Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large red bell peppers
- 1 medium onion
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash and core the red bell peppers. Remove seeds and dice them into small, uniform pieces.
Peel and finely dice the onion.
In a large, heavy-bottom saucepan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the diced red bell peppers and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and red chili flakes to the pan. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for approximately 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender and the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or red chili flakes if desired.
Remove from heat and let the relish cool slightly before transferring it into sterilized glass jars or containers.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or use immediately as a delicious condiment.
