Cooking Directions:

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

 

2 pounds artichokes

1 cup salt

1 gallon water

6 red or green sweet peppers - (to 8)

6 large onions - (to 8)

1 pound sugar

1 quart vinegar

2 tablespoons mustard seed

1 tablespoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

Select fresh, tender artichokes. Wash well and trim,

if necessary.

Dissolve 1 cup salt in water in a large pan. Add

artichokes and let stand

overnight. Drain well.

 

Organize ingredients, equipment, and work area. Remove

stems and seeds

from peppers and peel onions. Grind peppers, onions,

and artichokes,

using coarse blade. Set aside.

 

In a large preserving kettle, combine vinegar, sugar,

and spices and heat

to boiling. Add ground vegetables and heat to boiling.

 

 

Ladle boiling mixture into hot jars to within 1/4-inch

of the tops. Run a

slim, non metal tool down along the insides of jars to

release any air

bubbles. Add additional relish, if necessary, to fill

to within 1/4-inch

of the tops of the jars.

 

Wipe tops and thread of jars with damp clean cloth.

Put on lids and screw

bands as manufacturer directs. Process in boiling

water bath 10 minutes.
