Excellent recipe, has a great flavor. A wonderful accompaniment to meats, especially pork. Easy to make with a food processor. I substituted yellow peppers for a couple of the green for even more color. You can adjust the veggies, using less peppers and more cabbage or green tomatoes, for example. Do not use less onions, however. Process for 10 minutes in a hot water bath. Thanks Dave, this is the best!!
