Recipe Summary Fruity Tamale Relish

I found this recipe in the newspaper 25 years ago, and modified it to suit my family's tastes. I make it every year when the ripe tomatoes and fruit come in. My family loves it with both roast beef and as a condiment with tamales. You can vary the amount and types of fruit. I have sometimes added chopped plums.

Ingredients | Bicks Cucumber Relish

8 large medium-ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped into 3/4 inch chunks

2 cups chopped firm apples

1 ½ cups chopped peeled fresh peaches

1 ½ cups chopped peeled pears

1 ½ cups finely chopped onion

1 cup finely chopped celery

3 tablespoons whole pickling spices

2 ½ cups lightly packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons pickling salt

1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar

Directions

Place the tomatoes, apples, peaches, pears, onion, and celery into a heavy pot. Stir in the pickling spices, brown sugar, pickling salt, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, while continuing to stir. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until thick, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, or about 45 minutes.

Pour the fruit relish into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Adjust caps. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water bath. Cool jars, and store in a cool, dry place.
