  2. 2 Pour cold water over tomatoes and onions; set aside for 1 hour.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, place peppercorns, cloves, allspice berries, mustard seeds, and ground mustard in a small cheesecloth bag.
  4. 4 Inspect 8 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until pickle mixture is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  5. 5 Drain tomatoes and onions.
  6. 6 Stir vinegar and brown sugar together in a large pot until well combined; add tomatoes, onions, 2 minced red bell peppers, lemon slices, and spice-filled cheesecloth sachet. Bring to a low boil over low heat; simmer for 30 minutes, checking frequently, you may need to pull the pot off the heat occasionally to prevent scorching. Discard spice sachet.
  7. 7 Pack hot pickle mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Arrange thin strips of 1 red bell pepper vertically along sides of jars. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  8. 8 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 minutes.
  9. 9 Remove jars from the stockpot and cool completely, several inches apart. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Refrigerate any jars that haven't sealed completely. Remove rings for storage and store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place.
