A lovely red color and nice tangy flavor make this relish a hit whenever I serve it. It's great at Thanksgiving and Christmas - or any time. I keep frozen cranberries on hand so we can enjoy it year-round. -Maureen Alexander, San Jose, California

MOM'S FRUIT RELISH

Mom's Fruit Relish image

This recipe is a longstanding Canadian late-summer tradition; I have seen similar recipes in very old cookbooks. My mother-in-law taught me to make this back in the summer of 1983, right after my son was born. This is definitely a two-person job; it's a lot of work -- but the resulting relish is well worth the effort. She never processes it, but you certainly can if you want -- or just store the jars in the fridge. They won't last long; you'll be eating this with everything! :-)

Yield 8 pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

20 ripe beefsteak tomatoes
8 pears
8 peaches
6 large onions
2 red bell peppers
4 cups white sugar
1 quart vinegar
2 tablespoons pickling salt
2 tablespoons pickling spices (tied up in a cheesecloth bag)

Steps:

This recipe requires a lot of prep work; I recommend you prepare it with a friend and split the bounty!
Have ready a large preserving kettle.
Peel tomatoes, seed, and dice; place in kettle.
Peel pears, core, and slice 1/4 inch thick; place in kettle.
Peel peaches, remove pit, and slice 1/4 inch thick; place in kettle.
Peel and finely chop onions; place in kettle.
Remove seeds from red peppers and dice; place in kettle.
Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil; let mixture simmer (NOT a gentle simmer) until it is thick; this will take two to three hours.
Stir frequently.
Discard spice bag and ladle relish into prepared, hot sterilized canning jars and seal.
My mother-in-law never processed this, and neither do I; if you can it in pint jars and want to process it; I recommend a 10-minute boiling water bath.
