How to can relish ingredients and keep the items crispy?

Question

I have a recipe with these ingredients - tomato, relish, dill pickle, mustard, peperoncini, onion.  I need to can the recipe but dont want the ingredients to cook and become mushy.

Hmm, sorry must've missed "dill pickle" in the ingredient list when I thought giardiniera... Scratch that as a starting point. Nevertheless, still highly recommend you take the time to find an established recipe.

Meaghan F. · Answer

DIY canning without a trusted recipe can be risky, especially when vegetables are involved... My first instinct is to suggest that you scour the web and/or the local library's cookbook section for tested similar recipes as I'm sure they're out there; what you describe is very similar to Italian giardiniera.
