Do you have a recipe to make and can (preserve) homemade sandwich spread?
My wife remembers that as a child her neighbor lady made the kids sandwiches made from home canned sandwich spread. She rememers it to have relish in it, in a mayonaise type base, and it was slightly pink in color.

I hope this is it
SANDWICH SPREAD
2 pt. ground green tomatoes
2 green peppers, ground
2 red peppers, ground
1 tsp. salt
6 sweet pickles, ground OR
3/4 c. sweet relish
1/2 c. water
2 c. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. ground mustard
1/2 c. vinegar
1 c. canned milk
3 eggs, well beaten
Combine green tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers and salt. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain well. Add the sweet pickles or relish and water. Cook until tender. If you double the recipe, still only use 1/2 cup water.
In a separate pan combine sugar, flour, mustard, vinegar, milk and eggs. Stir constantly until thick. Add to the tomato mixture. Put in hot jars and seal. Process 5 minutes in hot water bath. Makes 6 pints.
