norma's hot dog & hamburger relish
I started making this back when I first got married. Times were hard and money was tight down in Southern Ohio back then. Now that I'm living in PA, I couldn't find green tomatoes anywhere. I'm growing some tomato plants but not getting much off of them so I went to a local farmer and asked him if he would sell me some green tomatoes and sure enough that sweet farmer did so here is the results of my finding green tomatoes for this recipe that I surely don't remember where I got back then. But think it was at our local county fair. Just know my family and friends love it.

How To Make norma's hot dog & hamburger relish
-
1Chop finely the tomatoes, onions, and peppers.
-
2Place in a wire strainer to drain the extra liquid from the tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
-
3Place everything into a large stainless steel pot. Using any other type of pot might stain it from the acid from the tomatoes. I have also used a roaster pan when I didn't have stainless steel.
-
4Add sugar, mustard seed, celery seed, and vinegar. Stir well.
-
5Place on the stove with the burner on med-high heat. Bring all to a boil. Remove from heat. Add turmeric and stir once again.
-
6Place in sterilized pint jars leaving 1/2 inch from the top of the jar. Wipe dry the edge of the opening with a clean cloth.
-
7Place lid and band on jar and twist tight. Continue filling other jars and repeat as above. No need to process; they will seal themselves.
-
8One batch makes 7 to 8 pint jars of relish.
