A very good end-of-the-garden relish! This was originally published in Better Homes & Gardens in August 1948. They reprinted it in September 1997 – updated to make it crisper & less in quantity “for today’s smaller families who lack grandmother’s huge pots & kettles”.
Difficulty: Intermediate
Servings: Makes 6 to 7 half pints or 3 to 4 pints
Ingredients
6 medium green tomatoes, cored & cut up (abt. 2lb./4 cups chopped)
1/2 lb. cabbage, cored & cut up (about 3 cups chopped)
3 medium sweet green peppers, seeded, cut up (abt. 2 1/4 cups chopped)
2 medium sweet red peppers, seeded, cut up (approx. 1 1/2 cups chopped)

2 Tbsp. pickling salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tsp. mustard seed
1 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
1 1/4 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
