Green Tomato Relish

Green Tomato Relish

I first had this relish back in the mid 80's when I had a ranch in Saskatchewan, it is just fantastic. Goes great with, sausage, pork and chicken. It takes a bit of work, but it is not really that hard to make.

Ingredients are as follows:

• 6 cups of shredded cucumber
• 4 cups of shredded green tomatoes
• 4 cups of shredded carrots
• 3 cups of shredded onions
• 1 liter of white sugar
• 875 ml of white vinegar
• 2 tbs of pickling spices tied in cheesecloth
• 1 tbs of pickling salt
• 1 tsp of white pepper
• ½ - ¾ cup of cornstarch

Boil all the ingredients except the cornstarch for about 10 minutes, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of water then stir it in to the relish and bring to a boil. At this time you can discard the pickling spice. Once you have the desired consistency, pour into sterilized jars and seal.

Cheers,

Anders
