How to Make Trixie's Tomato Relish

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Core and roughly chop 4 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  2. While tomatoes roast, finely chop 1 medium onion and 2 cloves garlic.
  3. In a large pot, combine the roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon celery seed, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the relish has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  5. Sterilize your jars and lids. Carefully ladle the hot relish into the prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  7. Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy!
