I was exhausted ready to faint from the heat and this revived me completely. Traditionally it is served with meats but it is wonderful straight out of jar with bread. The large quantity of mixed herbs sets it apart from a usual relish. Mix the vegetables herbs and salt together cover with the vinegar. Refrigerate at least 25 days before using.
