This recipe was sent by a visitor to my web page.  Sounds intriguing.

Here is recipe we like that we got from a cookbook form the Albuquerque
Tribune, 1974 - "great green chili cooking classic"

Million Dollar Chili Relish

Grind medium coarse:

8 cups cucumber
4 cups green chili
3 large onions
2 green bell peppers
1 jar (2 oz) pimientos
3 carrots

Sprinkle with 1/2 cup pickling salt, cover with cold water and let stand
for three hours.  Drain thoroughly.

In a large kettle place:

5 cups white sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. turmeric
1 Tbsp. mustard seed

Add cucumber-chili mixture to spices and cover with 2 1/2 cups white
vinegar.  Boil until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Pousr into hot sterilized jars and seal.  Makes 8 or 9 pints.
