Ingredients
- 4 cups finely chopped cucumbers
- 2 cups finely chopped onion
- 3/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 3/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup pickling salt or kosher salt
- 1 3/4 cups cider vinegar
- 3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
- 2 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers. Sprinkle with the salt and mix well. Let the mixture stand for 1 hour to draw out excess moisture.
- After 1 hour, transfer the vegetable mixture to a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt. Press out any remaining liquid and set aside.
- In a large pot, combine the cider vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the drained vegetable mixture to the pot and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the relish to a clean container, using a slotted spoon to remove excess liquid, then seal in airtight containers and refrigerate.
