GREEN TOMATOES HOT DOG RELISH RECIPE

Steps:

• With food processor, process green tomatoes, onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno peppers and garlic cloves. You want to have small pieces, but you don't want to liquify.
• Place processed vegetables in cheesecloth and squeeze excess liquid out but you don't need to go completely crazy with this. A little bit of liquid remaining will be okay.
• Pickling Spice Bag: Prepare a small square of cheesecloth and place pickling spices in the center. Tie the top with a small strip of cheesecloth or baker's twine.
• Place vegetables into medium saucepan with pickling spice bag, chile de arbol, vinegar and salt. Place pan on stovetop on medium heat until just boiling then allow to simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Stir occasionally. If it looks like the vegetables are starting to stick to the bottom, add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup water and continue simmering.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before placing in refrigerator. Remove spice bag before storing. You can also remove the whole chiles, if you like. Serve as a condiment with hot dogs or hamburgers. Serve as a side relish for meats and baked beans.

GREEN TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• In a grinder or food processor, coarsely grind tomatoes, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and onions. (You may need to do this in batches.) Line a large colander with cheesecloth, place in sink or in a large bowl, and pour in tomato mixture to drain for 1 hour.
• In a large, non-aluminum stockpot, combine tomato mixture, celery seed, mustard seed, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Sterilize enough jars and lids to hold relish (12 one-pint jars, or 6 one-quart jars). Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars all the way to top. Screw on lids.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.
• Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Relish can be stored for up to a year.
