END OF THE GARDEN RELISH
This came from my mom, who got it from her mom. I like it because it has a great balance of sweet and sour, unlike store bought relishes that are either way too sweet or way to sour.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. The best vegetables for relish are those that are firm and crisp, such as cucumbers, carrots, and onions. Avoid vegetables that are soft or mushy.
- Cut the vegetables into small pieces. This will help them to pickle evenly and will make the relish easier to eat.
- Use a good quality vinegar. The vinegar is the key ingredient in relish, so it's important to use a good quality one. White vinegar is the most common type of vinegar used in relish, but you can also use apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar.
- Add sugar and spices to taste. The amount of sugar and spices you add to your relish will depend on your personal preferences. However, a good starting point is to use 1 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of each spice for every 4 cups of vegetables.
- Process the relish in a water bath canner. This will help to preserve the relish and prevent it from spoiling.
