Well, my southern family used to yearly can a large amount of "chow-chow," which was some sort of green tomatoes relish. I have no idea today what it tastes like, as I was too unwilling to taste it as a child, and now no one in the family makes it any more. I imagine there would be chow-chow recipes online or in older cook books. Probably there is one in Joy of Cooking, for example
I caught a glimpse of TV news coverage of a local fair that features locally made goods. There was a booth that was selling something they called "cha-cha," and to my eye, it looked like what my family called chow-chow. That would be an alternative way to look for recipes for the relish.
