How to Make Heinz Red Hamburger Relish Copycat

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups thinly sliced cucumbers, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 green bell pepper (finely chopped), 2 stalks celery (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and 2 cups water. Let stand for 12 hours or overnight. Drain well in a strainer, pressing gently to remove excess liquid.
Tie 1 cinnamon stick, 5 whole cloves, and 1 teaspoon allspice berries in a cheesecloth bag.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the spice bag and 3 cups white vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
Add 6 cups chopped tomatoes, increase heat to medium, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer until tomatoes are pureed (about 30 minutes).
Stir in 1 ½ cups sugar and 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.
Add the drained vegetables to the tomato mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated (25-30 minutes).
Remove the spice bag.
Ladle the relish into 4 hot, sterilized ½-pint preserving jars, leaving ½-inch headspace.
Wipe jar rims clean, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Label and let the relish mellow in a cool, dry place for at least 3 weeks before using. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
