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?

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.

I'll do that.

If it turns out well for me, I may enter a jar in the Arizona State Fair in
October. I will include "Auntie Thel" in the name of the relish.
