This came from my mom, who got it from her mom. I like it because it has a great balance of sweet and sour, unlike store bought relishes that are either way too sweet or way to sour. Ingredients:
3 lbs onions |
1 medium cabbage |
10 green tomatoes |
12 green peppers |
6 red sweet peppers |
1/2 cup salt |
6 cups sugar |
1 tablespoon celery seed |
4 cups vinegar |
2 cups water |
15 drops green food coloring (aprox) |
Directions:
1. Finely chop onions, cabbage, tomatoes, and peppers.
2. This can be either with a food processor or with a blender.
3. Chunk the vegetables to fill the blender 1/2 full, then filling with water.
4. Combine salt and vegetables in a large pot with enough water to cover and let sit over night.
5. Squeeze as much of the water out as possible.
6. You can use cheesecloth for this.
7. For low sodium version the mixture can be rinsed and drained well.
8. Combine sugar, celery seed, vinegar, and water.
9. Bring to a boil.
10. Add vegetables and food coloring to give it a more appealing appearance.
11. Bring to a boil.
