Ingredients

  • 1 gal. ground pears
  • 8 sweet bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 hot red peppers, chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 qt. white vinegar
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp. salt
  • 3 Tbsp. dry mustard
  • 8 c. ground onions
  • 6 tsp. allspice
  • 2 tsp. cloves
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 4 c. sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. turmeric

Method

  • Mix in order given and cook over low heat until thick.
  • Seal in hot jars. Store in a dark place. Some cooks like to mix 1/2 cup plain flour with some of the saved pear juice and make a thin paste.
  • Stir this into the mixture after it is done. This will cut cooking time. Be sure to cook until the relish is thick in either case.
