Name: Pickled Green Tomato Relish
Ingredients: 10 lb Small, hard green tomatoes; 1 1/2 lb Red bell peppers; 1 1/2 lb Green bell peppers; 2 lb Onions; 1/2 c Canning or pickling salt; 1 qt Water; 4 c Sugar; 1 qt Vinegar (5 percent); 1/3 c Prepared yellow mustard; 2 tb Cornstarch; 1,001 - 6,000 ft: 10 min.; Above 6,000 ft: 15 min.

Most people hope to go to heaven when they die. This is not surprising, given the generally acknowledged alternatives (either hell or nothingness). However, it is quite revealing to ask people what they hope to do when they get to heaven. Most people anticipate the joys of this world writ large: golf courses with no sand traps or water hazards, heavenly mansions with no worries about mortgage payments. If they could have all of those things without leaving this planet, they would be more than content. Christians, however, long for heaven because they long to be in the nearer presence of the God whom they love with all their hearts, joining in the unstinted, eternal worship of the Lamb.
