Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Green tomatoes
- 1 large White onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1.5 cups White vinegar
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the green tomatoes, onion, and bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
Cut the green tomatoes, onion, and bell peppers into small chunks.
In small batches, pulse the green tomatoes, onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper in a food processor until finely chopped. Do not puree.
Transfer the chopped vegetables into a large bowl and sprinkle them with kosher salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 2 hours. This will draw out excess moisture from the vegetables.
After 2 hours, drain the mixture in a colander and press gently to remove excess liquid. Do not rinse.
In a large pot, combine the white vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, ground turmeric, and ground black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Add the drained vegetable mixture to the pot. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the relish simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Once the mixture has thickened and flavors have melded, remove the pot from heat.
Let the relish cool slightly before transferring it into sterilized jars. Seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely.
Store the relish in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or process the jars in a water bath canner for long-term storage.
