This is scrumptious. It is my Grandma Florence's, and she called it Hamburger Relish . Simple and easy, I can it in pints and give it for Christmas. I've never found any as good.
Ingredients:
4 quarts ground cucumbers
1 quart ground onion
4 cups ice cubes
5 tablespoons sea salt
6 cups vinegar
6 cups sugar
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
Directions:
1. Combine cukes, onions, ice and salt.
2. Let stand for 2 hours,.
3. then drain.
4. Mix the next 6 ingredients in a large pot.
5. Bring to a boil, add ground cuke mixture, and cook for 20 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.
6. While still hot, seal in sterilized jars.
7. 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.
