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.
