PEPPER RELISH



Pepper Relish image

This is a wonderful way to utilize an abundant crop of banana peppers that can be found this time of year. I love pepper jelly, and this has a very similar taste. It is great with cream cheese and crackers! It makes a fun and impressive hors d'oeuvre. We've also began using as a condiment on hot dogs, polish sausages, ham sandwiches and more. I've caught my fiancé eating it straight from the jar.! It is great with pork chops and I want to try marinating chops in the juice. I made 8 half-pints last year and friends and family requested that I make much more this year. I've made four batches so far this season. I adapted this recipe from a pepper relish recipe that was in the Blue Canning Book. The original recipe included apples and cabbage. My version is all peppers and just the right combination of sweet, sour, and hot. It's just slightly hot.

Sweet Pepper Relish Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by mseemeyer

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 onions
12 Red Peppers
12 Green Peppers
2 cups white vinegar
2 cups sugar
3 TBSP salt

Steps:

  • The peppers could be all one color, the combination just makes it pretty. Wash the peppers and peel the onions. Chop the peppers up in a blender or food processor or by hand. If you use a blender add some water so the pieces will chop freely. Do NOT over chop, you just want them in small pieces, not into mush. Drain the excess water off after chopping. Put the peppers in a large saucepan. Do the same with the onions. Chop and drain. Add the onions to the peppers and mix well. Pour enough boiling water to cover the mixture. Let it stand for about 5 minutes. Do not drain the water off. Add vinegar, sugar and salt. Mix well, bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Pour into canning jars and process in a hot bath for 5 minutes. Be sure to keep one jar out to eat! This is WONDERFUL with any kind of meat.
