How To Make sweet pickle relish
-
1In a food processor, finely chop the cucumbers, peppers, onion, and celery, being careful not to grind them into puree.
-
2Pour the veggies into a large bowl and add your salt. Cover with water and let stand out of the way for about 5 hours.
-
3After you have let them sit for the desired time, drain well, pressing the mixture to remove all the liquid. This part takes a little while, but be patient....you will love the results!
-
4Combine the remaining ingredients in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil. Be careful not to take to deep a breath over the pot, the vinegar smell will get strong for a little bit.
-
5Continue stirring until all of the sugar has dissolved. Add the vegetable mixture to the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes.
-
6Pack into hot, sterilized jars leaving 1/2 inch head space, always remembering to clean the rim of each jar to remove any relish that may prevent the jars from sealing properly. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
