Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 celery stalks
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow onion
- 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Wash the celery stalks, red bell pepper, and yellow onion thoroughly under cold running water.
Finely dice the celery, red bell pepper, and yellow onion, ensuring all pieces are even in size.
In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, ground black pepper, dried mustard powder, and celery seeds. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the diced celery, red bell pepper, and onion to the saucepan. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly in the vinegar mixture.
Lower the heat and simmer the mixture for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Transfer the relish to an airtight container or jar. Store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop fully.
Serve the celery relish as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or grilled meats, or enjoy it as a side dish.
