- Ready In:
- 10hrs 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 14
- Yields:
-
12 500ml bottles
ingredients
- 12 cucumbers, peeled and seeded (I leave the peel on a few of the tender ones)
- 10 onions
- 2 sweet red peppers
- 3 green bell peppers
- 1⁄2 cup pickling salt
- 1⁄2 gallon boiling water
- 3 cups cider vinegar
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon celery seed
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups cider vinegar
directions
- Grind and drain the vegetables. Put them in a large bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup of pickling salt to the 1/2 gallon of boiling water and pour the whole mixture over the vegetables. Let stand covered on the counter over night.
- Sterilize your bottles, lids and utensils.
- In a large pot mix the 4 cups of sugar, turmeric, mustard seed and celery seed with a whisk until well mixed, then add the 3 cups of cider vinegar. Add the drained vegetables and bring to a boil.
- In a separate bowl, sift the cornstarch and remaining 2 cups of sugar until well combined. Add the remaining 2 cups of cider vinegar. Whisk until the dry mix is dissolved.
- Gently add and stir the cornstarch mixture into the vegetable mixture and cook for 20 minutes to thicken.
- Ladle the hot relish into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace and seal. While my family has always said it's not necessary, I hot water bath them for 10 minutes as an added precaution.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm teased by my husband, children and sister in laws because I'm fussy, and my (super fussy)mother's daughter, therefore I'm known as a food snob- really I just like good food and don't like to use too many prepackaged, fast food type ingredients. If I can make it from scratch, I like to at least try. I like to search out the 'best' (completely subjective ;) version of a recipe to be found.If I have to eat it, I figure it might as well taste awesome otherwise how else can I justify the extra 30lbs?
