How to Make Green Tomato Relish

  1. Wash and chop 2 pounds of green tomatoes into small 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 red bell pepper (1 cup, diced), 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced, optional), 1 cup of white vinegar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup salt, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard seeds, and 1 teaspoon of celery seeds.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the relish has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat and let the relish cool completely. This allows the flavors to meld.
  7. Once cooled, transfer the relish to sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator. Your homemade Green Tomato Relish will last for several weeks.
