Tangy green tomato and bell pepper relish - sweet and versatile.
Ingredients:
  • 12 large green tomatoes, cut into large chunks
  • 6 large green bell peppers, cut into large chunks
  • 6 large red bell peppers, cut into large chunks
  • 10 large onions, cut into large chunks
  • 4 cups boiling water, or as needed
  • 4 cups vinegar
  • 5 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 (8 ounce) jar mustard
  • 6 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, pulse green tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions until coarsely chopped. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and pour boiling water over it, then drain. Move the vegetables to a large pot and stir in vinegar, sugar, salt, turmeric, and mustard. Bring to a boil and cook until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Boil jars, lids, and rings for a minimum of 5 minutes to sterilize. Fill hot, sterilized jars with relish, leaving a 1/4-inch space at the top. Remove air bubbles by running a knife or spatula along the inside of the jars. Clean rims with a damp paper towel to ensure no food residue. Seal with lids and screw on rings.
  • Position a rack in the base of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Once boiling, carefully lower jars into the water with a jar lifter, ensuring a 2-inch gap between them. If needed, top up with boiling water to reach a minimum of 1 inch over the jar tops. Cover, allow the water to reach a rolling boil, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Take the jars out of the stockpot and place them on a cloth-covered or wooden surface, several inches apart, until they cool down. Once cooled, press the top of each lid with a finger to ensure a tight seal (lid should not move up or down). Store in a cool, dark place.
