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.

Steps:
- Using a food grinder, grind together the green tomatoes, red peppers, green peppers, onions, apples, and cucumbers into a large food-safe container. Mix in 1 scant cup salt, and let stand overnight.
- The next day, drain off the excess liquid from the ground vegetable mixture.
- Bring the vinegar to a boil in a large kettle or stockpot. Place the allspice, cloves, mustard, 1 tablespoon of salt, cinnamon, and turmeric into a closely-woven cloth bag, and place the bag into the hot vinegar to boil for about 15 minutes. Remove the spice bag, and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Add the ground vegetable mixture, bring back to a boil, and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until the relish is soft and slightly darkened in color, about 20 minutes.
- Sterilize pint canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish 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 canning kettle, and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the kettle 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.

Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use firm, green tomatoes that are free of blemishes and bruises. Smaller tomatoes are ideal for this recipe, as they will hold their shape better during the cooking process.
- Prepare the tomatoes properly: Core and slice the tomatoes thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for both bell peppers and chili peppers. Bell peppers add sweetness and crunch, while chili peppers add a bit of heat. You can adjust the amount of chili peppers you use depending on your desired level of spiciness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the relish more watery.
- Simmer the relish until thickened: Once the vegetables have softened, reduce the heat to low and simmer the relish for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened. This will help to develop the flavors and create a more cohesive relish.
- Use a sterile jar: When canning the relish, be sure to use a sterile jar. This will help to prevent the relish from spoiling.
Conclusion:
Green tomato and pepper relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is perfect for adding a tangy, sweet, and spicy flavor to sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, and tacos. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken or fish, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables. No matter how you choose to use it, green tomato and pepper relish is sure to be a hit!
