[Cal, do these need to be processed? or are they freezer/refrig relishes and not meant to keep for long?

Quick Relish is a mix-n-eat recipe that could be refrigerated for a few days...
On the others - I would suggest reducing the boiling time (just bring it to a good rolling boil) then pack and hot water bath with 10 min for pints and 20 min for quarts.
Today we frown on eating foods where we may have to scrape a bit of mold from the top of our pickles, relish, jellies and jams.
