Steps:

• Wearing rubber or latex gloves, trim tops off chiles. Working in batches, pulse chiles, bell peppers, and onion in a food processor until chopped into fine bits, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to a nonreactive 3-quart pot.
• Stir sugar, vinegar, and salt into chile mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring more frequently toward end of cooking to prevent scorching, until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour or ladle relish into clean, wide-mouth, half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Apply clean lids. Enjoy immediately, store in fridge 2 to 3 weeks, or freeze up to 6 months.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, water, celery seed and mustard.
• 2. Over medium-high heat bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar, then boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• 3. Using a food processor, finely grate the green cabbage, carrot and bell peppers.
• 4. Place the finely grated vegetables into a large bowl, stir in salt and set aside for 1 hour.
• 5. Drain vegetables but do not rinse. Add the cooled dressing, reserving 1/4 cup, and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight, both slaw and reserved dressing.
• 6. Before serving uncover slaw and give it a good stir. If it's swimming in juice drain it but keep it moist. Add the 1/4 cup reserved dressing to brighten it back up.
