Green Tomato Relish
Note: Cheryl's mom learned this recipe in the Home Economics program at Fairmont
State College in the late '60s. It's the "secret" ingredient in our creamy potato salad.
3 quarts green tomatoes, cored
3 red or green bell peppers, seeded
2 hot peppers (optional), seeded
1 quart onions
6 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons turmeric
3 tablespoons mustard seed
3 tablespoons celery seed
1 quart cider vinegar
Grind tomatoes, peppers and onions. Place in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over
mixture. Let sit 5 minutes. Drain well, then squeeze excess water out in cheesecloth.
Place mixture in heavy stockpot. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and
simmer 20 minutes.
Pack in hot pint jars, seal. Process in boiling water bath 10 minutes. Makes 6-7 pints.
Store in a dark, cool place.
