This was my grandmother's green tomato relish and I know her mother made it too. My sister and I are getting ready to pass to the fifth generation. We always hope to have a jar left for Thanksgiving. It is good on hamburgers, pot roast etc.
Use an old fashioned hand grinder and grind together the following:
1 dozen red peppers(sweet not hot) 1 dozen green peppers 6 medium sweet onions 4 small hot peppers 2 dozen green tomatoes
Shred and chop finely 1 head of cabbage. Soak it in water for about 10 minutes and drain and sqeeze in dish towel until dry.
Mix all together in a large bowl and add:
1 T. celery seed 1 T. mustard seed 1 tsp uniodized salt 1 quart of white vinegar 2 cups sugar Mix and place in clean jars. We do not process this but eat it within the next month or so. We did "can" it one year but I think it may lose a little texture from the heat.
