BIP'S RIPE TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onions, apple cider vinegar, salt, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon in a large stock pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tomatoes have broken down and liquid has reduced by 1/3, about 2 hours. Stir apples into the relish and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apple pieces have started to break down but are still small pieces, about 30 more minutes.
• Sterilize jars, lids, and rings in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the tomato 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 and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot 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.

RIPE TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• 1. I'll put peppers and onions in a blender about 1/2 full, then finish filling with water and put top on. Chop or grind until finely chopped. Drain in a colander. It'll take 3-4 times doing this until all onions and peppers are chopped. Put these ingredients in a large pot along with drained, chopped tomatoes. Add vinegar and about a cup of sugar (at first). Drop in cinnamon stick and pickling spices tied in clean white cloth. Add some more salt, sorry, I don't have an amount. At this point, it goes by taste. Bring all ingredients to a rolling boil, then drop heat down to a simmer. Taste it and you will probably have to add more sugar (maybe another 1/2 - 1 cup) and maybe a bit more salt. I usually cook about 45 minutes to an hour on a slow boil. If it doesn't cook down enough, sometimes I'll drain off some of the liquid into a colander and return relish to container. You'll want finished product kind of thick, not a lot of juice at all. When desired thickness is reached, remove cinnamon stick and spice cloth. While relish is cooking, wash and sterilize about 4-5 pint jars (or if you want to give for gifts, the smaller jelly jars). Ladel relish into hot jars and seal. Water bath about 5-10 minutes. No need to pressure these. **If I have it, sometimes I'll put about 1 cup of shredded cabbage into mixture before cooking. I'll save my husbands' older white handkerchiefs and cut them in 1/4 to tie pickling spices in, makes a perfect size, talk about frugal. NOTE: The easiest way to peel tomatoes for canning purposes is to wash them, cut an X on top (not stem side) and dunk in boiling hot water for a few seconds, remove from water and skin will peel off easily, make sure you remove core, too. (I'll save the juice I drained from the tomatoes to can later, just be sure to strain well to remove seeds.)
