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.

HARRY & DAVIDS SWEET AND HOT PEPPER AND ONION RELISH CLONE
This recipe came from http://www.recipe-recipes-message-board.com/forum/view_topic.php?id=3467&forum_id=37 and was posted by forum member "thebuca". I've not tried it myself but I have heard it is wonderful! Update: I've now made this several times and it is fantastic. For some reason *after* canning it loses quite a bit of heat - as other reviewers have stated - I upped the quantity of Jalapeno's to 6, left the seeds in 2 and added a habanero. Too hot for me prior to canning, but afterwards it was perfect for my tastes. As to the sugar to liquid comment - I've not had any issues with mine not setting but it's worth bearing in mind. I also don't pressure can, I use a water bath and it works quite well.

Steps:
- * Recipe called for two small boxes of pectin - I have no idea if a small box is 1 or 2 ounces so I guess at 2 ounces -- so be careful!
- Mix all ingredients together, except pectin and bring to a boil.
- Turn down and simmer for 2 - 2 1/2 hours until thickened.
- Whisk in the 2 boxes of pectin and boil for 1 minute.
- Pour into sterile jars.
- Process in pressure canner at #11 for 15 minutes.
- Notes: I increased the peppers and the ground red. I actually used scotch hots and it still lost some of the heat in the canning process. This always happens to me! Go ahead and be a little generous on the heat because it seems to leave the product after canning. Also, in using the 8 cups of sugar, you need the hot pepper to balance out the sweet.
- It seems like a long time to cook but it makes a beautiful transformation from orange/red to a deep jewel ruby red. It is necessary to cook it the 2 hours because it becomes thick (unlike fresh salsa that stays thin).
- Recipe reads that it makes about 7 pints. Not sure about that since I increased the vegetables. I would can in jelly jars because one mixed with 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese was plenty of dip.
- I did not pressure can. I water-boiled for 10 minutes. They all set up perfectly.
- It was a success. Tasted great, just wish it was a little spicier. I added cayenne to my cream cheese mixture.

Number Of Ingredients 26
Steps:
- Burgers: In a large bowl combine all of the above ingredients and mix together well. Form the mixture into desired size burgers. Heat a large frying pan and add about 3 burgers at a time; Do Not Overcrowd the pan or the burgers will not have a beautiful char. Cook until the desired doneness; depending on how thick you make your burgers. Gently heat the buns in the pan that you cooked your burgers in for a nice flavor on the bun. For the Sweet and Spicy Bell Pepper Relish: Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil. Add the sliced peppers, jalapeño, onions and garlic to sauté; until the onions become slightly transparent and soften. Add the chopped basil and capers and toss while gently sautéing. In a small bowl combine the sugar and spices; add the Worcestershire Sauce and the balsamic vinegar; add this mixture to the pan and continue sautéing until the peppers are soft. Build Your Burger: After heating the bun, place the slice of cheese on the bun, top with the peppers, thin slice of fresh cucumber and of course; the burger.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm peppers: Look for peppers that are brightly colored and free of blemishes. Avoid peppers that are soft or have wrinkles.
- Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers offer different flavors and heat levels. Experiment with different combinations to create a relish that suits your taste.
- Chop the peppers finely: This will help the relish to have a uniform consistency. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to chop the peppers.
- Use a non-reactive pot: A non-reactive pot, such as a stainless steel or glass pot, will prevent the relish from discoloring.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer: This will help to preserve the color and flavor of the peppers.
- Sterilize your jars and lids: This will help to prevent the relish from spoiling.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath: This will help to seal the jars and ensure that the relish is safe to store.
