Relish - Green Tomato
4 pounds green tomato
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 cup red bell pepper (or more, to taste)
1 cup vinegar
1 1/3 teaspoons allspice, whole
1 1/3 teaspoons celery seed
1 1/3 teaspoons dry mustard
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/3 teaspoons white pepper, whole
1 1/3 teaspoons cloves, whole
1 1/3 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 onions, medium
3 slices lemon, thin
Chop or grind the tomatoes, onions, and peppers. Combine the tomatoes and onions in a large bowl and mix with the salt. Let stand overnight.
In the morning drain thoroughly. Put the tomatoes and onions in a large kettle and add the lemon slices, bell pepper, sugar, vinegar, and the spices and mustard tied in a bag. Bring to a boil and cook for about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Discard the spice bag and turn the relish into sterilized jars. Seal at once.
Put into boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
