Piccalilli - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 bushel green tomatoes
6 green peppers
6 red peppers
4 lb. onions
4 lb. sugar (white is best)
1 qt. cider vinegar
salt (to use when veggies are cut up)
pickling spices (use a store bought bottle)

Preparation

Make layers of tomatoes, peppers and onions, sprinkling salt sparingly between each individual layer.
Let sit overnight.
In morning, empty brine and add vinegar to cover tomato mixture. Place pickling spices in cheesecloth and add sugar.
Cook for 3 hours (high at first, then cut heat as mixture has to be stirred at times).
This mixture will make about 12 quarts or more.
