This is a great recipe! I've made it several times and it's always turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more sugar. Other than that, it's a perfect recipe.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of green tomatoes. But I'm so glad I did! This is one of the best recipes I've ever made. It's so easy to make and it tastes amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
