Great Grandma Stauber's Cucumber Relish
Ingredients:
1 dozen large cucumbers peeled, seeded and chopped
4 green peppers, finely chopped
2 red peppers, finely chopped
4 large onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup pickling salt or kosher salt
1 cup horseradish
1 1/2 cups natural brown sugar
1 tsp celery seed
2 tbsp mustard seed
cold white vinegar to cover
Directions:
Peel, core and chop cucumbers.
Add 1/4 cup salt to chopped cucumbers.
The original recipe says to place in a sack and allow to drain overnight. I put them in a colander over a large bowl, covered and allowed to drain overnight. You will have a large amount of water in the bowl the next morning. Drain and rinse cucumbers in an ice cold water, filling the bowl. Drain well. This helps to remove the excess salt.
Chop peppers and onions. Add to cucumbers. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, horseradish, celery seed and mustard seed. Let sit at room temperature until sugar dissolves. Add to cucumber mixture and then add enough vinegar to cover.
Bottle in your favorite jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks, freeze or give as gifts to friends.
