MIZ NELLIE’S END-OF-SUMMER RELISH
This is an old recipe from my childhood days in Southern Indiana.

4 cups onions, ground
4 cups green tomatoes, ground
4 cups cabbage, ground
5 1/2 cups green bell peppers, ground
3 cups red bell peppers, ground
4 cups cucumbers, ground
1/2 cup salt
1 tbsp celery seeds
6 cups sugar
2 tbsp mustard seed
1 1/2 tsp tumeric
4 cups cider vinegar
2 cups cold water

After grinding the vegetables, place them in either a stainless steel or enameled pot; add the salt. Let stand overnight in the refrigerator.

Next day, pour off the liquid from the vegetables. Rinse well and drain again. Add to vegetables the celery seed, sugar, mustard seed, turmeric, vinegar, and cold water. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Pack into 8 hot pint jars. Seal and place in a hot water bath and process for 3 minutes.

BELL PEPPER RELISH
This is another old Hoosier recipe.

18 bell peppers (use a mixture of red and green), chopped
1 large head of cabbage, shredded
2 tbsp celery seed
2 tsp mustard seed
2 tsp salt
2 cups white vinegar
1 quart apple cider vinegar

Mix all ingredients together in a large saucepan or stockpot and bring to a boil; let stand for 20 minutes. Seal in sterilized jars. Make sure jars seal or place in refrigerator.

Enjoy!
