Wash and dry the green bell peppers. Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes, then finely dice them.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced green bell peppers, chopped onion, and garlic.
Add the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and prevent sticking.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the relish has thickened. Stir occasionally while simmering.
Taste the relish and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt or sugar if desired.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Transfer the relish to sterilized jars or an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a condiment with your favorite dishes, such as sandwiches, burgers, or grilled meats.
