Tomatillo Relish/salsa

Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 10 tomatillos
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 2 medium vidalia onions
• 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
• 1 1/2 tablespoons celery seeds
• 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar

Recipe

• 1 peel the papery wrapping off of the tomatillos, remove the seeds and inner ribs from the bell peppers, and peel the onions.
• 2 quarter the tomatillos and set aside. roughly chop the onions and bell peppers and set aside.
• 3 in your food processor, finely puree the tomatillos, peppers, and onions together. i usually have to do this in two batches. on high speed, this takes me about 3 minutes per batch; when done it should resemble a fine-grain blend.
• 4 line a strainer with cheese cloth and drain the minced vegetables for at least 1 hour. i have drained this over night, before, and had no problems.
• 5 after the minced vegetables have drained, combine them with the remaining ingredients in a non-reactive pot.
• 6 place the pot over high heat on your stove and bring to a boil.
• 7 stirring, to prevent scorching, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
• 8 remove to mason jars and refrigerate. once it is chilled, serve in dollops with sausages, chips, eggs, ham, or anything else that needs a sweet-n-tangy boost.
