Ingredients

  • 6 Red tomatoes

  • 6 Peaches

  • 6 Pears

  • 6 onions (large)

  • 3 green peppers (large)

  • 3 teaspoon Salt

  • 2 cup Vinegar

  • 5 cup sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Pickling spice

Directions

  • Boil water in a pot. Score all tomatoes and peaches with a shallow X at the bottom of the fruit. With a slotted spoon, one at a time, dunk tomatoes and peaches in the boiling water for 5-10 seconds. Dunk in cold water and peel away skin.
  • Peel pears.
  • Cut all fruits and vegetables into large chunks.
  • Put pickling spice into mousseline or cheese cloth (don’t mix the spices into the rest of the ingredients).
  • Place everything in a pot, and let simmer uncovered for an hour.
  • Can and let cool.

Notes

  • This stuff has a very nice sweet and sour taste that goes well with all kinds of stuff; sausage, pork and salmon in particular.
  • The recipe makes enough for a years worth of consumption, at least for our house hold.
