This recipe comes from and makes about one pint. Get started on it the day before you plan to serve it, because relish needs to sit around a bit to reach maximum flavor.

1 cup peeled, seeded & chopped cucumber
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped red pepper
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon pickling salt
2/3 cup sugar
