Here's another recipe from All-American Vegetarian.
It's a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe.
According to the cookbook, a traditional part of a Pennsylvania Dutch
dinner is a relish platter called "sweets and sours."
I love this because my relatives in my native state, North Carolina,
also had relish plates, usually pickles and fresh vegetables.
It would consist of something like green tomato pickles (my aunt
made the best!), sliced fresh tomatoes, a fresh pickle of sliced
fresh cukes, scallions, cider vinegar, and salt and pepper, and
usually something like canned sliced beets.
I know my relatives would have loved this recipe.
I found this one easy as pie to whip up using the cuisinart.
