Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (finely chopped) Cucumbers
- 2 cups (finely chopped) White onion
- 1 cup (finely chopped) Red bell pepper
- 1 cup (finely chopped) Green bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons Salt
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers before finely chopping them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers, onions, and peppers. Sprinkle with the salt and mix well.
Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit for 2 hours to draw out excess water.
After 2 hours, drain the vegetable mixture in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Press gently to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Add the drained vegetable mixture to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pot from heat and let the relish cool slightly. If canning, proceed with sterilized jars and water bath canning as per safe canning guidelines.
Store the relish in sterilized jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath canner for long-term storage.
Enjoy this Old Fashioned Hamburger Relish as a flavorful addition to burgers, hot dogs, and other dishes!
