Green Tomato Hot Dog Relish

I don't know, mabe it the colder weather
today I feel like eating a couple hot dogs.
With some freshly made green tomato relish.

Ingredients:
8 cups finely chopped green tomatoes
2 cups finely chopped peeled onions
4 bell peppers, part red, finely chopped
1/3 cup pickling salt
2 tablespoons mixed pickling spices
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 1/4 cups white vinegar
1 2/3 cups packed light brown sugar

Directions:
Combine the chopped vegetables
and salt in a large stainless steel pan.
Cover and let stand in a cool place
for 10 to 12 hours, or overnight.
Pour the vegetables in a colander
over the sink and let drain.
Rinse with cool water and use your
hands to squeeze out any excess liquids.
Tie the pickling spices and celery
seeds in a cheesecloth spice bag.
In a large stainless steel or enamel-lined pan,
combine the vinegar, the spice bag,
chopped garlic, and the vinegar.
Put the vinegar mixture over high heat
and bring to a boil, stirring
until sugar is dissolved.
Add the drained green tomato mixture
and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and boil
gently, stirring often, for 1 hour.
While the mixture is cooking,
prepare the work area,
canner, jars, and lids.
