What each ingredient does

Green tomatoes
Provide the bulk of the relish and its fresh, tart body.
White onion
Adds savory depth and aroma as it softens in the hot brine.
Banana peppers
Add mild heat and a bright, slightly sweet vegetable flavor.
Sugar
Sweetens the relish and balances the acidity of the vinegar.
White vinegar
Provides the acidity that tenderizes the vegetables and helps preserve the relish.

The step that matters

Bring to a full boil. The mixture must reach a full rolling boil so the vegetables cook through and the vinegar and sugar brine is hot enough to help keep the relish stable in sealed jars.
