Thousand Island Relish

Ingredients

• 6 large cucumbers, peeled
• 6 large onions
• 1 green pepper
• 1 red pepper
• 1/4 cup pickling salt
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup dry mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
• 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
• 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
• 3 cups white vinegar
• 2 1/2 cups water

Directions

1. 1

   In food processor or food chopper with coarse blade, chop vegetables. I find the best way to do this is to coarsley chop the vegetables before putting in the processor, and then pulsing briefly- you want small chunks, not puree.

2. 2

   Sprinkle with salt and add 2 1/2°C cold water. Let stand for 1 hour and drain well.

3. 3

   In large saucepan combine sugar, flour and spices; gradually stir in vineagr and water.

4. 4

   Add drained vegetables and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30-60 minutes, stirring often. Pack into hot sterilized jars leaving 1/8 inch headspace.

5. 5

   Seal immediately, label and store in cool, dry, dark place.
