Green Tomato & Red Pepper Relish

The theme for Monday posts in August is Something Else.

It’s not salads or sides or grilling or smoking.

I’m not highlighting a favorite vegetable or other food.

These recipes are just going to be the odd things I make – because.

Like this Relish.

One of my tomato plants collapsed because there were too many big green tomatoes weighing it down.

I rescued the plant and cut off some of the tomatoes so the branches weren’t so heavy.

Then I had to do something with all the big green tomatoes.

We love this. I’ll make it again without waiting for a disaster.

This reminds me of the hot dog relish I had as a child. Goes great on burgers, too.
