Dill Pickle Relish

Not exactly the same, but close to purchased dill pickle relishes!

• 14 cups chopped pickling cucumbers (about 5 pounds pickling cucumbers as purchased)
• 2 cups chopped red bell pepper
• 51/2 cups cider vinegar (5%)
• 3 teaspoons dill seed
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 5 tablespoons pickling or canning salt

Yield: About 7 pint jars

Please read Using Boiling Water Canners before beginning. If this is your first time canning, it is recommended that you read Principles of Home Canning.

Procedure:

1. Wash and rinse pint canning jars; keep hot until ready to use. Prepare lids and bands according to manufacturer's directions.
2. Prepare cucumbers and peppers by first washing them well.  After washing the cucumbers, slice a thin piece from both the stem and blossom ends and discard.  Cut into about 1-inch pieces and then chop in a food processor (using about 3 to 4 short pulses on "chop") to yield 1/4-inch or smaller pieces.  Measure 14 cups of the chopped cucumber.
3. After washing the peppers, remove the stem, seeds and white membranes.  Cut into about 1-inch pieces or slices and then chop in a food processor (using about 3 to 4 pulses on "chop") to yield about 1/4-inch or slightly smaller pieces.  Measure 2 cups of the chopped pepper.
4. Combine chopped cucumbers and bell peppers and set aside.
5. In a large stockpot, stir together the cider vinegar, dill seed, minced garlic and pickling salt, until the salt dissolves. Add chopped vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
6. Fill hot relish into clean, hot pint jars leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Make sure liquid covers the top of the food pieces. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened, clean paper towel; apply two-piece metal canning lids.
7. Process in a boiling water canner according to the recommendations below.  Let cool, undisturbed, 12 to 24 hours and check for seals.
