How to Make Fresh Sweet Pickle Relish

---

Keeps Well in the Fridge for a Month or More!

I love this recipe, is it so easy to make and it is delicious on hot dogs, in tuna salad and even on sub sandwiches.  A great way to use some of those delicious cukes you will be picking in a few months!

Ingredients:

I do all my chopping and mincing with a food processor,
it saves a lot of time.

• Approximately 20, 4 to 5 inch pickling cucumbers

• 1 sweet onion, minced
  
• 1  sweet red or green bell pepper, minced
  
• 2 tablespoons pickling salt
• 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
  
• 1/4 cup sugar  (I use coconut palm sugar)
  
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced
  
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
