How to Make Green Tomato Relish Hot Dog Relish

  1. Combine 4 cups chopped green tomatoes, 1 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt over the vegetables, mix well, and let stand for 1 hour. This draws out excess moisture.
  3. Drain the vegetables thoroughly in a colander.
  4. In a large pot, combine the drained vegetables, 2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon celery seed, and 1 teaspoon ground turmeric.
  5. Tie 6 whole cloves in a small piece of cheesecloth to create a spice bag and add it to the pot.
  6. Stir in 2 cups white vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Remove the spice bag.
  8. Carefully ladle the hot relish into sterilized half-pint canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  9. Place canning lids and rings on the jars, tightening fingertip tight.
  10. Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude; consult a reputable canning guide for specific instructions).
  11. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ as the jars seal. Check seals before storing.
