Steps:
- Combine cucumbers, onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a large bowl; add salt and pour in enough cold water to cover. Allow to soak for 2 hours. Thoroughly drain in a colander.
- Pour vinegar into a large, heavy stainless steel pot; add celery seed and mustard seed. Stir sugar into mixture and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the drained vegetable mixture and return to a boil, about 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or 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 and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until 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.

POTATO SALAD WITH SWEET RELISH
The recipe for this Southern classic came from the chef Millie Peartree's mother, Millie Bell. The sweet relish melds with the creamy potatoes for a deep, balanced flavor. Onion powder adds savory notes without the texture of diced onion, which could overpower the dish. Make sure that your eggs are rinsed thoroughly, so no pieces of shell remain, and that your potatoes are uniformly cut in roughly 1-inch cubes so they all finish cooking at the same time. (Millie Bell used her thumb as a measure.) And, most important of all, don't overcook the potatoes: You want potato salad, not mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
- As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
- Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.

Steps:
- The peppers could be all one color, the combination just makes it pretty. Wash the peppers and peel the onions. Chop the peppers up in a blender or food processor or by hand. If you use a blender add some water so the pieces will chop freely. Do NOT over chop, you just want them in small pieces, not into mush. Drain the excess water off after chopping. Put the peppers in a large saucepan. Do the same with the onions. Chop and drain. Add the onions to the peppers and mix well. Pour enough boiling water to cover the mixture. Let it stand for about 5 minutes. Do not drain the water off. Add vinegar, sugar and salt. Mix well, bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Pour into canning jars and process in a hot bath for 5 minutes. Be sure to keep one jar out to eat! This is WONDERFUL with any kind of meat.

Steps:
- Roast red, green, and yellow bell peppers over an open flame or in broiler, turning frequently, until skins are charred and blistered. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic; let sit 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skins. Cut peppers in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds and stem, and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
- Place grated onions in a colander to drain liquid. Place them in a large bowl, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Mix by hand. Mix in cabbage and 3 tablespoons salt by hand. Let sit 1 hour.
- Place onions and cabbage into colander, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place in cheese cloth or towel, and squeeze out additional water.
- Place cabbage and onions into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add roasted bell peppers. Stir in sugar, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, mustard seed, and celery seed. Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly to prevent onions from sticking to the bottom. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring often.
- To prepare jars you first need to wash jars then place them into the canning pot with rack and boil them in water to sterilize them. Fill a small pot half way with water and bring to simmer; place the lids into water. Taking one jar out of the water at a time put on canning funnel and fill with hot relish about 1/2 inch from the top. Then take a kitchen knife a stick down to the bottom of jar and work the knife around to remove all air bubbles. Wipe off top of jar very well and clean then place a hot lid on jar the screw ring on top. Repeat until all relish is gone. Jars and relish must stay hot throughout this canning process.
- Place in a bath of simmering water, covering the jars by one inch. Process for 10 minutes, or according to your local extension's guidelines. When jars start to seal and vacuum, the lids will make a pop sound and your canning was a success. Once jars have been opened, store in the refrigerator and use within two weeks.

Steps:
- Combine cukes, onions, ice and salt.
- Let stand for 2 hours,.
- then drain.
- Mix the next 6 ingredients in a large pot.
- Bring to a boil, add ground cuke mixture, and cook for 20 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.
- While still hot, seal in sterilized jars.
- As far as preparation time, I use Grandma's old hand grinder, so I'm sure it would be much faster with a motorized food grinder.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and ripe ingredients: High-quality ingredients will result in a tastier relish. Look for firm, brightly colored cucumbers, sweet onions, and crisp peppers.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the vegetables evenly and avoid bruising them.
- Be patient: Making relish takes time. Allow the relish to simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to develop its full flavor.
- Store relish properly: Store relish in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze relish for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Sweet relish is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It adds a sweet and tangy flavor to sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and salads. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for vegetables or crackers. With so many different ways to use it, sweet relish is a must-have in any kitchen.
