I probably should have asked what kind of apples are usually included in a recipe like this, but I didn't! Used some tart Pippin green apples & that seemed to work just fine! Followed your recipe right on down including the smoked bacon, although I was tempted to cut things short by using bacon bits! Absolutely delicious relish which was served over baked pork chops! Certainly a keeper of a recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
