Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cucumbers (about 1 quart)
  • 2 cups onions (chopped; 2 medium)
  • 1 cup green pepper (chopped; about 1 medium)
  • 1 cup red pepper (chopped; about 1 medium)
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 3 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon celery seed
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seed
  • 2 cups apple cider vinegar

Instruction

  • Sterilize your jars by placing them in a large pot. Cover with warm water until the are submerged with 1 inch of water over them. Bring to a rolling boil and boil them for 10 -15 minutes. Turn off heat and allow jars to sit in hot water until you are ready to use them.
  • Fill a small pan with water and add jar lids and rings. Place pan on the stovetop over low to medium heat and bring water to at least 180 degrees. A candy or meat thermometer works great for this.
  • Using a food processor or a sharp knife chop cucumbers, onions, green & red peppers.
  • Place veggies in a large bowl. Sprinkle vegetables with salt and cover with cold water. Allow to sit for at least 2 hours.
  • Drain, rinse, and drain again thoroughly so you are able to get out as much water as you can.
  • Combine sugar, spices and vinegar in a large pot and bring to a boil
  • Add the drained vegetables and simmer for about 10 minutes
  • Ladle the hot relish into your hot sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch at the top. Be sure to remove any air bubbles and secure your lids to the tops of the jars.
  • This recipe makes about 4 pints or 8 half pints of relish
