Pickled green tomatoes & peppers relish.

With all the green tomatoes, peppers & pimentos still left over in the vegetable garden we can make a delicious relish.

Chop a few red onions, the green tomatoes & peppers fine; sprinkle some salt on it and drain in a strainer for 3 hours.

Place chopped vegetables and the pimentos in a pot, add cidre vinegar (1/3 of volume) & cane sugar (1/4 of volume) & coriander seeds.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 30 to 35 minutes until thickened.

 

The relish is ready and can be stored in small jars.

 

A delicious pickled sweet & sour side dish which enhances any kind of meal during winter!!!
