1 Gallon Green Tomatoes
6 medium yellow onions
1 large Cabbage Head
4 Green Bell Peppers, seeded
2 Red Bell Peppers, seeded
2 Jalapeno, seeded (optional)
1 Quart White Vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 teaspoon all spice
Method
Chop the cabbage in a medium chop
In the food processor chop the tomatoes, onions and peppers in a fine chop.
In a very large pan, add the cabbage, tomatoes onions and peppers, vinegar, sugar and all the spice, mix well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook the mixture until the cabbage is reduced and soft, the tomatoes will change colors and the onions will be clear. It will need to cook between 20 and 30 minutes depending on your stove.
Set the mixture off the heat and adjust the spice to taste
Pack the mixture in clean sterile jars and seal
Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes
Remove from the hot water bath and set aside to cool until all the jars have sealed, listen for the ping.
Recipe Note
In the original recipe, it called for grinding the tomatoes, peppers and onions. My Grandmother had one of those Hand Grinders that you hang on the side of the cabinet. I still have her Hand Grinder but prefer to use the adaption of the food processor.
