Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium, finely diced white onion
- 1 medium, finely diced green bell pepper
- 3 large, finely diced dill pickles
- 8 sliced, or chopped sport peppers
- 0.5 teaspoons celery salt
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing your vegetables. Finely dice the white onion, green bell pepper, and dill pickles. Slice or chop the sport peppers to your desired size for some heat.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced onion, green bell pepper, pickles, and sport peppers.
3. In a small saucepan, combine yellow mustard, white vinegar, granulated sugar, celery salt, and water. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour the heated mustard mixture over the vegetable blend in the mixing bowl. Add the poppy seeds and stir everything together until well combined.
5. Allow the relish to sit and marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For the best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
6. Serve your Chicago Hot Relish atop hot dogs, burgers, or as a tangy condiment on the side. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
