Steps:
- Place pears into a large stock pot, add water to cover, and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool. When pears are cool, peel, core, and coarsely chop.
- Place pears, onions, green bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers into a food processor, working in batches if necessary, and chop the pears and vegetables finely. Transfer pears and vegetables, including any juice, to a large pot.
- Stir vinegar, sugar, prepared mustard, and salt into the pear mixture and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors have blended and relish is thickened, about 1 hour.
- Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack pear 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 stockpot 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 about 20 minutes or the amount of time recommended for your area.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and 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 ripe, firm pears: Use pears that are ripe but still firm, as they will hold their shape better in the relish.
- Use a variety of pears: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of pears, such as Bartlett, Bosc, and Anjou.
- Add some heat: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped chili pepper to the relish.
- Experiment with different flavors: Add other ingredients to the relish to create different flavor combinations, such as ginger, garlic, or fresh herbs.
- Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the relish. Use a vinegar that is flavorful and has a good acidity, such as apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
- Store the relish properly: Once the relish is made, store it in a clean, airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Pear relish is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is a great addition to sandwiches, burgers, and salads. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a glaze for grilled meats. With its sweet and tangy flavor, pear relish is sure to add a delicious touch to any dish.
