Green Tomato Relish Recipe

Recipes for Change - This recipe for Green Tomato Relish was taught in a workshop recently by Jim and Ann Zimmerman,board members and cooks with the Manistee Community Kitchen. With plenty of green tomatoes still available during this warm fall, you can cook this up and and enjoy fresh relish all winter long.

This yields 23 pints - - you may want to cut it in half - - or share with a friend or someone in need.
