Easy Green Tomato and Pepper Relish Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings
• 12 large green tomatoes, cut into large chunks
• 10 large onions, cut into large chunks
• 6 large green bell peppers, cut into large chunks
• 6 large red bell peppers, cut into large chunks
• 4 cups boiling water, or as needed
• 5 cups white sugar
• 4 cups vinegar
• 1 (8 ounce) jar mustard
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric

Instructions

1. Check 6 pint-sized jars for any damage like cracks or rust, and discard any that aren't in perfect condition. Keep them in simmering water until the relish is ready. Wash new lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
2. Combine green tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, then pour boiling water over it and let it sit for 20 minutes. Drain the water completely.
3. Place the vegetable mixture in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add sugar, vinegar, mustard, salt, and turmeric, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.
4. Carefully pack the relish into hot, sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch of space at the top. Use a clean knife or spatula to gently remove any air bubbles trapped inside the jars. Wipe the rims clean with a damp paper towel. Secure the lids and rings tightly.
5. Place a rack at the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil, then carefully lower the jars into the boiling water, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart. Add more boiling water if needed to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water back to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jars from the stockpot and place them on a cloth-covered or wooden surface, leaving a few inches between each jar, and let them cool completely for 2 to 24 hours. Press down on the center of each lid to check that they have sealed properly. Remove the rings before storing the jars in a cool, dark place.
