- 1 green bell pepper

- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar

BRATS
- 1 package Joe’s House-made Brats

INSTRUCTIONS
-
Make pimento cheese. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to mix well. Depending on how many pimentos you want, you may or may not want to use all of them.
-
Make Green Tomato Chow Chow. Cut tomatoes, green pepper, onion, and jalapeno into chunks and process in a food processor until fairly finely chopped. Transfer to a medium saucepan. Add sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and salt. Heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. (Just cook long enough to dissolve the sugar and distribute the flavors. You want the vegetables to maintain some crunch.)
-
Grill Bratwurst according to package directions.
-
Top brats with either pimento cheese or sauerkraut, Green Tomato Chow Chow, and mustard.
