Here is a recipe that Mom has made for years. It was one of the favourites in the home-cook pantry and one that rarely lasted very long. Mom always used regular cucumbers from the garden, NOT the typical pickling cucumbers Ingredients:
12 cucumbers (washed but not peeled, seeds removed) |
12 onions, roughly chopped |
1 bunch celery, roughly chopped |
4 green peppers, seeded and roughly chopped |
6 tablespoons table salt |
4 cups white vinegar |
6 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons celery salt |
2 teaspoons mustard seeds |
1 teaspoon turmeric |
1/2 teaspoon green food coloring (optional) |
2 tablespoons flour |
1/2 cup water |
Directions:
1. place a handful of each of the roughly chopped vegetables and a bit of salt in a moulinex fitted with blade and pulse until chopped to relish consistency. Pour into a strainer. Continue until all the vegetables have been chopped. Let vegetables drain for 4 hours.
2. Place strained vegetables into a pot.
3. Mix flour with water and pour into vinegar, mix well. Pour remaining contents of brine into pot with vegetables and bring to a boil. Let simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken slightly.
4. Reduce heat to minimum (to keep relish hot) and pour into hot sterilized jars and seal immediately.
