1
Cover finely chopped vegetables with cold iced water and salt and set aside for two hours.
2
Drain vegetables. Rinse well and then drain very well. I usually press with a large spoon or spatula to get as much water out as possible.
3
In the meantime, in a large (5 qt) non-reactive pot, bring the sugar, vinegar and spices to a rolling boil.
4
Add vegetables and bring back to a rolling boil for 10 minutes.
5
Fill hot jars with hot relish and seal with lid and rings, following all the usual USDA recommendations for processing. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
6
Remove the jars from the processor and listen for the satisfying pings.
