2. Chop Bell Peppers: Wash and chop the bell peppers into small pieces. You can use a variety of colors for a visually appealing relish.

3. Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the chopped bell peppers, cider vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, and celery seed. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.

4. Bring to Boil: Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

5. Simmer: Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the peppers to soften.

6. Prepare Jars: While the relish is simmering, prepare your canning jars by washing them thoroughly and sterilizing them with hot water.

7. Fill Jars: Once the relish is done simmering, carefully pour the hot mixture into the prepared, hot sterilized canning jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top.

8. Adjust Lids: Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any spills or residue. Place the lids on the jars and screw on the bands until they are fingertip tight.

9. Process in Water Bath: Place the filled jars in a boiling-water bath canner, ensuring they are fully submerged in water. Process the jars for 15 minutes, maintaining a gentle boil throughout the process.

10. Cool and Store: After processing, carefully remove the jars from the water bath using jar lifters and place them on a towel-lined countertop. Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature.

11. Check Seals: Once the jars are cool, check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid springs back, the jar is not properly sealed and should be refrigerated and consumed within a few weeks. Properly sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

12. Enjoy: Your homemade Sweet Bell Pepper Relish is now ready to enjoy! Serve it alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, cheese platters, or anything else that could use a pop of flavor.
