Relish Recipe
2 pts of carrots; sliced
2 pts of pickles (sweet, small)
3 pts of lima beans
1 cabbage head; sliced to pcs
4 pts of cauliflower; cut to pcs
2 c of water & juice from the celery

1 pt of yellow corn (canned)
8 c of sugar (granulated)
4 c of vinegar (white)
4 tsps of salt (table)
Inside a huge pot that has warm water, simply cook your cauliflowers, cabbages, lima-beans and peppers till they reach a very tender stage. Drain the rest of the water then set them aside. Then using just the exact same pot, simply cook your celery using two cups of boiled water till they’re also tender and softened.
Drain juice of the celery into a small bowl then set them aside. Then add in celery into your 1st veggie mix. Drain the pickles then reserve the juice later for another purpose. Add in sweet tasting pickles, drained up onions together with your vegetables then mix them well.
Inside your pot, blend in together the sugar, vinegar, sweet tasting juice of pickles, juice of celery, two cups containing water & salt. Allow this kind of mixture be brought to boil while stirring in mixed vegetables that were already cooked. The mixture should reach boiling point and once they’ve boiled inside the pot for about two minutes then turn the heat off.
Ladle your relish onto very clean, sterilized and hot jars. I prefer using those wide-mouth pint sized jars intended for the purpose of canning for this fabulous relish. The recipe makes about 15 pints sized jars.
If you’re wanting to give them as holiday gifts, just tie a colorful ribbon around the rim of the glass jars then tie it up into a bow and you now have a festive gift that you can give as presents to your friends. They’d appreciate the effort as well as the delicious taste of this relish.
