REC: Carrot and Cucumber Relish
Carrot and Cucumber Relish
by Thelma Hadley (my Auntie) 6 lg cucumbers 6 med carrots (I use 8) 2 med onions 2 Tbl salt 1 c vinegar (I use cider vinegar) 1 c water 2 c sugar 1 1/2 tsp celery seeds 1 1/2 tsp mustard seeds (I like more) Grind all vegetables in meat grinder. Sprinkle with the salt, let stand 3 hours. Drain. Bring vinegar, water and sugar to a boil in a large pan, then add vegetables and spices. Simmer 20-30 minutes. Pour into hot sterilized jars. Makes 2 1/2 pint jars or 6 half pints. I assume this would do fine in a BWB but I don't know how long to process it. Auntie used the paraffin seal method for all her jellies and preserves and such.

This looks very interesting. Probably a dumb questions, but do you peel and/or seed the cucumbers prior to grinding?

Probably a dumb questions, but do you peel and/or seed the cucumbers prior to grinding? TIA Hardly a dumb question, I should have put something in there. It depends on the cukes. If they are fresh and tender, I just slice off the ends and grind them up. If they have thick skins or the skin tastes bitter, or are kind of pithy or woody, then I will peel and scrape the seeds. I like to leave some seeds in when possible, they add another type of texture.
