SPICY TOMATO RELISH (CANNING RECIPE)

Steps:

• Peel tomatoes by boiling water method- dip each tomato briefly in boiling water and then immediately drop into a pot of cold water; the skins should peel off quite easily after that.
• Mix all ingredients in large, preferably non stick, pot.
• Simmer over medium heat to desired thickness, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Spoon mixture into sterilized pint jars and seal with lids and bands.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes; will keep stored in cool place for up to a year.

SWEET TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, apples, onions, sugar, vinegar, and pickling spice bundle in a large pot; bring to a boil and cook together about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the tomato mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 40 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
