Steps:
- In a grinder or food processor, coarsely grind tomatoes, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and onions. (You may need to do this in batches.) Line a large colander with cheesecloth, place in sink or in a large bowl, and pour in tomato mixture to drain for 1 hour.
- In a large, non-aluminum stockpot, combine tomato mixture, celery seed, mustard seed, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Sterilize enough jars and lids to hold relish (12 one-pint jars, or 6 one-quart jars). Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars all the way to top. Screw on lids.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.
- Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Relish can be stored for up to a year.

CHOW CHOW GREEN TOMATO RELISH RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the chopped vegetables in a large nonreactive kettle or bowl. Add the salt and stir to combine thoroughly. Cover and let stand for 4 hours or refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare the canner and jars . Add water to a large canning kettle with rack and heat to a boil; reduce heat and keep at a simmer. The water should be high enough to be at least 1 inch above the filled jars. We usually fill it about halfway and keep a kettle or saucepan of water boiling on another burner to add to the canning kettle as needed. Wash jars thoroughly and heat water in a small saucepan. Put the lids in the saucepan and bring almost to the boil; lower heat to very low to keep the lids hot.
- Drain the vegetables and rinse thoroughly.
- In a large nonreactive kettle, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, celery and yellow mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue simmering for 5 minutes.
- Add the drained vegetables and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon, pack the vegetables into prepared jars. Cover vegetables with the pickling liquid, leaving approximately 1/4-inch headspace.
- With a clean dampened cloth, wipe the rims of the jars. Place the flat lids on the jars. Close caps with screw-on rings tightly, but do not over-tighten. Arrange the filled jars in the canning kettle, and add more water so that it is at least 1 inch above the jars.
- Bring to a full boil. Cover and continue boiling for 10 minutes. Remove the relish to a rack to cool completely.
- Check for seals . The middle of the caps should have made a popping sound while cooling and will stay depressed.
