I'm from Eastern Canada - pickles and relish were everywhere when I was growing up. This recipe is great and the vegetables can be changed depending on what is in season - a great staple! You can also make interesting variants with, for example, peaches, onions, celery, sweet peppers and yellow raisins. All of the variants work as chutneys ...

I live in eastern Ontario but my recipe came from someone in the Barrie area (I believe). My recipe calls for ripe cucumbers which I cannot find anywhere. What type of cucumber do you use?

Thank you so much for this recipe. Am going to reduce it - and use this as a "refrigerator" relish. I no longer make chow-chow - and do not have the kitchen capacity to can... Am thinking - this will be perfect. Thanks again.

Reducing it and using as a refrigerator relish is a great idea.
