Instructions
Gather the ingredients.
Working in batches
coarsely grind tomatoes
onions
red bell peppers
and green bell peppers in a grinder or food processor. Line a large colander with cheesecloth and place in the sink or a large bowl. Pour in tomato mixture to drain for 1 hour.
Combine drained tomato mixture
sugar
vinegar
celery seed
mustard seed
and salt in a large
non-aluminum stockpot over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer
stirring frequently
for 5 minutes.
Sterilize enough jars and lids to hold relish (twelve 1-pint jars or six 1-quart jars). Pack relish into the sterilized jars
ensuring no spaces or air pockets. Fill the jars to the top; screw on the lids.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. If necessary
pour in more boiling water until the tops of the jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil
then cover and process for 30 minutes.
Remove the jars from the pot and place them on a cloth-covered or wood surface
several inches apart
until cool. Once cool
press the top of each lid with a finger
ensuring that the seal is tight (the lid does not move up or down at all). Relish can be stored for up to a year.
