How to Make Uncle Don's Relish
- Wash and roughly chop 10 lbs of ripe tomatoes, 2 large yellow onions, and 2 green bell peppers.
- Grind the tomatoes, onions, and peppers using a food grinder or by pulsing in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
- Transfer the mixture to a large, non-reactive pot or container. Add 1/4 cup kosher salt, stir well, and let it sit for 5 hours to draw out excess moisture.
- After 5 hours, drain off all liquid thoroughly.
- Return the drained relish to the pot. Stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of celery seed, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard seed, 2 cups of white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- While the relish simmers, prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water. Keep them hot.
- Carefully ladle the hot relish into the hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean. Seal the jars according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Ensure the jars are completely submerged in the water.
- Remove the jars and let them cool completely. Check for proper seals (the lids should not flex when pressed). Store in a cool, dark place.
