FRESH TOMATO RELISH

Fresh Tomato Relish image

My two grown sons actually eat this as a salad, but that's a bit too hot for me! The recipe's from my late husband's mother, and I haven't varied it over the years. I usually make a batch as soon as the first tomatoes of the season are ready. -Lela Baskins, Windsor, Missouri
