the longer this relish ages, the hotter it gets.

1 dozen green peppers, [sweet]
1 doz. red sweet peppers
1 doz. apples
1 pound of sugar
1 quart of vinegar
9 hot peppers
1 table spoon pickling spices
3 tablespoons of dry mustard
2 tablespoons of celery seeds.
Now you can of course, add more hot peppers to this if you want. and it will make it hotter.

grind the peppers, onions, apples, and drain.
Co0mbine all the ingredients in a large kettle. and cook, over med, heat. for 30 minutes.
Pour into hot sterilized jars, and seal.
usually when recipe like this, says seal, I hot water bath for 10 or 15 minutes, usually 10. the vinegar, will keep this from spoiling, just like sour kraut. the salt and vinegar, acts like a preserving agent. in other words in a brine. is really what relishes, and pickles are in.
