Time 11h10m

Yield 128

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 large English cucumbers
4 large sweet onions, peeled
¼ cup pickling salt
3 cups white sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon celery seed
3 cups distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
4 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Grate the cucumbers and onions into a large bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle the pickling salt over the top. Cover tightly, and allow to rest at room temperature overnight.
  • Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the cucumber mixture; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, flour, turmeric, ginger, and celery seed. Heat the vinegar and water in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the sugar mixture until smooth. Stir in the cucumber mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process pint jars for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

SWEET RELISH WITH CUCUMBERS AND CAULIFLOWER RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Sweet Relish with Cucumbers and Cauliflower Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by brendaz

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium-sized head of cauliflower
4 lbs cucumbers, with peel
4 medium yellow onions
1 green pepper, seeded
2 sweet red peppers, seeded
1/2 cup course pickling salt
10 cups boiling water
3 cups white vinegar
5 cups white sugar
2 Tbsp. mustard seed
1 Tbsp. turmeric
1 Tbsp. celery seed
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. cold water

Steps:

  • Roughly chop the cucumbers, cauliflower, onions and peppers into chunks. Pulse them through a food processor until they are a fine dice with a few larger pieces to add some texture. Place all the veggies into a large bowl and sprinkle the salt over the top. Add the boiling water, cover the bowl and let it sit on the counter for a couple of hours or even overnight is fine. Drain the mixture well, continuing to press the residual liquid through the strainer until very little remains. Place the mixture into a large pot and add the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, celery seed and turmeric. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Boil gently for 30 minutes. Make a slurry of the cornstarch and water and stir it into the boiling relish. Cook for another minute or two until it thickens slightly. Pour into HOT sterilized pint jars and seal. I personally do not do the boiling water bath method, I simply ensure my jars are really hot when I fill them with the hot mixture and I seal them tightly. Within a couple of hours of resting on the counter each pint jar's seal "popped" so I know they are well sealed before storing. (For added assurance against spoilage you may choose to process the jars by placing them in a pot and cover the jars with water. Bring the water to a boil and process for 10 minutes.) The relish tastes great right away, but the flavors really blend together well as time goes by. We usually open the first jar after a month or so. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest vegetables: The fresher the celery and cucumber, the better the relish will be. Look for vegetables that are crisp and have no blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the vegetables into thin, even slices. This will help the relish to have a more consistent texture.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them soft and mushy.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: The seasonings you use will help to give the relish its unique flavor. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of herbs, spices, and vinegars.
  • Chill the relish before serving: This will help to develop the flavors and make the relish more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Celery and cucumber relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright, refreshing flavor, celery and cucumber relish is a perfect addition to any summer meal.
