Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 1 small white onion
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers and red bell pepper. Finely dice the cucumbers and bell pepper into small, even-sized pieces.
Peel and finely dice the small white onion.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric. Place over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
Add the diced cucumbers, onion, and red bell pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the brine.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly but still retain a crisp texture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the pickle relish to a clean, airtight jar or container. Ensure the vegetables are completely submerged in the brine.
Refrigerate the relish for at least 1 hour before using to allow the flavors to meld. For the best flavor, let it sit overnight.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a condiment or topping on your favorite dishes.
