5 pounds green tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
2 yellow onions, quartered
2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded, and quartered
2 cups sugar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 small chile peppers, cored and seeded
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
1 tablespoon celery seeds
1 tablespoon pickling spices
1 tablespoon whole cloves

1
Grate the tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers on a box grater or in a food processor using the grating disk.
2
Transfer the grated vegetables to a large nonreactive saucepan and add the sugar, vinegar, chile peppers, salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, pickling spices, and cloves and stir to mix.
3
Bring to a low boil over medium heat, skimming the rising foam as needed.
4
Cook, stirring often, until thick, about 45 minutes.
5
Remove from the heat.
6
If preserving the relish, sterilize four 1-pint heat-tempered canning jars (see Know-how, page 291).
7
For refrigerator relish, let cool slightly and refrigerate in airtight containers until ready to serve, or for up to 2 months.
8
For preserved relish, pack the hot relish in the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace to ensure a proper seal, and process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes to vacuum-seal (see Know-how, page 291).
9
Let cool to room temperature, check the seal, and store in a cool, dark place until ready to serve, or for up to 6 months.
10
Refrigerate after opening.
