Thousand Island Relish - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 large cucumbers, peeled
    6 large onions
    1 green pepper
    1 red pepper
    1/4 cup pickling salt
    3 cups granulated sugar
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup dry mustard
    1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
    1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
    1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
    3 cups white vinegar
    2 1/2 cups water
Preparation
    In food processor or food chopper with coarse blade, chop vegetables. I find the best way to do this is to coarsley chop the vegetables before putting in the processor, and then pulsing briefly- you want small chunks, not puree.
    Sprinkle with salt and add 2 1/2\u00b0C cold water. Let stand for 1 hour and drain well.
    In large saucepan combine sugar, flour and spices; gradually stir in vineagr and water.
    Add drained vegetables and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30-60 minutes, stirring often. Pack into hot sterilized jars leaving 1/8 inch headspace.
    Seal immediately, label and store in cool, dry, dark place.
