Ingredients
  

  • 1 pc. Orange Bell Pepper
  • 1 pc. Yellow Bell Pepper
  • 1 pc. Red Bell Pepper
  • 3 pc. ripe tomatoes, blanched in water and peeled
  • 2 pc. onions coarsely chopped
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 cups white vinegar

Instructions
 

  • To peel tomatoes, mark and "X" at either end of the tomato and blanch in boiling hot water for 45-60 seconds. Immediately transfer to ice water and the peels will easily slip off.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees; Place the peppers on a baking sheet and cook for about 25-30 minutes until they begin  to char slightly. Remove from oven, place in plastic bag and leave to cool.
  • Remove the pepper stems, skins and seeds, then coarsely chop both the tomatoes, peppers, onions. Add all to the food processor and pulse briefly, not till mushy.
  • Transfer to dutch oven or stainless steel saucepan with the sugar and vinegar. Cook over low heat stirring continuously until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer for 1 hour stirring until it gets thick and turns sticky. 
  • Sterilize 6 half pint jars. Ladle mixture into jars, remove air bubbles, refill if needed to 1/2" headspace, clean rims, add hot lids and rings. Process in water bath for 15 minutes at a full boil. 
  • This recipe is great with meats and chicken and is amazingly good on a bagel with cream cheese for a more savory breakfast. You could also pour over cream cheese block and serve with crackers for a great appetizer.
