   • Peel and seed the cucumbers, then finely chop them.
   • Finely chop the onions and bell pepper.

2. Drain Vegetables:

   • Place the chopped cucumbers, onions, and bell pepper in a colander and let them drain for 1 hour. Afterward, squeeze out any excess liquid and transfer them into a large pot.

3. Mix Flavorings:

   • To the pot of drained vegetables, add the white vinegar, horseradish, French’s mustard, salt, celery seed, and ground ginger. Stir well to combine.

4. Incorporate Sugar:

   • Add the white sugar to the pot and mix everything together thoroughly.

5. Boil Mixture:

   • Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

6. Cook with Sugar:

   • Once boiling, continue to cook and stir until all the sugar has dissolved completely.

7. Hard Boil:

   • Increase the heat to achieve a hard boil and let the mixture cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.

8. Prepare Jars:

   • Remove the pot from the heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface. Ladle the hot relish into hot, sterilized jars, leaving about 1/8 inch of headspace at the top.

9. Process Jars:

   • Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if you’re at altitudes up to 1000 feet. Adjust processing time for higher altitudes if necessary.

10. Cool and Store:

    • After processing, carefully remove the jars from the water bath and place them on a clean towel to cool. Once cooled, store the jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
