I used to make Green Tomato Marmalade for DH's grandma then after she passed his dad. Unfortunately I usually made it when I was pregnant with all day morning sickness so I still can't stomach it. But they loved it! It was flavoured with ginger. Very different.

This is the recipe I've been using. How does it compare with your favorite?
GREEN TOMATO RELISH
24 large green tomatoes
3 red bell peppers, seeded
3 green peppers, seeded
12 large onions
3 T celery seed
3 T mustard seed
1 T salt
5 c white vinegar
2 c cider vinegar
In a food processor, coarsely grind tomatoes, peppers and onions.
Line a large colander with cheesecloth, place it over a large bowl, and
pour in tomato mixture to drain for 1 hour. In a large, non-aluminum
stockpot, combine tomato mixture, seeds, salt, sugar and vinegars.
Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Sterilize jars and lids to hold relish (12 pint jars or 6 quart jars). Pack
relish into jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill to
the top. Screw on lids. Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot
and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into
the pot, using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between jars. Pour in
more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2
inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for
30 minutes. Remove jars from pot and place on a cloth-covered
surface, several inches apart, until cool. When cool, press top of each
lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight.
