How to Make Sweet Tomato Relish Canning
- Sterilize 10-quart canning pot and jars. Prepare lids and rings according to manufacturer's instructions.
- In a large (10-quart or larger) pot, combine all ingredients.
- Bring mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning (about every 5-10 minutes).
- Simmer for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the relish has reduced to the consistency of applesauce. A potato masher or immersion blender can be used to achieve a smoother consistency.
- The relish should turn a deep, dark red and become somewhat translucent.
- Ladle the hot relish into prepared, sterilized jars, leaving at least 1/4 inch headspace.
- Remove air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jar.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, ensuring no relish residue remains.
- Place lids and rings on jars and tighten fingertip tight.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes, ensuring jars are fully submerged.
- Remove jars and let them cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check seals after cooling; any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and consumed promptly.
