Steps:

• 1. Using a food grinder with the coarse plate (I use my KitchenAid attachment), grind the cucumbers, onion, peppers and celery together into a large non-reactive bowl. Add salt, turmeric, and water and mix well. Continue with the remaining steps while letting this mixture stand overnight.
• 2. In a square of cheesecloth, tie up the allspice, cloves, mace, celery seed, peppercorns and cinnamon. Bring this spice packet and the vinegar up to a boil in a large non-reactive pot. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• 3. Increase heat to medium, and add the tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered until the tomatoes resemble a puree - about 30 minutes. Add sugar and mustard seeds, cover, and let stand overnight at room temperature.
• 4. Now drain the vegetable mixture that has been sitting overnight in a strainer, pressing out any excess liquid.
• 5. Add the drained vegetables to the tomato mixture and bring to a boil over medium high hear. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Remove spice bag.
• 6. Ladle into sterilized jars and process for 15 minutes in a water bath canner. Let relish mellow for at least a month before using, and refrigerate after opening.
• 7. To make the burger, use a sesame seed bun cut into three pieces; a top, middle, and bottom. Toast each cut side. On the bottom, add a spoonful of mayo, some lettuce, a slice of American cheese, the patty, the middle part of the bun, the next patty, relish, and finally the top bun.

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan over high heat and toast your burger buns. Set aside.
• Place the burger patties in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes per side. Be sure to season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, spread mayonnaise over the bottom and centre bun.
• Top the bottom bun with the shredded lettuce and a slice of American cheese.
• When your patties are cooked through, place one on top of the cheese and then place the centre bun on top of the beef patty.
• Top the centre bun with the other patty.
• Mix the chilli sauce and pickle relish and then spoon it over the top, followed by the top bun.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to mix, then cover the relish and store it in your refrigerator for at least 1 hour before using. While you can use the relish after resting in the refrigerator for 1 hour, it's recommended that you let it rest for at least 24 hours before using. This will allow all the flavors to blend well. Tidbits: You can also create a clone version of Bob's Big Boy Thousand Island Dressing using this recipe. Make the relish as above and simply mix it with mayonnaise.
