PEPPER RELISH (Green Pepper ‘Mangoes’)
I was Goggling for explanations for use of Mango for Pepper. I had just found my mother’s ‘lost’ recipe for Pepper Relish and brought it into work to share. My co-workers were surprised at the use of Mango for pepper.
This relish is the best hot dog and hamburger relish I have ever tasted. I hope to make some at end of summer when peppers and onions are abundant at the vegetable stands. Here’s what was on her torn and tattered paper:
Pepper Relish
• 1 doz green mangues [sic]

Add
