Does anybody have a good green tomato recipe? My husband is thinking salsa, but maybe pickles, also?

Piccalilli is delicious. I use it on beans, peas as a condiment. I don't think beans, corn would taste good as part of ingredients.

Huh. I guess Piccillilli is more of a relish? Hmm. I'll be looking for a salsa recipe, I guess!

Piccallilli is a pretty awesome word. I've got 1 5 gallon bucket of tomatoes hanging out right now. I'll have to cut this recipe in half, probably, but it could work! I may add some corn and beans. Do you think that would work well?

Your welcome Tammy! The Piccalilli is really good. Be prepared if you make it, I was lucky enough to have a couple of water bath canners. One was used to cook the piccallili in :)

Hey Tammy,
Here are some:
Piccalilli
15 pounds Green Tomatoes, chopped (about 75 medium)
3 pounds Onions, chopped
3 Red Bell Peppers, seeded and chopped
1 cup Salt
1 bunch Celery, chopped
1 quart Apple Cider Vinegar
1 1/2 ounces Pickling Spice (in cheesecloth or muslin bag)
5 cups Sugar
Place tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers in a large kettle (I used my water bath canner). Pour salt on top and let stand covered 8 hours or overnight.
Drain and rinse vegetables. Add celery, vinegar, pickling spices and sugar. Mix well. Cook on medium heat stirring frequently for 45 minutes. Remove spice packet. Can :)
Yield: About 13 pints
Pickling Spice
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
2 tablespoons whole allspice
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons dill seeds
2 teaspoons Whole black peppercorns
2 bay leaves (crumbled)
2 dried red chilies (2 inches long, crumbled)
Mix all ingredients and store in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place.
Here's what I did:
I measured out the amount I would need for a batch of Piccalilli. I used these resealable Tea bags (Large Press & Brew) from Mountain Rose Herbs:
http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/tea_tool/infusers.html
I now have my Pickling Spices stored in these bags in a canning jar, ready for my next use :)
****************************
Green Tomato Chutney
Four cups peeled and chopped tomatoes
Two-third cup chopped onion
One-quarter cup yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
One small garlic clove, minced
One cup packed light brown sugar
Two-third cup cider vinegar
Two Tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
One teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
One Tablespoon mustard seed
One-quarter teaspoon ground turmeric
One and one-half teaspoons grated lemon zest
One cup golden raisins
Place all ingredients in a large, nonreactive pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is very thick, 1- ½ to 2 hours. Let cool slightly. Ladle into hot sterilized half-pint jars and seal. Yield: 1-½ pints.
***************************
Green Tomato Marmalade
4 lbs green tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped ginger
6 cups sugar
5 lemons
1/2 cup water
Chop tomatoes, add grated rind and juice of lemons, ginger and water. Simmer 1 hour stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add sugar. Simmer until sugar is dissolved and then boil rapidly until consistency of jam (about 25 min) pour into jars and seal. I'm sorry I don't remember how much the yield is, I haven't made it in awhile.
