pickle relish

[Snappy]

I would like to try to make sweet pickle relish. How is the best way to chop up the cucumbers and onions for the relish?
Thanks

.....The easiest and quickest way would be a food processer. However, my Mom didn't have one, and she made beautiful relishes. She used a hand-help chopper; a serrated ring about three inches in diameter with a simple handle. I use this item today for egg salad, etc. It's a handy gadget, and won't take up much room in your kitchen drawer. I note that there are many Kitchen Gadget sites on the 'Net, perhaps you can find one here? Good luck!

I use a meat grinder with the largest blade. Some meat grinders don't have a large enough disk to make coarsely chopped vegetables. Kitchen-Aid has a rotor slicing attachment that can be used, too. Or if you have a French fry cutting disk for a food processor, that will help make coarse chunks. You'll need to do a little chopping with a knife after using the French fry blade.

The chopping blade of a food processor tends to turn things to mush or unevenly chopped chunks.

Hope this helps,
