How to Make Sweet Pepper Relish Heinz

  1. Wash and roughly chop 4 pounds of sweet peppers (any color). Remove stems, seeds, and membranes.
  2. Finely chop 1 large onion (about 1 cup chopped).
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped peppers, onion, 2 cups of white vinegar, 1 ½ cups of sugar, 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of celery seed, and ½ teaspoon of turmeric.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender-crisp.
  5. If desired, add 1-2 finely minced hot peppers during the last 10 minutes of simmering for extra heat.
  6. While the relish simmers, sterilize your jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Keep jars hot until ready to use.
  7. Ladle the hot relish into the sterilized jars, leaving ½-inch headspace at the top. Remove air bubbles by gently tapping jars on the counter.
  8. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and tighten fingertip-tight.
  9. Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (adjust time according to your altitude - consult a canning guide for details).
  10. Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal. Check to ensure all jars sealed properly.
  11. Once cooled, label and store in a cool, dark place. For refrigerator storage (half recipe), transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
