Hook I don't know squat about either but I really like Texas Recipes and use several of their recipes.
This is one they have listed
Sweet Pickle Relish
Ingredients:
6-7 large unpeeled cucumbers (about 4 cups), diced
2 medium green bell peppers (about 1 1/2 cups), diced
2 heads celery (about 3 cups), diced
1/4 cup salt
3 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups white vinegar
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp mustard seed
Directions:
Finely chop the veggies in a food processor for a couple of seconds, being careful not to grind them into a puree.
Pour the veggies into a large bowl and add salt; cover with water and let stand for about 5 hours.
Drain well, pressing the mixture to remove all liquid.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil.
Continue stirring until all of the sugar has dissolved.
Add the vegetable mixture to the saucepan, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Pack into hot, sterilized jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
Process for 10 minutes in a water bath canner.
