How to Make Apple And Green Tomato Relish

1. Peel, core, and chop 4 large apples (about 4 cups chopped). Chop 4 cups of green tomatoes and 1 large onion (about 1 cup chopped). Grind the apples, tomatoes, and onion using a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed.
2. In a large, heavy-bottomed kettle or pot, combine the chopped apples, tomatoes, and onion with 2 cups of white vinegar, 1 ½ cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon of ground allspice, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
4. Simmer gently for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the relish has thickened and the apples are tender.
5. While the relish simmers, prepare your canning jars and lids by sterilizing them in boiling water for 10 minutes.
6. Carefully ladle the hot relish into the sterilized pint-size canning jars, leaving ½ inch headspace at the top.
7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place the lids and rings on top, and tighten fingertip tight.
8. Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes to ensure safe sealing. Adjust processing time based on your altitude (consult a reputable canning guide for precise instructions).
9. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
10. Makes approximately 10 pints.
