Award Winning Million Dollar Relish Recipe Recipe 375

Steps:

• Grate the cucumbers and onions into a large bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle the pickling salt over the top. Cover tightly, and allow to rest at room temperature overnight.
• Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the cucumber mixture; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, flour, turmeric, ginger, and celery seed. Heat the vinegar and water in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the sugar mixture until smooth. Stir in the cucumber mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process pint jars for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Grind and drain the vegetables. Put them in a large bowl.
• Add 1/2 cup of pickling salt to the 1/2 gallon of boiling water and pour the whole mixture over the vegetables. Let stand covered on the counter over night.
• Sterilize your bottles, lids and utensils.
• In a large pot mix the 4 cups of sugar, turmeric, mustard seed and celery seed with a whisk until well mixed, then add the 3 cups of cider vinegar. Add the drained vegetables and bring to a boil.
• In a separate bowl, sift the cornstarch and remaining 2 cups of sugar until well combined. Add the remaining 2 cups of cider vinegar. Whisk until the dry mix is dissolved.
• Gently add and stir the cornstarch mixture into the vegetable mixture and cook for 20 minutes to thicken.
• Ladle the hot relish into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace and seal. While my family has always said it's not necessary, I hot water bath them for 10 minutes as an added precaution.

Steps:

• Coarsely grind all vegetables. Place in large vessel. Mix coarse salt & hot water, pour over vegetables & let set overnight.. In morning, swish around & drain. Place in large pot with the mustard seed, tumeric, celery seed, sugar & vinegar. Bring to boil & boil until glossy, about 20 min. Thicken with 3 tbsp. cornstarch in small amount of water.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer to a bowl and mix spaghetti sauce into ground beef.
• Place half the slices of butter into the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread half the spaghetti into the dish. Mix cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream together in a bowl; spread mixture over spaghetti. Layer remaining spaghetti over creamy mixture. Top with remaining pats of butter.
• Pour ground beef mixture over spaghetti and spread to cover casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Spread Cheddar cheese over casserole and continue baking until cheese has melted and is lightly browned, about 15 more minutes.

Steps:

• Grind all Step1 ingedients up with a food processor.
• Cover with 3/4 cup pickling salt to 2 quarts of water.
• Let brine stand overnight.
• In the AM, drain the mixture well.
• Then add the Step2 ingredients except for the flour and vinegar.

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a large skillet over medium heat, and add the olive oil, onions and garlic. Sauté until translucent and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, eggs and milk. Mix well by hand, and add bread crumbs, mustard, barbecue sauce, horseradish, and cooked onions and garlic. Mix again, and add the parsley, salt, pepper and thyme. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
• Spread the croutons across a shallow 8-inch-square baking dish. Top with the meatloaf mix, patting the surface so it is level. Bake until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer and the top is nicely browned, about 1 hour. Toward the end of baking, prepare the chili shrimp.
• For the chili shrimp: In a small mixing bowl, combine the chili powder, cayenne pepper, paprika and flour. Dredge the shrimp in the mixture until well coated. Place a small skillet over medium heat, and add the chili oil. When it is hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes a side.
• To finish, cut the meatloaf into 4 slices. Place a slice on each of 4 plates, and top with a chili shrimp. If desired, serve with mashed potatoes.
