Skin and quarter 6 large ripe and firm tomatoes. Slice 1 large green pepper into strips and slice 1 red onion into rings. Place in a bowl and submerge in the following sultry sauce:
Mix:
Place over heat and bring to a boil, then boil furiously for only 1 minute. While still hot, pour over the tomatoes. Cool. Just before serving, add 1 peeled and sliced cucumber. Serve as a relish or side dish. Tomatoes given the above treatment will mark time in the refrigerator quite happily for several days without the cucumber, of course.
Mix:
- 3/4 c. vinegar
- 1 1/2 c. celery salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. mustard seed
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 4 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 1/8 tsp. red pepper
- 1/8 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 c. cold water
Place over heat and bring to a boil, then boil furiously for only 1 minute. While still hot, pour over the tomatoes. Cool. Just before serving, add 1 peeled and sliced cucumber. Serve as a relish or side dish. Tomatoes given the above treatment will mark time in the refrigerator quite happily for several days without the cucumber, of course.
