  • 5. This recipe doesn't call for it but I always boiling water bath for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Use pickling or burpless cucumbers, as they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin, making them ideal for relish.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the vinegar and spices better.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Adding other vegetables like onions, peppers, and celery will give your relish more flavor and texture.
  • Choose the right vinegar: Use a vinegar with a mild flavor, such as white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Avoid using strong vinegars like balsamic vinegar, as they can overpower the other flavors in the relish.
  • Add spices and herbs: Use a combination of spices and herbs to give your relish a unique flavor. Some popular options include mustard seeds, celery seeds, dill, and turmeric.
  • Let the relish rest: After you make the relish, let it rest for at least 24 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
