* Exported from MasterCook * Chop Suey Relish--(Nanny's Recipe) Recipe By : Sherilyn's Family Recipe Collection Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Relishes Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 12 lg Green tomatoes -- minced 8 lg Onions -- minced 6 lg Cucumbers -- minced 4 c White vinegar 6 c Granulated sugar 2 ts Dry mustard 1 ts Curry powder 1 ts Tumeric 1 ts Pepper (optional) 1/2 c White flour -- up to 3/4 c 1/2 c Pickling salt This recipe is approximately 100 years old. In my Nanny's day, the vegetables were minced by putting through a grinder. I found that pulsing the vegetables with a large blade in the food processor also works very well and is a faster method. Probably the relish is not as fine processed this way instead of a mincer--but, it takes a lot less time. Do not over process or the vegetables will be mushy! Following either mincing or processing the vegetables, sprinkle with 1/2 cup MAXIMUM coarse (pickling) salt and let stand overnight. Drain well in the morning (as a precaution, I also rinsed the vegetables with cold water and then pressed the liquid from the vegetables). Add vinegar, sugar, and all spices. Bring to a boil and simmer until soft. I let the relish simmer approximately 2 hours until it begins to thicken. Then mix flour with a little cold vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer an additional 25 to 30 minutes. Yield: 11 Pints Probably this recipe can be halved. (August, 1998). Typos: Sherilyn Palmer - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
