Ingredients
- 4 cups (chopped) green tomatoes
- 1 cup (chopped) yellow onions
- 1 cup (chopped) green bell pepper
- 1 cup (chopped) red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons pickling salt
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers thoroughly. Dice them into small, even pieces and combine them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Sprinkle the chopped vegetables with the pickling salt and mix evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 4 hours at room temperature.
Step 3
After 4 hours, drain the liquid from the vegetable mixture and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain well and set aside.
Step 4
In a large stainless steel or enamel pot, combine the white vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric powder. Stir to dissolve the sugar and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the liquid is boiling, add the drained vegetable mixture to the pot. Stir well to combine and reduce the heat to low-medium.
Step 6
Simmer the mixture for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Ladle the hot relish into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids.
Step 8
Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator for immediate use, or process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for long-term storage.
