THE BEST RELISH I'VE EVER HAD



The Best Relish I've Ever Had image

Time 11h10m

Yield 128

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 large English cucumbers
4 large sweet onions, peeled
¼ cup pickling salt
3 cups white sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon celery seed
3 cups distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
4 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Grate the cucumbers and onions into a large bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle the pickling salt over the top. Cover tightly, and allow to rest at room temperature overnight.
  • Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the cucumber mixture; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, flour, turmeric, ginger, and celery seed. Heat the vinegar and water in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the sugar mixture until smooth. Stir in the cucumber mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process pint jars for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest cucumbers and citrus fruits: Crisp cucumbers and flavorful citrus fruits are key to a delicious relish. Choose firm, brightly colored cucumbers that are free of blemishes. For the citrus fruits, look for heavy fruits with smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: Don't limit yourself to just one type of citrus fruit. A combination of oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits will add a complex and vibrant flavor to your relish.
  • Don't overdo the sugar: Citrus fruits are naturally sweet, so you don't need to add a lot of sugar to your relish. A small amount of sugar will help to balance the flavors, but too much will make your relish too sweet.
  • Let the relish rest before serving: After you've made your relish, let it rest for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Store the relish properly: Citrus cucumber relish will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Store it in a covered container to prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Citrus cucumber relish is a refreshing and versatile condiment that can be used to add a pop of flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled meats, fish, and poultry, and it also makes a great addition to sandwiches, wraps, and salads. So next time you're looking for a way to brighten up your meal, give citrus cucumber relish a try. You won't be disappointed!
