Green Tomato Relish

4 quarts tomato ( 24-28 medium )
2 quarts onions
1 quart vinegar
3-4 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup mixed pickling spice
1/2 cup pickling salt
2 peppers ( red or green ) option

Slice the tomatoes and onions thinly and
arrange them alternately in a large bowl.
Sprinkle layers with salt.
Weigh down with a plate and let stand
overnight.  Drain well from brime and
rinse it with cold water.  Squeeze it
with your hands dry.  It will be too
watery if you don't and weaken taste.

Add the vinegar, sugar and spice ( tied
in a bag ).  Cook very slowly until
onions and tomatoes are very tender,
thick and dark in color, stirring all
the time as this burns easily.
Seal in jars.
