Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh jalapeno peppers
- 1 piece Red bell pepper
- 1 piece White onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Distilled white vinegar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the jalapeno peppers, red bell pepper, and white onion thoroughly.
Remove the stems from the jalapeno peppers. For a milder relish, also remove the seeds. For a spicier relish, keep some or all the seeds.
Dice the jalapeno peppers, red bell pepper, and white onion into small, even pieces.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced jalapeno peppers, red bell pepper, onion, minced garlic, distilled white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and water.
Stir the mixture well and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The vegetables should soften and the liquid should reduce slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled relish into sterilized glass jars or an airtight container. Ensure the relish is fully submerged in the liquid for optimal storage.
Store the relish in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow the flavors to develop further by letting it sit for at least 24 hours before serving.
Enjoy as a topping on your favorite dishes or as a spicy side condiment!
