I absolutely hate peppers. Will this recipe work well if I just leave them out?

Sure would like to know how you get a yield of 6 pints. I followed the recipe precisely and got 3 pints.

This is really good. I doubled the recipe and took the advice of another reviewer and reduced the syrup to half. Perfect amount of liquid in the relish. This is a keeper. Great recipe.
