"This is a spicy, tangy relish that goes great with pot roast, roast pork, just about any meat. It was given to me by a co-worker years ago."

ingredients

1 lemon, seeded & chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
5 cups green tomatoes, peeled & chopped
2 ¹⁄₄ cups brown sugar
1 ¹⁄₂ cups raisins
3 ounces candied ginger, chopped
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon cayenne
2 cups cider vinegar
2 red peppers, seeded & chopped

directions

Combine all in a large pot.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the tomatoes a tender.
Time will vary due to the firmness of the tomatoes.
Should take about 1 hour.
Pack into hot, sterile jars and seal.
Let cool completely (I have never found it necessary to use boiling water bath, but feel free to if you feel safe--10 minutes should do it for pint and 6 oz jars).
If apples are plentiful, they can replace the tomatoes--just as good that way.

Flavor is superb! I recommend using less vinegar, though. I like my chutney thicker.

Loved it! Green tomatoes are the bomb! I reduced the amount of raisins, and increased the "hot" by using prepared red pepper-garlic mix. It was also a very "pretty" canned product. Thanks, Bloomers.
