MOM'S HOMEMADE SWEET HOT DOG RELISH image

Title says hot dog relish, but we use it on anything and in alot of recipes for added flavor...it's like my 'secret' weapon! Use in potato or macaroni salad dressing, ham bbqs, sloppy joes, baked beans...yummmmm, gives just that extra layer of flavor but nobody seems to be able to figure what makes it that good! We make this...

Time 14h

Number Of Ingredients 14

************RELISH************
4 large onions
4 c ground cabbage
10 large green tomatoes
12 green bell peppers
6 sweet red bell peppers
1/2 c table salt
************SYRUP************
6 c granulated sugar
1 Tbsp celery seed
2 Tbsp mustard seeds
1-1/2 tsp turmeric, ground
4 c white vinegar
2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and cut vegetables in large chunks. Old method uses a hand grinder, but I do it now in my KA food processor. Grind all ingredients and place in a large stainless steel kettle. Add 1/2 cup table salt; cover and let stand overnight. Then, rinse well in strainer/colander. Return to kettle.
  • 2. Combine all syrup ingredients in glass or stainless steel bowl, then add to rinsed vegetables in kettle. Heat to almost boiling, then let simmer 3 minutes.
  • 3. Wash pint jars in hot, soapy water to sterilize. Boil lids & rings in hot water. Put relish into hot sterile jars, leave about 1" headspace and wipe rims well. Place lids and rings on, making sure they are tightly sealed. Set on rack or towels, let cool. As they seal, you will hear lids popping. Store in cool place.
  • 4. We always at least double this recipe, sometimes triple it if all vegetables are available. Can also put in quart jars, if desired.

I'm not a big fan of sweet hot dog relish, but this recipe is pretty good. It's not too sweet, and it has a nice spicy kick.

This relish is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my relish didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This relish is way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my relish turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much vinegar.

This relish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of extra cucumbers and onions, and this is a great way to use them up.

I love the fact that this relish is made with fresh vegetables. It gives it a really bright and flavorful taste.

I've tried a lot of sweet hot dog relish recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy.

This relish is so good, I could eat it straight out of the jar!

I was looking for a sweet hot dog relish recipe that didn't have any added sugar. This recipe fit the bill perfectly. It's naturally sweetened with pineapple juice and honey, and it's still plenty sweet.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this relish is surprisingly mild. It has just a hint of heat that adds a nice depth of flavor.

This relish was a huge hit at our last BBQ! It's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and it really takes hot dogs to the next level.
