Hyden Salad
- 1 gallon cabbage, cut as for slaw
- 1/2 gallon green tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 pint green pepper
- 1 quart onions, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsps salt
- 2 lbs sugar
- 3 large spoonfuls ginger
- 3 large spoonfuls turmeric
- 3 spoonfuls celery seed
- 3 spoonfuls ground mustard
- 2 spoonfuls allspice
- 2 spoonfuls cinnamon
- 1 spoonful cloves
- 1 spoonful mace
- 3 quarts vinegar
Take out the seed from the green pepper and cut up the pod. Be careful not to use the seed. Cut up the onions and press the water from them and drain.
Mix the cut cabbage, chopped tomatoes, green pepper and onions together. Sprinkle salt through them and let it stand overnight.
Beat all the spices fine. Take the sugar and spices and mix with the salad. Pour vinegar over the mixture and simmer for 20 minutes (be patient, you rascal).
This will be ready for use very soon. Very good!
