This is the only relish I will ever eat. It's not even comparable to that green stuff in the store. It shouldn't even have the same name.
8 cups cucumbers, chopped
1 cup onions, chopped
2 cups red sweet peppers, chopped
2 cups green sweet peppers, chopped
1 tablespoon turmeric
1/2 cup pickling salt
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 chili peppers
4 cups sugar
4 cups vinegar
Combine the chopped vegetables and sprinkle with the turmeric.
Dissolve salt in 8 cups of cool water and pour it over the vegetables.
Let stand 3-4 hours and then drain. Cover vegetables w/ cool water and
let stand for 1 hour. Drain.
Mix sugar and vinegar and heat to boiling. Pour the boiled mixture
over the vegetables and add the other spices. Let stand 12-18 hours.
Simmer until hot (don't let it cook, want it crispy). If too dry add
more vinegar and bring to boil again. Pack into jars.
