Tomato Relish

This actually came from our grandmother, our mom's mom. This is the canned relish that Mom always made growing up! Yes, it is a huge quantity because it is meant to be canned! We had this a lot on with roasts growing up, especially for Sunday dinner! I even liked it on my roasted potatoes.

Tomato Relish (from our Grandmother Mary O)

30 ripe tomatoes, chopped into pieces
12 large sour apples, chopped into pieces
10 large onions, chopped into pieces
1 quart vinegar
1 quart sugar
6 green peppers, chopped
4 Tbsp mustard
4 Tbsp salt
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger

Make sure everything is chopped finely. Mix all the ingredients together. Bring to a boil for 2 hours, and then bottle.

To bottle:

1. Sterilize jars only with washing or putting jars in boiling water.
2. Take new lids and put into hot, boiled water.
3. Set jars in hot water, as well.
4. Pour relish into bottle.
5. After wiping the edge of the jar, place the lid on top.
6. Screw on lid.

While cooling, the center part of the new lid should pop down.
