Personal Notes:
The ingredient table seems to be for one or two batches of relish.Mama's original copy of the recipe had tumeric but it was crossed out and changed to alum. I believe Mama and Grandma decided to switch to alum. I believe Mama got Grandma ruby to start using a blender for chopping the vegetables.
