It seems that it is canning time again, so hope this helps.This was my grandmother’s recipe. It is quite a mild pickle almost like a salad.
It is an old recipe and I don’t know if it can be found anywhere. Enjoy.
Pepper haste
1 lg. cabbage

Vinegar
9 green peppers
9 red peppers
¾ c. mustard seed
4c. sugar
Finely chop cabbage, onions, and peppers.
Stir in salt and let stand overnight.
Drain well.
Add sugar, mustard seed and celery seed.
Cover with vinegar.
Let stand on stove until sugar is melted, but do not boil. Bottle and seal.
Another old but good one as you can tell by the first ingredient. Could almost be used as a fruit. Hope you try it.
