Grandma's Relish Tray
Remember that classic relish tray that your grandmother served. It had a bunch of stuff that as a kid, you would never touch in a million years. Now, I need to serve one of those trays. What were some of the items that you had in your family relish tray?
|
One thing that was always on my Gramma's tray was pickled watermelon rind. I think that she made it herself. I tasted it once, blech! I couldn't finish it. I may like it now.
|
Pickled peaches and pickled beets
|
Ours was cut glass with several sections that Mom put cheese cubes, olives, crackers, pickles, salami cubes, nuts etc. Basically all the little things to snack on before the meal.
|
Celery & carrot sticks, cucumber slices, pickles (beet, bread & butter, dill), pimento olives. Today it might be called a “charcuterie board” and include cheese cubes, pickled herring & salami slices.

LOL, after my dad died we were looking at old family pictures. There was a picture of my sister's birthday party, she was no more than 5. All the little kids sitting around our dining room table, front and center is a relish tray!! I'm sure it was a big hit with the pre-schoolers!

Hmmm.. Carrots sticks, celery sticks, black and green olives and pickles. There was always another tray with cheeses and salami and crackers.
|
Celery, carrots, pickles, olives and sometimes cherry tomatoes.
|
Always the fancy sweet baby Gherkin pickles, they were always a favorite and a treat served only at the Holidays.
