Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Living on the coast we often had lots of green tomatoes at the end of the growing season so Grandma used to make this a lot. It pairs well with moose and deer roasts (arg!) and I used to eat just the relish!

I misplaced the recipe for about 30 years and am so glad I found it again.
