Hot Dog Relish

Hot Dog Relish   This recipe came from my mom.  She got it many many years ago from a

                             church bake sale.

                             I love this recipe, but if I had read the ingredients before tasting it I would

                             have never made it.  I think it sound terrible.

4 cups coarse ground onion

4 cups coarse ground green cabbage (about 1 medium head)

4 cups coarse ground green tomatoes (about 10)

6 coarse ground sweet red peppers

1/2 cup salt

6 cups sugar

1 Tbsp. celery seed

2 Tbsp mustard seed

1 1/2 tsp turmeric

4 cups cider vinegar

2 cups water

Grind vegetables using coarse blade.  Sprinkle with salt and let stand overnight.  Rinse and drain.

Combine remaining ingredients and pour over vegetable mixture.  Heat to boiling and simmer 3 minutes.  Seal in hot sterile jars.  Process 10 minutes.  Makes 8 pints.  This processing time is for 4500 ft elev.

NOTE:  I use my food processer with the knife blade and grind small amounts at a time.  Do not let the vegetable pieces get to small.  Think of how store bought relish looks.
