How to Make Green Tomato Hot Dog Relish

  1. Wash and chop 2 pounds of green tomatoes into 1/2-inch dice.
  2. Finely chop 1 large onion (about 1 cup).
  3. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  4. In a large saucepan, combine the diced green tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon of celery seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Uncover the saucepan and continue to simmer for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the relish has thickened slightly. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The relish will thicken further as it cools.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
