Method

  1. Prepare the canning jars by immersing them in simmering water for at least 5 minutes.

  2. Wash the new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

  3. In a large pot, combine vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seed, and basil. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved.

  5. Stir in the green tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, and apples into the vinegar mixture.

  6. Boil the mixture vigorously, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the relish flavors have blended. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.

  7. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, leaving a 1/4 inch space from the top.

  8. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles.

  9. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue.

  10. Place the lids on top of the jars and screw on the rings.

  11. Prepare a large stockpot by placing a rack in the bottom and filling it halfway with water.

  12. Bring the water to a boil and carefully lower the jars into the boiling water using a holder. Make sure to leave a 2-inch space between the jars.

  13. Add more boiling water if needed to ensure that the water level is at least 1 inch
