If you are looking for a great recipe for green tomatoes and other garden vegetables, at the end of the garden season, may I suggest trying green tomato relish? As you can tell we use just about every leftover vegetable possible It really pays to make this well in advance as piccalilli tastes best when left for a month or so as it gives all those delicious flavors time to really bed down with each other and the result will be deeper, more satisfying flavors. If you’re anything like me this won’t last long but if you’re more restrained you should find this keeps for up to 9 month
