Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Cut the green tomatoes, onions, and peppers into wedges.
Processing Vegetables
- In a food processor, cover and process the vegetables in batches until they are finely chopped.
- Stir in the canning salt with the chopped vegetables.
Draining
- Divide the vegetable mixture between two strainers, placing each over a bowl. Let it stand for 3 hours to allow excess liquid to drain. Discard the liquid from the bowls.
Cooking the Relish
- In a stockpot, combine the drained vegetables with the cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, and mustard seed. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until thickened.
Jarring
- Carefully ladle the hot mixture into eight hot pint jars, ensuring to leave 1/2 inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust the headspace if necessary by adding more hot mixture.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean and center the lids on them. Screw on the bands until they are fingertip tight.
Processing Jars
- Place the jars into a canner filled with simmering water, making sure they are completely covered. Bring to a boil and process for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the jars from the canner and let them cool.
Notes
Store in a cool, dark place for about a year. Once opened, consume within a few weeks and keep refrigerated.
