Zubereitung von Vera's Green Tomato Relish
- Wash and chop 8 pounds green tomatoes, 4 large onions, 4 green bell peppers, and 2 red bell peppers.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with 1/2 cup kosher salt. Mix thoroughly and let stand for 3-4 hours. This draws out excess moisture.
- After 3-4 hours, drain the vegetables in a colander, pressing firmly to remove as much liquid as possible.
- In a large pot, combine 6 cups white vinegar, 6 cups sugar, 2 tablespoons celery seed, 2 tablespoons mustard seed, 1 tablespoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference).
- Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. This simmering process takes approximately 15 minutes.
- Add the drained vegetables to the boiling vinegar mixture. Increase heat to high, bringing the mixture to a rolling boil and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Carefully ladle the hot relish into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, and seal according to your preferred canning method. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust based on your altitude and jar size).
- Let the jars cool completely. Check for proper sealing; the lids should not flex when pressed down.
- Once completely cool, label and store your jars of relish in a cool, dark, and dry place. Enjoy!
