Grandma Reaves Tomato Relish

Here come the tomatoes...

My parents found Grandma Reaves tomato relish recipe and sent it to me, I decided to give it a try. I remember seeing my grandpa put this over peas and cornbread.

Tomato Relish

1 peck (we figured out this is 2 gallons) of ripe tomatoes

5 large onions

4 or 5 hot green peppers

1 Tbsp salt

2 1/2 cups sugar

3 cups vinegar

black pepper to taste

Scald and peel tomatoes, mash them up, and drain off most of the water. Grind up pepper and onions; mix all ingredients and cook slowly for about an hour, or until done.

Put in pint jars (this makes 7 pints) and is delicious on vegetables.
