Hannah's Kraut Relish

Coarsely chop enough cabbage, onions, sweed red peppers and green tomatoes to fill a gallon glass jar.   Cover with 1 cup coarse canning salt and 2 quart water mixture till completely covered.  Screw on cap and wait for it to stop working.  Serve with pork or alone like kraut.   Refridgerate after opening and make sure when storing that vegetables are under the brine to prevent  dry out.  Will keep about 6 months. 

It's best to make this in August under the sign of the moon to prevent bubbling over.
