Tips:

For best results, use firm, slightly underripe green tomatoes. Overripe tomatoes will result in a relish that is too soft and mushy.
To easily remove the skins from the tomatoes, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins will slip right off.
If you don't have time to blanch the tomatoes, you can also peel them with a vegetable peeler.
For a spicier relish, add more chili peppers. For a milder relish, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping them.
Add sugar to taste. Some people prefer a sweet relish, while others prefer a more tart relish.
Store the relish in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Green tomato relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, and more. It's also a great way to use up extra green tomatoes from your garden.
