Dilled Green Tomato Relish


This recipe was actually a mistake and one that my family loved. We used this many years ago when we needed a relsih for hot dogs. This recipe is different than most green tomato relishes as it is not sweet. I am posting this in response to a request.

Steps


Cut off steam end of green tomatoes.
Coarsely chop green tomatoes , celery and bell peppers in food processor.
Combine the water vinegar and pickling salt and bring to a boil , add the chopped vegetables and return just to a boil.
Drain , reserving the liquid and loosely pack vegetables to 6 pint jars.
To each jar add 1 clove of garlic and 1 teaspoon dill seed.
Return the reserved liquid to a boil and pour over vegetables to within 1 / 2 inch of top of jar.
Remove any air bubbles with clean knife.
Put on cap , screw band firmly tight.
Process in a water bath canner as recommended for your altitude.
Check lids to make sure of good seal.
Allow relish to sit for 4 weeks before using.
