Sweet Pickle Relish

1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup kosher salt
3 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups cider vinegar

Put all the vegetables in a large bowl. Sprinkle the salt over the chopped vegetables. Cover with cold water and let stand for 2 hours. Drain vegetables well, then press out as much liquid as possible. In a large pot, combine sugar, vinegar and seeds. Bring to a boil. Add vegetables. Bring back to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, put into pint jars according to standard canning procedures.(Note: Although some of the brine needs to go in the jars, I use a slotted spoon to keep it from being too soupy.).
