Hot Dog Relish

3 sweet red peppers, cored and seeded
2 qt cucumbers, chopped
2 qt green tomatoes, peeled
2 qt onions, pared
1/2 cup salt
2 tbsp mixed pickling spices
3 cups sugar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar, 5% acidity
Chop or grind carrots, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. Sprinkle with salt and let stand overnight in the refrigerator.
Drain.
Tie spices loosely in a clean, thin, white cloth and add to vegetables. Simmer 30 to 45 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent
sticking. Remove spice bag. Add sugar, cayenne pepper, and vinegar; simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
Pour hot relish into clean, hot pint jars; seal with properly prepared lids. Process in a pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure for
10 minutes. Remove jars; cool and store. Yield: 8 to 10 pints.
