Green chopped tomato Relish Recipe
This excellent chopped tomato recipe is a favorite of mine. chopped tomato is a green tomato relish with a spicy mustard base and it is excellent on burgers, hot dogs, pork, sausages and even black eyed peas.

chopped tomato is usually created from diced green tomatoes, cabbage, onions, hot peppers, mustard seed, vinegar, and peppers. Other optional ingredients include celery, cucumbers, beans, or cauliflower. chopped tomato relish does not have a strict list of ingredients, so if you want, you can even add in radishes, corn, or red tomatoes if the sight of green tomatoes doesn't appeal to you.

The word "relish" hails from the word "reles" meaning "something remaining" in Traditional French, which surely complements this kind of course. Regardless of where green tomato relish has come from, at least one thing is for sure: it has been in the Southern U.S. for more than 200 years.


The following chow chow meal can make half dozen pints. List of ingredients:


nine lbs of green tomatoes
6 lbs . of yellow or white onions, peeled and finely diced
6 cups of water
1 cup of salt
four cups of white wine vinegar
4 tbsps of pickling seasonings
2 1/2 pounds light brown sugar
2 1/2 lbs . white sugar
1/2 cup of cornstarch
one teaspoon turmeric
two teaspoons of dry mustard
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely minced


Directions:


Get your diced green tomatoes together with the onions in a very, very big bowl and add four cups of the water plus all of the salt. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least eight hrs, although twelve hrs is much better, covered up inside of the fridge.

The next morning, drain the tomatoes well inside a colander and after which you'll set the tomatoes and onions inside a big boiling pot with the vinegar, two cups of water and pickling spice.


Bring to a boil on high temperature after which minimize temperature to low and simmer for a half hour. Add all the white and brown sugar and allow to simmer for another 30 minutes.

In another bowl, stir the cornstarch, mustard and tumeric and sprinkle into the pot. Add in the diced red bell pepper and garlic cloves and simmer for an additional 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until thick. Let cool to room temperature and then store the relish in air tight containers up to six months in the fridge.
