Another variation that I have used.

Relish - Green Tomato

4 pounds green tomato

3 tablespoons kosher salt

1/2 cup red bell pepper (or more, to taste)

1 cup vinegar

1 1/3 teaspoons allspice, whole

1 1/3 teaspoons celery seed

1 1/3 teaspoons dry mustard

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/3 teaspoons white pepper, whole

1 1/3 teaspoons cloves, whole

1 1/3 teaspoons mustard seeds

2 onions, medium

3 slices lemon, thin

Chop or grind the tomatoes, onions, and peppers. Combine the tomatoes and onions in a large bowl and mix with the salt. Let stand overnight.

In the morning drain thoroughly. Put the tomatoes and onions in a large kettle and add the lemon slices, bell pepper, sugar, vinegar, and the spices and mustard tied in a bag. Bring to a boil and cook for about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Discard the spice bag and turn the relish into sterilized jars. Seal at once.

Put into boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Hi Mule
I just made this relish and love it. A few changes from her original

Farmgirl Susan's No Sugar Green Tomato Relish

Makes about 3 pints

Recipe may be doubled; increase cooking time by 10-15 minutes

2 lb. green tomatoes, cored and chopped (I didn't core them)
1 lb. white or yellow onions, chopped
3/4 lb. sweet red peppers, cored and chopped
1/2 lb. tart cooking apples, such as Granny Smith, cored and chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped (I used 18 cloves)
1 cup 5% acidic organic raw apple cider vinegar (or less, see note below)*
1 Tablespoon kosher or sea salt
4 jalapeno peppers, cored, seeded if desired, and finely chopped
2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro (No cilantro--hate it)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

Combine the tomatoes, onions, peppers, apples, garlic, vinegar, and salt in a large, nonreactive pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about an hour.

Stir in the jalapenos, cilantro, and cumin and simmer for 5 more minutes. Carefully purée the mixture using a stick immersion blender (I can't say enough good things about my KitchenAid hand blender; it's one of the best things I've bought for the kitchen) or in a traditional counter top blender, in batches if necessary, until still somewhat chunky. Don't over mix; you don't want it smooth.

If canning, return the puréed relish to a boil, then ladle the hot mixture into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Process 15 minutes in a waterbath canner. Store in a cool, dark place.
