Sweet Pepper and Cucumber Relish

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.

Salmon Stuffed Peppers

Quick and easy lunch or snack:

1 small can salmon (6-7 oz.)
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish (I personally find the store-bought versions repulsive, so here is a recipe for homemade relish: The ONLY Relish I Will Ever Eat).
2 green or red bell peppers.

Combine salmon and pickle relish in small bowl. Halve peppers, and remove the seeds and pith. Spoon salmon mixture into peppers.
