This season I made a double batch of relish from a recipe shared @ Annie's Kitchen Garden. I changed the recipe a bit to make a 100% cucumber relish which is posted below. If you are looking for a cucumber, pepper, onion relish please click the link above for the original recipe.8 cups finely chopped cucumber
1/4 cup pickling salt
3 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 tablespoon turmeric
2 cups cider vinegar
Use large slicing cucumbers and about 20 to get the full 8 cups. Clean the cucumbers well, slice into quarters and scope out all seeds. The skin was left on to color the relish green.
Grind or chop cucumbers into in a large bowl; sprinkle with salt and cover with cold water, I used a couple trays of ice as well.
Let stand 2 hours. Drain; rinse and drain thoroughly
Combine sugar, spices and vinegar in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil. Add drained vegetables; Return to boil and simmer 10 minutes.
Pack hot relish into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath.
7 liter(7 quart) basket of baby cucumbers
4 cups white vinegar
8 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup pickling salt
14 large cloves of garlic, chopped
14 dill flowers
Scrupulously clean the baby cucumbers, I do this in the sink with a little dish soap and a brush. Then rinsed well a few times.
Add the vinegar, water & salt into a large pot and bring to the boil.
Well the solution is coming to the boil start packing hot sterilized jars with the baby cucumbers make sure each jar also gets two heads of dill and two cloves of chopped garlic.
Now top up the jars with the hot vinegar solution leavening 1/4" head space, tighten the two piece lid on and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
Pickles are at their best after the have been shelved for about a month and will keep for years in a dry dark place.
After making the baby dills I had enough cucumbers left for two more jars. I decided to cut them length wise and make Bread & Butter pickles. The recipe is coming for these, it was out of a library book that I will need to borrow again for the recipe. They turned out really well so the recipe is a keeper. They have a good balance of sweet and sour as well as a nice spice level.
