Sounds good to me!! I made my first dill pickles and canned them this summer! They are so pretty in the jars. Oh and they were good tasting too!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen a recipe for sweet relish before. This looks really good. I wonder how it would be using something like Splenda instead of sugar.
ReplyDeleteMy recipe is very similar to yours. Some yrs if the cukes don't do well, I substitute zucchini and it works just as well. I love this relish.
