Sweet Pickle Relish for Hamburger Sauce

Place the chopped vegetables in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Cover with cold water and let stand for 2 hours. Drain the water and squeeze the vegetables thoroughly, leaving as little liquid as possible. In a large pot, bring the sugar, vinegar, and spices to a boil on the stovetop. Add the vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the relish simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and ladle the relish into twist-off jars using a slotted spoon (the relish does need some liquid, but not too much). This yields approximately 1 liter.
