After posting Sherrie’s soup I decided that November will be the month of Facebook followers recipes. I have so many great recipes that come through my page that I think it’s time for some of these amazing people who work on making these recipes have a post in their names!

I love this relish because there is a very special flavor that is different from a red tomato and give this almost a green salsa flavor without the bitter tomatillo taste.

Thank you Angela for your fantastic twist on this great classic and for your hard work to put up some for photographing for this post. This recipe is truly inspirational!

From Angela: “Zippy, zesty, slightly sweet with a touch of zingy tartness…perfect for grilled meats, as a salsa and in potato salad.”

Green Tomato and Jalapeno Relish

Angela did a great combination of end of season green tomatoes and vibrant jalapenos to produce a relish that will knock your socks off.
