Alton Brown rarely lets me down, also him being from Georgia, I would look to see if he has one.
I love watching Alton but my wife can’t stand the way he delivers his instructions. Something about voice cadence, intonation etc…
Dr_Pain Yeah over the years he has gotten a little more strange with his delivery, but the way he breaks down everything is what keeps me interested.

HerbcoFood I liked him better in his show and not so much as a commentator in Iron Chef

Green Tomato Relish
AKA (Chow Chow)Ingredients:
12 large green Tomatoes (cored) (I used about 20 small to med size)
4 - green bell peppers, seeded4 - medium or 1 extra large yellow onions
1 - red bell pepper, seeded
1 - tablespoon + 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seed
1 - tablespoon celery seed
2 - cups cider vinegar
2 - cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons kosher saltDirections:
Chop the tomatoes and peppers very finely. Either by hand or in small batches in a food processor. I diced up all my veggies only because I like a chunkier relish.Add the chopped vegetables in a large pot (heavy bottom non reactive pot) add the mustard seed, celery seed, vinegar, kosher salt and sugar.
Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook stirring often and skimming as needed. ( I did not have to skim off anything)
Simmer until the relish/chow chow cooks down and thickens into a relish, about 2 hours. Turn into hot sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath.
Recipe Yields: 5 1/2 pints
