Hot Dog Or Bratwurst Relish Recipes

Steps:

• In a meat grinder, grind up cukes, peppers/carrots, and onion to obtain proper quantities; sprinkle with tumeric.
• Dissolve salt in cold water; pour over cukes, let stand 3-4 hours (or overnight).
• Drain (line a colander with cheesecloth--use clothespins to hold in place), cover again with cold water, let stand another hour; drain again.
• In a large saucepan, combine spices and brown sugar with vinegar; heat to boiling (very fragrant!); pour over cuke mixture; let stand 12-18 hours (overnight is fine, too).
• Fill canning kettle half-full of water over high heat; put canning lids & rings in a saucepan with water--simmer.
• Heat cuke mixture up in a large pot, just to the boiling point.
• Immediately scoop into pint or half-pint jars to the neck of the jar; wipe top of jar, add lid and ring, tighten.
• Place jars in canning kettle with hot water JUST to the neck of the jars; bring ALMOST to boiling point; remove from heat.
• Remove jars and place them upside-down on a thick towel for 15 minutes (set the timer).
• Tip right-side up; lids should seal in a few minutes.

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, add all prepared vegetables. You want your vegetables to be very fine.
• In a large stainless steel bowl sprinkle salt over vegetables, top with water, let soak for 4 hours.
• Drain well, using a large strainer and the back of a large spoon, press out as much liquid as possible.
• Transfer to large stainless steel pot.
• In bowl mix together dry mustard, flour, celery seed, sugar, turmeric, mustard seed and vinegar, mix well. Add to vegetables.
• Cook on medium heat, stirring often, for 15 minutes.
• Process pints.

Steps:

• For the tomato relish, fold a 36x18-inch piece of heavy foil in half to make an 18x18-inch square. In a medium bowl combine 2 cups of the tomatoes, the onion, garlic, oregano, mustard, water, salt, brown sugar and pepper. Place mixture in center of the foil. Bring up two opposite edges of the foil; seal with a double fold. Fold the remaining edges to enclose the mixture, leaving space for steam to build.
• For a charcoal grill, place the foil packet on a grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill for 10 minutes; turn packet. Grill about 10 minutes more or until onion is tender. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place foil packet on grill rack directly over heat. Cover and grill as above.).
• Meanwhile, place hot dogs on grill rack around foil packet; grill for 5 to 7 minutes or until heated through, turning occasionally.
• Carefully open rellish packet and stir remaining 1 cut tomato halves and the grapes into hot relish mixture. Place hot dogs in toasted buns; serve tomato relish with the hot dogs.

• This makes a nice gift, so maybe it won't stay in the frig too long.
