- Begin by blending the green tomatoes, red and green bell peppers and onions in a blender. Ensure that you get a coarse mixture.
- Once the blend is ready, drain the excess water of the mixture by lining a large colander with muslin or cheesecloth and leave the mixture for about an hour.

- Now pour this tomato relish in sterilized containers and tightly screw the lids.
- Next, fill half of another large container with water and let it boil.
- Then, place the bottles of the tomato relish within the container. Make sure that the bottles are at least two inches apart. The water level should be above the lids of the bottles.
- Bring the water to boil and cover for about half an hour.
- Take out the bottles from the container and leave them on a wooden surface to cool. The bottles should be kept at least five inches away from each other.
- On cooling, make sure the bottles are air-tight. Your green tomato relish is ready.
