I kind of winged it from several recipes.
It is really good, but I actually like mine kind of hot and the dried chiles didn't really do it. Maybe after it stands in the jars the whole peppers will make it a little hotter. Next time I'll grind some jalapenos in with the rest of the veggies.
I put through the coarse blade of my kitchenaid grinder attachmen approximately:
1 head cabbage
2 lbs green tomatoes
2 lbs tomatillos
4 big green peppers
5 large onions
1 stalk of celery and some leaves
Added 1/4 cup canning salt and let stand about 6 hours. Drained well. Added about 3 cups each of vinegar & sugar, about a tbsp each of mustard seeds & turmeric and some of the dried red japanese chiles. I cooked it until it smelled & tasted like I remembered and it wasn't too soupy- probably about 30 minutes. Put in hot jars and processed in hot water bath for ten minutes.

I also made old fashioned red pepper relish & it is easier & beautiful.
All it is is minced (food processor) red peppers, onions (and some hot peppers if desired) cooked down with vinegar & sugar & salt. My mom likes it so I made some for her birthday.

No. I'd wondered earlier if they would sub and someone here found a recipe that used them.
They taste so similar and I was having such a hard time finding green tomatoes - the few I found were at an organic garden and cost 3.50 a pound. I was not going to pay that much for four or five pounds of them.
