tomatoes and peppers very finely. Either by hand or in small batches in a food processor. I diced up all my veggies only because I like a chunkier relish. Put the chopped vegetables in a large pot (heavy bottom non reactive pot) add the mustard seed, celery seed, vinegar, kosher salt and sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook stirring often and skimming as needed. ( I did not have to skim off anything) Simmer until the relish/chow chow cooks down and thickens into a relish, about 2 hours. Turn into hot sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath.
