This is Little Rooster...He is one happy boy...why you ask?
Today was SWEET RELISH day at our house. Little Rooster can't eat anything with smothering it in SWEET RELISH. Today we bottled 48 pints, enough to last us awhile. It is a wonderful recipe one that has been passed through our community for many years. A tried and true recipe. Cucumbers are abundant right now, so the time was right.
Little Rooster's Favorite Sweet Relish24 lg. cucumbers - unpeeled
8 lg. onions
8 lg. green peppers
1 lg. red pepper
*grind above ingredients and drain juice. I have an attachment to my Kitchen Aid, that is a food grinder, it works great. After liquid is drained, place in a large stock pot and add:
1 T. turmeric
8 T. salt
4 tsp. mustard seed
8 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. powdered cloves
10 c. sugar
1 1/2 qts. apple cider vinegar
Boil all together for 20 minutes. Hot pack in sterile jars and steam process for 10 minutes.
