Time 13h

Yield 200

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large red bell peppers
4 large green bell peppers
4 large yellow bell peppers
40 cups grated Vidalia onions
ΒΌ cup kosher salt
2 large heads cabbage, finely shredded
3 tablespoons kosher salt
9 cups white sugar
2 quarts apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons ground turmeric
3 tablespoons mustard seed
1 tablespoon celery seed

Steps:

  • Roast red, green, and yellow bell peppers over an open flame or in broiler, turning frequently, until skins are charred and blistered. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic; let sit 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skins. Cut peppers in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds and stem, and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
  • Place grated onions in a colander to drain liquid. Place them in a large bowl, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Mix by hand. Mix in cabbage and 3 tablespoons salt by hand. Let sit 1 hour.
  • Place onions and cabbage into colander, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place in cheese cloth or towel, and squeeze out additional water.
  • Place cabbage and onions into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add roasted bell peppers. Stir in sugar, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, mustard seed, and celery seed. Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly to prevent onions from sticking to the bottom. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring often.
  • To prepare jars you first need to wash jars then place them into the canning pot with rack and boil them in water to sterilize them. Fill a small pot half way with water and bring to simmer; place the lids into water. Taking one jar out of the water at a time put on canning funnel and fill with hot relish about 1/2 inch from the top. Then take a kitchen knife a stick down to the bottom of jar and work the knife around to remove all air bubbles. Wipe off top of jar very well and clean then place a hot lid on jar the screw ring on top. Repeat until all relish is gone. Jars and relish must stay hot throughout this canning process.
  • Place in a bath of simmering water, covering the jars by one inch. Process for 10 minutes, or according to your local extension's guidelines. When jars start to seal and vacuum, the lids will make a pop sound and your canning was a success. Once jars have been opened, store in the refrigerator and use within two weeks.

VIDALIA ONION-CRANBERRY RELISH



Vidalia Onion-Cranberry Relish image

I made this the first time when I hosted Thanksgiving at my home for my family (deviating from the "ordinary" cranberry sauce.) Since then I've been asked to make this relish for Christmas, Easter, and any other holiday that involves a Turkey. Yummy, yummy. It is easy to make and one of those great recipes that you can make well in advance to take some stress from the day.

Time 45m

Yield 1/4 cup servings, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large vidalia onions or 1 large other mild sweet onion, cut into thin wedges
1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup craisins (I use "Craisins" to stay with the theme) or 1/4 cup raisins (I use "Craisins" to stay with the theme)
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 dash salt
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
4 inches cinnamon sticks
1 (12 ounce) package cranberries (3 cups)
1 cup water

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet cook onion in margarine or butter for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add raisins, wine, and salt. Cook and stir 1 minute more.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1 cup water; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Add 2 cups of the cranberries and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add remaining cranberries; cook 3 to 5 minutes more or until berries pop, stirring occasionally. Remove cinnamon sticks. Stir in onion mixture. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Cover and chill at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Vidalia onions are the best choice for this relish, as they are sweet and mild. If you can't find Vidalia onions, you can use another type of sweet onion, such as Walla Walla or Maui.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to slice the onions thinly and evenly.
  • Cook the onions over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
  • Add the sugar and vinegar gradually: This will help the relish to thicken and develop a balanced flavor.
  • Let the relish cool completely before storing it: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Vidalia onion relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for grilled meats, fish, or vegetables, and can also be used as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or hot dogs.
