Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium red bell peppers
- 4 medium green bell peppers
- 2 large yellow onion
- 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the red and green bell peppers, then remove the seeds and stems. Dice them into small, uniform pieces.
Peel the yellow onions and finely dice them.
In a large non-reactive pot or Dutch oven, combine the diced peppers, onions, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, and water.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 35–45 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. The relish should thicken slightly, and the peppers and onions should become tender.
Taste the relish and adjust the seasoning if needed (e.g., add a pinch more salt or sugar for balance).
Remove the pot from the heat and let the relish cool slightly.
Using a sterilized funnel, ladle the relish into sterilized jars for storage. If you'd like to can the relish for long-term use, follow proper canning procedures, such as water-bath canning.
Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating. The relish can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 weeks or longer if properly canned.
