Piccalilli - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 quarts green tomatoes
    12 sweet red peppers
    12 green peppers
    1 quart small onion
    3 quarts cider vinegar
    7 cups granulated sugar
    1/2 cup salt
    1 cup mustard seeds
    3 tablespoons celery seeds
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    1 tablespoon ground allspice
Preparation
    Wash tomatoes; cut out stem ends and quarter lengthwise.
    Wash and seed peppers; quarter.
    Peel and quarter onions.
    Process vegetables in a food processor until they are chopped small.
    Place vegetables in a colander over a bowl to drain off liquid (discard liquid).
    Place vegetables in a saucepan with 2 quarts of vinegar; boil, uncovered, 30 minutes, stirring often.
    Strain vegetables again, discarding liquid and return to saucepan.
    Stir in 1 quart vinegar and remaining ingredients; simmer 3 minutes.
    Pour into clean, hot, sterilized preserve jars.
    Fill to within 1 inch of top; seal using your preferred method (my usual method is to scale the recipe down to 1 jar and refrigerate!).
