How To Make tomato relish
-
1In a large saucepan, bring several (8 to 10) cups water to a boil. Add tomatoes, a few at a time; boil for 30 seconds. Drain and immediately place tomatoes in ice water. Drain and pat dry; peel and finely chop. Gently squeeze juice and seeds into a strainer set over a bowl. Use the tomato juice for breakfast, and save the seeds for planting next year, just don't put the juice and seeds in the pot, only drained, seeded tomatoes.

2. Roast the peppers in a hot oven for a half hour, then cool so skinning is easier. If you don't remove the skin, it will be bitter.

3Place seeded tomatoes in a stockpot. Add onions and skinned peppers
-
4Place mustard and celery seed on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Add spice bag and the remaining ingredients to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes at a low simmer, or until slightly thickened. Discard spice bag
-
5Carefully ladle relish into hot 1-pint jars, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles; wipe rims and adjust lids. Process in boiling-water canner for 20 minutes.
