Green Apple Relish

Green apple aka granny smith is one of my favourite apple,this apples might be very tart, bright in appearance and crisp while biting. Best for peoples who like tart apples rather than the sweet ones.These apples are certainly tasty and very juicy with many more medicinal values. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, quote reminds me always the juicy red apples but these tart green apples too have more health benefits like the red ones.

We get apples from September to March here, but between october and december its a peak season for granny smith.Mostly i'll prepare this apples as salads,soups or i'll have these apples simply with salt and chilly powder for snacks. After a long hesitation, finally i tried my hands in making an instant,mildly tangy and delicious green apple relish. You can have this relish with rice, idlies,dosas or else just as a spread with bread slices.This instant green apple relish stays prefect for two days in room temperature and for more than 10days in fridge. If you get abundantly green apples dont forget to make some,am sure you will definitely love this delicious relish.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#27.
