Pickle Relish

 James Jones (Maine) says:
This is the best relish I have ever made. I could not make enough of it because everyone wanted a jar to take home. I did make a few minor changes. I removed all seeds from cucumbers, and peppers, after I let it stand 3 to 4 hours and drain thoroughly, I then put it in an old T shirt and squeeze out as much water as you can. I also used 3 quarts of cold water instead of 2 with the salt, but that was just my preference.
