Preparation
Step 1
In a food processor, finely chop peppers and onions.
Combine with tomatoes, sugar, vinegar and seasonings in a very large stockpot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least one hour, stirring often to prevent burning, until mixture darkens and thickens. Add pectin and stir well for one minute.
Ladle into hot sterilized jars, leaving one-inch headspace. Wipe rims; secure with lids and rings. Process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes.
Set jars on a towel to cool. Check for seals.
