Most piccalillis are made with cucumbers, but East Texans cleverly adapted this recipe to meet their own needs. This is a sweeter relish than some.
4 quarts green tomatoes, finely chopped (about 20-25 tomatoes)
1/2 head cabbage, finely chopped
1/2 cup pickling salt
enough water to cover the vegetables
1 quart cider vinegar (4 cups)
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon mustard seed
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 tablespoon allspice
1 tablespoon ginger
Combine the vegetables and salt; cover with water, and soak overnight. Drain and rinse the vegetables.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a large pot and bring them to a boil; add the drained vegetables and return the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender (about 30 minutes).
Pack the hot mixture into hot, sterilized pint jars. Cover, and process in a boiling bath for 15 minutes.

K19251 - Glass Onion Keeper
Your cut onions will last longer when you store them in a container that allows them to breathe. That's where The Onion Keeper comes in. It's the right way to store cut onions. Just slip your leftover onion under the glass. It traps the odors so that your other foods don't smell and your onions will keep longer. The Onion Keeper will pay for itself in onions that you don't throw away.
