condiment Grandma's Salsa

[nubster]

Really simple and easy and oh so good, and yes, it really was my grandmother's recipe.

3 qts. Tomato chopped
1 c. Green Pepper chopped
1 c. Onion chopped
1 c. Celery chopped
Hot pepper(s) of your choice and quantity
1/4 c. salt

Mix and refrigerate over night. Next day drain vegetables for 30-60 minutes. Do not mash, just let them drain.

In a sauce pan mix
1 c. white sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. Bouquet Garni of pickling spice

Heat to a syrup, add drained veggies and simmer 15 minutes. Once simmered, salsa is ready to be cold packed for 10 minutes.

Good post but I could never eat this for 2 reasons...

1. Green Peppers
2. Celery

What is the origin of this recipe, sure seems like the mountains around Va. Seems like something my mother's family would put together.

I'm wondering if there's a typo when it says " cold packed for 10 minutes"? Sounds more logical that it would be hot packed (ie boiling water bath) for 10 minutes?

Interesting sounding recipe-
