This is the sweet pickle relish that I grew up on. We used it on everything from burgers and hot dogs to adding it to meatloaf and tuna salad. 100 times better than anything you can buy in the store! I usually core the cucumbers with a spoon before grinding them up, just my preference as I don't like the appearance\texture of the seeds. Also, I add a bit of turmeric (1 tsp?) for color. Thanks for posting this!

I tried 3 new cucumber relish recipes this summer and this one was my favorite. Tastes good and smells wonderful when you open the jar, very fresh!! East to make (I used a food processor) and a very good recipe, thanks BB!!
