How to Make Mom Barbaras Pepper Relish
- Roughly chop 4 pounds of assorted sweet peppers (such as bell peppers, banana peppers, etc.) and 2 large onions.
- Place the chopped peppers and onions in a large bowl. Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the peppers and onions, cover the bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine 2 cups of white vinegar, 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1 cup of packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of celery seed, 1 tablespoon of mustard seed, and 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
- Drain the peppers and onions thoroughly. Add the drained peppers and onions to the boiling mixture.
- Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender and the relish has thickened slightly.
- Carefully ladle the hot relish into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the jars. Wipe the jar rims clean, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude).
- Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a satisfying “pop” sound as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
