Swap the seasonings: <\/strong>This recipe for tomato relish includes many spices, and you can tailor them to your preferences. For instance, if you don’t like ginger, you could use more of the other spices instead. Adding some black pepper would be a nice touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Store Tomato Relish<\/h2>\n Because it’s canned, once you’ve checked the seals on the jars, you can store tomato relish on a shelf. It’s best to keep canned goods out of direct sunlight and in a cool place like a pantry. The USDA says that homemade canned goods should be eaten within a year. If using the tomato relish right away, it should be refrigerated. Once opened, it will last for up to a week.<\/p>\n
Can you freeze tomato relish?<\/h3>\n You can freeze tomato relish instead of canning it, but the texture may be different when it thaws. If you own a vacuum sealer, making sealed bags of relish is the best way to prepare it for freezing. If not, you can package it in freezer-safe bags and squeeze out as much air as possible.<\/p>\n
Tomato Relish Tips<\/h2>\nDo you need to peel tomatoes for tomato relish?<\/h3>\n Peeling tomatoes before turning them into sauces or condiments is standard practice. But if you mostly plan to use your tomato relish on sandwiches or burgers, you may not notice the textural difference if you don’t peel them.<\/p>\n
Can I modify this tomato relish recipe?<\/h3>\n It’s important to note that while we offer minor tweaks in our Variations section, you should modify canning recipes only\u00a0by changing the spices or swapping similar types of vegetables for each other (such as red and green bell peppers). Maintaining the proper pH, salt and water content is essential in canning recipes.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Scoop out the tomatoes with a large slotted spoon or a strainer and immediately place them in the ice water bath. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes. Drain the tomatoes, pat them dry and peel them. Editor's Tip: Cooking something briefly in boiling water is called blanching. For this recipe, we blanch the tomatoes to loosen their skins. To make peeling easier, before boiling turn each tomato upside down and use the point of a sharp knife to draw a small \"X\" across the dimple in the bottom of the fruit. Each side of the X should be about 1\/2-inch long, but precision isn't super important. When the skin is loose after blanching, pulling it off should be easy, starting at the X you made."},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Put everything in a pot","text":"Finely chop the tomatoes and add them to a stockpot.

Then, process in a boiling-water canner for 20 minutes. Editor's Tip: After gently removing the jars from the water bath, let them cool and then check the seals on the jars. Any that didn't seal should be kept in the fridge and used within a week."}],"recipeYield":"10 pints","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Suzanne Podhaizer"}],"nutrition":{"@type":"NutritionInformation","calories":"","fatContent":"","cholesterolContent":"","sodiumContent":"","carbohydrateContent":"","fiberContent":"","proteinContent":""},"aggregateRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.263158,"reviewCount":19,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5},"review":[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-05-01","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Jerro"},"reviewBody":"The instructions omit squeezing juice and seeds into a strainer set over a bowl.
