I believe I do. I'll have to look.

I also have a recipe called Fire and Ice that is somewhat similar. I'll hunt it up as well.

I found this one in Mama's receipes, it should make about 8 pints.

2 1/2 pounds of green tomatoes 2 quarts of cider vinegar
6 small cucumbers 2 1/2 cups of sugar
2 sweet red or green peppers 2 tbsp celery seed
1 small cauliflower 3 tbsp dry mustard
1 bunch of celery 4 tbsp turmeric
2 ounds small white onions peeled 1 tbsp whole allspice
1 pound green beans cut in 1 inch length 1 tbsp frsh ground pepper
3/4 cup of salt 1 tbsp cloves

Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cauliflower and celery in small pieces. Combine with the onions and green beans. Cover with 3 quarts of boiling water and the salt and let stand for 1 hour. Drain, rinse well in cold water and drain again. Mix the remaining ingredients in a large pot and heat to boiling. Add the vegetables and cook until tender stirring frequently. Spoon into hot, sterilized jars, fil with the cooking liquid leaving 1/8 inch space at top and seal. If you want you can process in a boiling water bath for 10 inutes.
