Green Tomato Pickle Relish is a delicious condiment
This recipe is a great use for green tomatoes of any kind. Tomatoes can be diced for a fine relish, or cut in chunks or sliced to make a tomato pickle. I like both and I usually make a batch of each. Spice level can be adjusted by the use of hot peppers, or none.This is a wonderfully easy and delicious recipe. Perfect for new cooks who might be wary of the home canning process (easy instructions here on the Bernardin website)or for those more experienced and looking to use up some of the tomatoes that remain green into our Canadian autumn.

Eatin’s Canada is a strong supporter of safe canning practices. We firmly suggest that you water bath your pickles as described in the Bernardin link above. If they are not water bathed, you should treat them as if they are opened, and refrigerate them.

I have made this recipe 3 times so far and love it for my family but have enjoyed sharing it with friends!! So easy!!
Thank you!
Can you boiling water bath this recipe to can?
Yes, in fact you should do so.
I made 10 pints today this recipe has great flavor I can’t wait to try it on a sandwich, sausage, or hotdogs and many more foods. I do have a question do I put them in the fridge once they cool or on a shelf. I did not boil the jars after they were filled.
If you have not waterbathed your pickles, they should be treated like fresh food and refrigerated.
Do you leave the tomatoes and salt on the counter overnight or do you refrigerate it?
I would refrigerate.
Thank you
