If you have lots of green tomatoes and peppers left on the vine and the weatherman says the first freeze is coming, this is a recipe that will make good use of the end of the crop. It's sweet and spicy and, oh, so good! The perfect relish for hot dogs or to accompany beans and cornbread. The heat level is up to you and your peppers.
