Steps:
- Set up a large pot with a steamer insert and steam the franks until warm, about 5 minutes. When the franks are almost done, place the buns on top of the franks to steam, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the franks in the buns and top each with some of the onions, 2 peppers, some Homemade Bread and Butter Relish and slather with mustard. To serve, top the franks with a handful of Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, wrap each frank in foil and let steam, 2 to 3 minutes, before eating. Eat on the towel-lined trunk of a car.
- Combine the pickles, peppers and sugar in a bowl and mix well. Serve.
- Fill a 6-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven two-thirds of the way full with oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
- Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Fry the potatoes in batches, until golden brown, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with celery salt and serve immediately.

LYNDA'S FAVORITE ZUCCHINI HOT DOG RELISH

Steps:
- 1. Grind 10 cups of zucchini and place in large pot (with a lid). Add the salt and garlic salt. Cover with cold water and soak overnight. (I add lots of ice cubes and place pot in a cool place. If not, put it in the fridge!)
- 2. The following morning, drain and rinse well in a large colander. Return to pot and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Seal in jars while the relish is very hot.
- 3. Place jars in canning pot and cover with water. Boil the submerged jars for at least 15-20 minutes to make sure seals are airtight. Remove jars from canning pot with tongs and place on a towel in your sink until they cool (this prevents jars from cracking).
- 4. After opening a jar of relish, store opened jars in the fridge!

Steps:
- 1. Wash and cut vegetables in large chunks. Old method uses a hand grinder, but I do it now in my KA food processor. Grind all ingredients and place in a large stainless steel kettle. Add 1/2 cup table salt; cover and let stand overnight. Then, rinse well in strainer/colander. Return to kettle.
- 2. Combine all syrup ingredients in glass or stainless steel bowl, then add to rinsed vegetables in kettle. Heat to almost boiling, then let simmer 3 minutes.
- 3. Wash pint jars in hot, soapy water to sterilize. Boil lids & rings in hot water. Put relish into hot sterile jars, leave about 1" headspace and wipe rims well. Place lids and rings on, making sure they are tightly sealed. Set on rack or towels, let cool. As they seal, you will hear lids popping. Store in cool place.
- 4. We always at least double this recipe, sometimes triple it if all vegetables are available. Can also put in quart jars, if desired.
