- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer.
- Allow the mixture to simmer until it reaches the desired thickness, typically around 3 to 5 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
-
Sterilize the Jars:
- While the relish is cooking, prepare your pint jars by washing them thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
- Rinse the jars well, then sterilize them by boiling in a large pot of water for at least 10 minutes.
-
Canning Process:
- Once the relish has reached the desired thickness, remove the cinnamon stick and clove.
- Carefully ladle the hot relish into the hot, sterilized pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
- Wipe the jar rims with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue.
- Place the lids and rings on the jars, tightening them just until fingertip-tight.
-
Processing the Jars:
- Place the filled jars into a boiling water bath canner, ensuring they are covered by at least 1 inch of water.
- Bring the water back to a rolling boil, then process the jars for 15 minutes.
- After processing, carefully remove the jars from the canner and place them on a clean towel to cool.
-
Final Steps:
- Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid does not move or make a popping sound, the jar is sealed.
- Label the jars with the date and store them in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
