No Sugar Green Tomato Relish

Ingredients

2 lb green tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 lb white ot yellow onion chopped
3/4 lb sweet red peppers
1/2 lb tart cooking apples
6 garlic cloves
1 cup raw apple cider vinegar (5%)
1 T kosher or sea salt
4 jalepeno peppers
2 T chopped cilantro
1 t ground cumin

Directions

Combine the tomatoes, onions, peppers, apples, garlic, vinegar, and salt in a large nonreactive pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered stirring occasionally until thickened (about an hour).

Stir in the jalepenos, cilantro, and cumin and simmer for 5 more minutes. Carefully puree the mixture using a stick blender or a counter top blender until somewhat chunky. Do not over mix; you don't want it smooth.

This green tomato relish will keep in the fridge for several weeks.

If canning, return the pureed relish to a boil, then ladle the hot mixture into hot sanitized jars, leaving 1/4" head space. Process 15 minutes in a boiling water canner. Store in a cool dark place for up to a year.

If not canning you can reduce the vinegar to 1/2 cup or less.
