Method
- Sterilize 6 pint jars and lids in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, then remove and let dry.
- Dice 4 cups mixed peppers and 1 cup onions into small, uniform pieces using gloves for hot peppers.
- In a large pot, combine the diced peppers and onions with 2 cups white vinegar, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon pickling salt. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to thicken.
- Using a canning funnel, fill each hot jar with relish, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a cloth.
- Place lids on jars and screw bands fingertip-tight to allow proper sealing.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes, ensuring the water covers the jars by at least 1 inch.
- Carefully remove jars with a jar lifter and place on a towel to cool undisturbed. After cooling, check that lids have sealed properly.
Notes
Let the relish sit for a few days before using to enhance flavors and label jars with date for easy identification.
