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!

I wasn't a fan of this recipe. It was too sweet and the texture was weird.

This recipe is a little bit sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
