Description

This vibrant green tomato relish offers a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, making it an ideal condiment for grilled meats, cheeses, or sandwiches. The firm texture of unripe tomatoes holds up beautifully during cooking, providing a pleasant crunch against the soft onions. Infused with warm cinnamon and a generous amount of brown sugar, this relish delivers complex aromatics that elevate any meal. It is an excellent way to preserve the bounty of green tomatoes before the first frost. The bright acidity from vinegar cuts through rich dishes, while the subtle spice adds depth. Perfect for potlucks, holiday tables, or as a gift for fellow food lovers, this homemade preserve captures the essence of home-style cooking with every spoonful.

Ingredients

  1. Slice the green tomatoes and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle with 1 cup of salt and toss to coat evenly.

  4. Drain the liquid from the tomatoes and rinse them thoroughly.
  5. Place the rinsed tomatoes in a pot of water and bring to a boil.
  6. Boil for a few minutes, then drain again to remove excess salt.
  7. Peel and slice the 6 large onions.
  8. Combine the tomatoes and onions in a large heavy-bottomed pot.
  9. Pour enough vinegar over the mixture to completely cover the vegetables.
  10. Add 4 pounds of brown sugar and 1 stick of cinnamon to the pot.
  11. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer.
  12. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the relish thickens.
  13. Ladle the hot relish into sterilized jars for canning or storage.
