GREEN TOMATO RELISH - from Bev and Bob Dudley

6 Onions ( I use good size cooking onions )

20 green tomatoes ( not real big ones )

4 sweet green peppers

3 ½ cups sugar (less if you do not want real sweet )

2 cups vinegar

2 tablespoons salt

Finely chop or grate onions, green tomatoes, peppers

Combine onions ,tomatoes, peppers in a large pot and cover with boiling water.

Let stand for 20 minutes , then drain off water.

Combine every thing else in the pot and let simmer for 1 hour. Place in sterile jars and let cool.

You may put in boiling water bath for 5 minutes but the high vinegar content will prevent bacteria or mold problems.

I have made this mixture and it is really good on hot dogs and homburgs. The secret is the amount of sugar on how sweet you like it.
