Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion into small, evenly sized pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the diced vegetables to the saucepan and stir well to ensure they are coated with the vinegar mixture.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly but still retain some crunch.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the relish to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the relish to a clean, airtight jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the sweet and sour relish on top of hot dogs, bratwursts, burgers, or as a side condiment. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
