Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound pickled cucumbers (about 4), washed and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup minced green cabbage
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoon finely diced red bell pepper
  • 4 teaspoon kosher or pickling salt
  • 3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Directions
  1. Place the cucumbers, cabbage, onion, and red bell pepper in a medium-sized nonreactive mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt, stir well. Let stand for 1 hour.
  2. Drain the mixture in a colander, rinse under cold water, and drain again, pressing out any excess moisture.
  3. In a medium-sized nonreactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, prepared mustard, dry mustard, mustard seed, celery seed, paprika, turmeric, and cornstarch. Whisk until fully blended. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly.
  4. Add the cucumber mixture, and return the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. When the relish has finished cooking, transfer it into a sterilized pint jar and refrigerate until cool, then cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
