Wash peppers well. Remove white ribs and seeds and cut into 1″ squares. Peel and cut onions into eighths. Chop peppers and onions medium-fine in a food processor or run through a medium blade of hand grinder.

Combine all ingredients in large pot of at least 5 quarts. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Pour into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Adjust lids. Process for 15 minutes in a hot water bath.

P.S. The relish is pretty good immediately, but like all good things canned, it tastes better if the finished jars sit a month before opening.

P.P.S. I have tasted other versions of this sweet relish where mild hot peppers have been substituted for a portion of the sweet pepper measure. Haven’t tried this spicy/sweet idea yet but it’s on my list for this year!
