Preserves - Last of the Garden Relish

 Sheila Beers (Indiana) says:
My great-aunt used to make a similar salad, but she added one cup of lima beans, one cup of kidney beans, one cup of peas, one cup of sliced broccoli, one cup of sliced cauliflower, and 1/2 cup of sliced radishes. Once she had cooked the vegetables in the vinegar mixture, she added some well-drained bread-and-butter pickles for some extra pizzazz before canning and sealing.
