KATE'S EASY GERMAN CHOW-CHOW SAUERKRAUT RELISH (NO CANNING)
Delicious on top of beans and greens, black-eyed peas, bratwursts, meat or fish. Simmering it low and slow blends flavors. I fell in love with hearty German cuisine while living in Germany. My dad likes this relish so much that he eats it straight by itself.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine sauerkraut including canning liquid, bell pepper, onion, celery, vinegar, sugar, and water.
- Bring to a boil, and simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 3 hours (3 hours is best) while occasionally stirring to prevent sticking. Add more water as needed to keep from drying out but not too much because relish should not be watery. Note: do not inhale steam from relish while cooking it because boiling vinegar can take one's breath away and is really painful (I learned this the hard way) lol.
- Can be eaten right way. Tastes even better the next day. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Use firm, fresh green cabbage for the best results. Red cabbage can also be used, but it will give the relish a slightly different flavor and color.
- Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the relish to ferment properly and will make it easier to eat. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices used in sauerkraut relish can vary depending on your taste. Some common spices include caraway seeds, juniper berries, mustard seeds, and dill. You can also add other spices, such as garlic, onion, or ginger, to taste.
- Ferment the relish for at least 2 weeks: The fermentation process is what gives sauerkraut relish its characteristic sour flavor. The longer you ferment the relish, the sourer it will be. You can ferment the relish at room temperature or in a cool place, such as a refrigerator.
- Store the relish in a cool place: Once the relish is fermented, it can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
