This fantastic recipe is AWESOME !! It's wonderful on dry beans, turnip greens, and many other foods. I got it from an elderly friend of mine. It was given to her in 1991 from a minister's wife who was pastor of a church in Kentucky. At each Church where he was pastor, he located the best cooks and collected their recipes, he then had his wife to prepare these foods. This Awesome Cucumber Relish is one of those recipes. I hope you will enjoy making and eating this very tasty relish. I love it !!
