Time 4h55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 qt cored and chopped green tomatoes (about 32 medium)
2 qt chopped cabbage (1 lg head)
2 c chopped green peppers
1 c chopped onions
3 medium chopped carrots
1/2 c canning salt
1 1/2 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp mustard seed
1 Tbsp celery seed
1 Tbsp prepared horseradish
4 1/2 c white vinegar
AFTER LETTING THIS SIT FOR A WHILE, WHEN I OPENED THE FIRST JAR, I FOUND IT WAS A BIT TOO TART/VINEGARY, SO I BELIEVE NEXT YEAR I WILL CUT THE VINEGAR BY 1/2 C AND UP THE BROWN SUGAR BY 1/2 C. THIS MAY GIVE IT A LESS SHARP FLAVOR.

Steps:

1. Prepare all the veggies by washing, coring, deseeding and chopping in the food processor to small chunks but not pureed. Place all veggies in a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Mix thoroughly and let stand for 3 to 4 hours.
2. Drain veggies, rinse and drain again thoroughly. Combine sugar, vinegar, horseradish and spices in a large saucepot. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add drained veggies and bring to a boil.
3. Pack relish into sterilized hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust two piece lids.
4. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. Remove jars to cloth lined countertop, cover with towel, and leave until all are sealed.
