Perfect Relish

1 large head of cabbage
1 cup fire-roasted peppers (no seeds or skins)
2 large onions

1/4 cup of salt
1 gallon of water

1 pint apple cider vinegar
2 cups sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon pickle spices
1/2 tablespoon celery seed

Finely chop the cabbage, peppers, and onions in a food processor.

Dissolve a 1/4 cup of salt in a gallon of water and soak the vegetables for three hours in a stainless steel pot. Drain in a fine mesh colander and put the vegetables back in the pot.

Mix vinegar, sugar, salt, pickle spices, and celery seed until the sugar dissolves. Pour over vegetables. Bring mixture to a low boil for thirty-five minutes. Then pack in sterilized canning jars and seal.
