GREEN TOMATO RELISH - MOM'S BEST (PICCALILLI)



Green Tomato Relish - Mom's Best (Piccalilli) image

My mother's house was the only place I could find a jar handy of this tastefully different relish. Once you try it you might wonder why this stuff isn't marketed? Its not your everyday flavor and sits especially well upon bar-b-qued brats, burgers, or hot dogs. In my opinion chicken salad is much better tasting with this...

PICCALILLI OR GREEN TOMATO RELISH

With the heat this summer our tomato plants quit producing anything, but we left them to grow anyway. Well, when the weather broke, they started blooming like idiots and setting tomatoes like crazy. Unfortunately, it was too late in the season for them to develop and ripen before getting frozen. So here is our tomato crop for the...

Time 4h55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 qt cored and chopped green tomatoes (about 32 medium)
2 qt chopped cabbage (1 lg head)
2 c chopped green peppers
1 c chopped onions
3 medium chopped carrots
1/2 c canning salt
1 1/2 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp mustard seed
1 Tbsp celery seed
1 Tbsp prepared horseradish
4 1/2 c white vinegar
AFTER LETTING THIS SIT FOR A WHILE, WHEN I OPENED THE FIRST JAR, I FOUND IT WAS A BIT TOO TART/VINEGARY, SO I BELIEVE NEXT YEAR I WILL CUT THE VINEGAR BY 1/2 C AND UP THE BROWN SUGAR BY 1/2 C. THIS MAY GIVE IT A LESS SHARP FLAVOR.

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare all the veggies by washing, coring, deseeding and chopping in the food processor to small chunks but not pureed. Place all veggies in a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Mix thoroughly and let stand for 3 to 4 hours.
  • 2. Drain veggies, rinse and drain again thoroughly. Combine sugar, vinegar, horseradish and spices in a large saucepot. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add drained veggies and bring to a boil.
  • 3. Pack relish into sterilized hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust two piece lids.
  • 4. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. Remove jars to cloth lined countertop, cover with towel, and leave until all are sealed.

PICCALILLI

I loved this as a child, a great aunt made it. When I married and had my own garden I came across this recipe in a 1972 paperback Fanny Farmer Cookbook, that's all I could afford for cook books as a young couple. The recipe tastes exactly as I remembered as a child. And it is a great way to use up those green tomatoes left on the plants when the frost hits. Great on hamburgers and hot dogs. Or just as a change from pickles.

PICCALILLI (GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY)



Piccalilli (Green Tomato Chutney) image

I needed something to use up my green tomatoes. I found this recipe in Keeping the Harvest by Nancy Chioffi and Cretchen Mead. I modified the spices to suit my tastes (used heaping teaspoons). This makes an excellent meatloaf when combined (1/2 pt) with 1 lb ground turkey, 1 egg and 2 crushed matzos (topped with 1/4 cup of ketchup mixed with 2 Tbsp brown sugar and 1/2 tsp cumin). Also good on hamburgers (mixed with ketchup) and hotdogs. I hand chopped the veggies because I wanted to give this as gifts, and I like the uniformity of the pieces, but using a food processor would take a fraction of the time.

Time 1h

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups apple cider vinegar
3 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 tablespoon dried basil
6 cups seeded and finely chopped green tomatoes
2 cups finely chopped red bell peppers
2 cups finely chopped red onion
2 cups finely chopped Granny Smith apples
8 4-ounce canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seed, and basil in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir green tomatoes, red bell peppers, red onion, and Granny Smith apples into vinegar mixture; boil vigorously, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened and relish flavors have blended, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
