Wash and prepare the jalapenos by removing the stems. If you prefer a milder relish, deseed some or all of the jalapenos. For a spicier relish, leave the seeds in.
Finely chop the jalapenos, white onion, and garlic cloves. Alternatively, use a food processor to pulse them into small, uniform pieces.
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped jalapenos, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, salt, ground mustard, celery seeds, and turmeric powder to the pan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced slightly and the flavors meld together.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Transfer the relish to a clean, sterilized glass jar or an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve your Jalapeno Pickle Relish as a condiment for burgers, hot dogs, or sandwiches, or as a flavorful topping for grilled meats and veggies.
