SUMMER RELISH 
GROUP #1:
2 c. green tomatoes
2 c. green bell peppers
2 c. cucumbers, seeded
2 c. onions

All Group #1 chopped fairly small. Soak all ingredients overnight in 8 to 10 cups water. Mix water with 3/4 cup salt.

GROUP #2:
2 c. diced carrots
2 c. green beans, chopped
2 c. celery, chopped small

2 tbsp. celery seed
4 tbsp. turmeric
4 c. vinegar
3 to 4 c. sugar
