A delightful and versatile relish combining sweet and spicy flavors, perfect for dips or as a condiment.
Combine the tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, sugar, vinegar, salt, and cayenne pepper in a large pot.
Chop the vegetables finely for a smoother relish texture.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken properly.
Stir in the pectin and boil for an additional minute.
Ensure the pectin is fully dissolved for proper setting.
Pour the hot relish into sterilized jars, leaving some headspace.
Use a funnel for easier transfer of the relish into jars.
Process the jars in a pressure canner at 11 pounds of pressure for 15 minutes.
Follow the pressure canner's instructions for safe processing.
Allow the jars to cool and check the seals before storing.
Properly sealed jars will have a concave lid and make a popping sound when pressed.
