PEPPER RELISH (Green Pepper ‘Mangoes’)

I was Goggling for explanations for use of Mango for Pepper.  I had just found my mother’s ‘lost’ recipe for Pepper Relish and brought it into work to share.  My co-workers were surprised at the use of Mango for pepper.

This relish is the best hot dog and hamburger relish I have ever tasted. I hope to make some at end of summer when peppers and onions are abundant at the vegetable stands.  Here’s what was on her torn and tattered paper:

Pepper Relish

• 1 doz green mangues [sic]
• 1 doz red
• 1 doz onions
 

Grind all in food chopper. Pour boiling water over and let stand ten minutes. Drain.
Add

• 1 qt vinegar
• 3 c. sugar
• 3 Tbsp salt
• 1 tsp celery seed
• 1 tsp mustard seed


Boil. Seal.  [I think she cold packed these but not sure.  She didn’t have pressure cooker canner.]
