THE BEST RELISH I'VE EVER HAD
This is the relish recipe I remember from my childhood. Light green in color, and unbelievably good on hot dogs, you won't be disappointed. It's an easy recipe for beginners, even if you have never canned a thing in your life.

Steps:
- Grate the cucumbers and onions into a large bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle the pickling salt over the top. Cover tightly, and allow to rest at room temperature overnight.
- Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the cucumber mixture; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, flour, turmeric, ginger, and celery seed. Heat the vinegar and water in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the sugar mixture until smooth. Stir in the cucumber mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process pint jars for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED SWEET RELISH
This is scrumptious. It is my Grandma Florence's, and she called it "Hamburger Relish". Simple and easy, I can it in pints and give it for Christmas. I've never found any as good.

Steps:
- Process the cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers in the food processor to create a coarse grind.
- Pour the ground veggies into a large pot and add the water and salt to the pot, stirring well to combine.
- Cover and let sit overnight or for at least 12 hours.
- The next day, drain the veggies well and return them to the pot.
- Add the vinegar, turmeric, celery seed, mustard seed and sugar.
- Stir everything together very well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil for at least 1/2 hour, stirring regularly.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in a tablespoon or so of water and add it to the mixture.
- Stir it in well, and reduce the heat. Continue to cook the relish for another 15 minutes or so or until it thickens slightly.
- Sterilize your jars and lids according to proper canning procedures.
- Add the mixture to the jars leaving about 1/2 inch of room at the top of each jar. Add the lids.
- Process the filled jars in a pot of boiling water for at least 5 minutes (you may need a rack at the bottom of the pot to prevent the jars from sitting on the bottom of the pot where they may crack or break).
- When the jars have finished processing, remove them to a wooden board to cool completely. Any lids that have not popped down (indicating a proper seal) should be stored in the fridge and consumed within 1.5 months.
- Properly sealed jars can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
