Cucumber Relish

 I have an abundance of cucumbers 

in my garden this year and

 decided to use them to make some pickles.

Great on hotdogs, hamburgers or a side dish.

Ingredients:

7 cups peeled, finely chopped cucumbers

4 cups each, finely chopped green and 

red peppers, (about 3 each)

2 cups finely chopped celery

1 cup chopped onions

1/2 cup pickling salt

2 1/4 cups granulated sugar

3 cups white vinegar

3 tbsp. each celery seed and mustard seed.

Combine prepared cucumbers, peppers, celery,

onions and pickling salt in a large glass or

stainless steel bowl or pot, Cover and let

stand for 4 hrs.

Drain vegetable mixture through cheesecloth 

lined sieve. Rinse with cool water, drain again

squeezing out excess liquid.

Combine sugar, vinegar, celery seed and

mustard seed in a large stainless steel saucepan.

Mix well, bringing to a boil.

Add vegetables.  Stirring frequently return

to a boil and boil gently 10 minutes.

Pour into sterilized jars and store in

a cool dark place. 

Enjoy.
