I was looking through my grandmother's recipies from when she got married, and I found a recipe for picadilly. Has anyone heard of it, or know how it's eaten? If you want the recipe, I'll post it, too, but I'll warn you that it would feed the whole neighborhood. |

I've heard of picadilly. It's a green tomato relish, isn't it? The recipe you have is probably a canning recipe, I'm guessing. You would use it much like corn relish, as a condiment for meat or whatever. I have never made it myself, but I seem to remember running accross the recipe a while back. |

Actually, it's mostly bell peppers. Yes, it's a canning recipe. I asked my father-in-law about it, and he said that it's used a lot out in Austrailia as a form of relish (he's Austrailian). I've never heard of corn relish, is it relish made out of pickled corn? |

Be careful. As stated, this is an old "open kettle" recipe and must be refrigerated if made since it is not tested and approved for "canning". |

Wow, your recipe is a lot different from mine! A lot smaller, too. Here's mine. 6 bottles of capers 6-8 bunches of celery 1 bushel of Green Peppers 6 red peppers for color 4-5 lbs. hot peppers 2 gallons of Mazola oil 2 qts. of olives Cut peppers and celery up fine, add capers and copped olives and have everything well-drained. Pack jars well to 1 inch of the top. Pour over the oil and let stand open overnight. Seal the next day. Makes 50 pints. I guess some piccadil recipes have tomatoes and some don't. My bad. |

Was told by a Amish friend that green beans or green shelled Lima beans can be added as well. I guess different folks like different thing in Picalilli. lol |
