Canned Sweet Pickle Relish

I am super excited about this recipe for homemade sweet pickle relish- especially with the abundance of cucumbers this time of year from my garden. We love sweet relish on burgers, hot dogs and especially love it in tuna! This recipe makes enough for 3 quarts or 6 pints. -Kristin
