1 quart ground cabbage, about 1 large head
1 quart ground green tomato
18 bell peppers, a combination of green, red, and other colors, ground*
1/2 cup salt
6 cups sugar
4 cups vinegar
2 cups water
2 tablespoons celery seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric

Combine onions, cabbage, green tomatoes, green and red bell peppers and salt; cover and let stand overnight. In the morning drain well. Put vegetables in a large kettle; add sugar, vinegar, water, celery seed and turmeric. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Pack into hot sterilized pint jars.
