Sweet Pickle Relish image

After much experimentation with ingredients and ratios, this is my favorite sweet pickle relish. I usually can it when the burpless cukes from the garden get away from me.

Time 5h

Yield 3 pints, 96 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups cucumbers, deseeded and chopped
2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup kosher salt
3 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups cider vinegar
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon mustard seeds

Steps:

  • To deseed cucumbers, I cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with my finger.
  • I chop the unpeeled cucumbers as well as the other vegetables with a Pampered Chef chopper.
  • Put all the vegetables in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle the salt over the chopped vegetables.
  • Cover with cold water and let stand for 2 hours.
  • Drain vegetables well, then press out as much liquid as possible.
  • In a large pot, combine sugar, vinegar and seeds.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Add vegetables.
  • Bring back to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, put into pint jars according to standard canning procedures.
  • (Note: Although some of the brine needs to go in the jars, I use a slotted spoon to keep it from being too soupy.).
  • Process in a hot water bath according to your altitude (10 minutes for up 50 1000 ft.).
