Sweet Relish
20-medium onions or 3 lbs.
2 lbs. sweet peppers
6 large cucumbers or 4 lbs.
1 can of pimentos (drained)
3/4 cups pickling salt
4 cups cold water
4 cups vinegar white
1 package celery
7 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon mustard seed (optional)
Put cucumbers, onions and peppers through coarse food chopper. Dice pimento and celery. Put all in large bowl.
Add pickling salt and water and let stand 4 hours. Drain thoroughly.
Make syrup with white sugar, vinegar, and mustard seed. Bring to a boil. Add drained vegetables.
Simmer 10 minutes.
Put in jars and seal.
If it’s a green relish you are looking for, omit the mustard seed as it will turn it yellow.
