This was very very good I doubled it and will be having it all winter thanks for the great recipe -
This is a very good relish. I made it from some discounted tomatoes from the Farmer's Market (too ripe to stay firm--the "use today" type of tomatoes). I added one serrano and one jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced and 3 T cornstarch in a slurry of cold water to spice it up and thicken it a bit respectively. Recommended! -
This is wonderful. I followed the directions the first time except I did put it in a water bath as I just feel better doing that. My husband said that it was the best that he had ever had. We had it on hot dogs and hamburgers the first day. I made another batch the next day and put 1 tsp. of the cayenne pepper in it for my family that likes things hot. Both are great and I do not think that I can ever put enough up so that we will have some until the next tomato crop. Thanks Dotty2 for sharing this great recipe. -
This is great! My family and friends can not get enough! I made 20 pint jars at the end of June, it is now mid-Sept and I have two jars left!

Made this a while ago and just realised I didn't review it. Loved it...Little bit of sweetness, little bit of spice, the peppers stayed a bit crunchy...perfect! Will definitely make some more.

I have just recently retired. I worked in the banking industry for 25 yrs. My husband and I own a cottage and have spent most of this last summer at the lake. We go there in the winter as well. I love to cook and I collect recipes.
