Normas Hot Dog Hamburger Relish Recipes

NORMA'S HOT DOG & HAMBURGER RELISH

Steps:

• 1. Chopped fine the tomates, onions and peppers
• 2. Place in a wire strainer to drain off extra liquid from the tomatoes, peppers and onions.
• 3. Place all into a large stainless steel pot. (Using any other type of pot might stain it from the acid from the tomatoes).I also have used a roaster pan when I didn't have stainless steel.
• 4. Add sugar, mustard seed, celery seed and vinegar stir well.
• 5. Place on stove with burner on med-high heat.Bring all to a boil, remove from heat and add turmeric and stir once again.
• 6. Place in sterilized pint jars; one at a time, leaving 1/2 inch from top of jar. Wipe dry the edge of opening with a clean cloth.
• 7. Place lid and band on jar and twist tight. Continue filling other jars and repeat as above.No need to process. They will seal themselves.
• 8. One batch makes 7 to 8 pint jars of relish.
