Sweet Cucumber Relish - Canning

I tried this sweet pickle relish recipe made by a friend at a picnic. Since I had a plethora of cucumbers this year, I made four pints of this relish for the pantry.



Sweet Cucumber Relish

1/3 cup pickling salt
12 cups coarsely shredded cucumber (or zucchini)
2 green peppers, coarsely grated
2 sweet red peppers chopped
4 cups coarsely grated onion
1 tsp. turmeric powder
1 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. celery seed
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 cups vinegar
4 1/2 cups sugar

In a large enamel or stainless pan, mix pickling salt into vegetables. Let stand overnight. Drain, rinse with cold water, and return to the pan. Mix together rest of the ingredients and add to the vegetables. Boil 20 minutes. Pour into sterilized jars. Process in water bath canner for 10 minutes. Makes 12 pints.
