How to Make Cucumber Relish
- Combine sliced cucumbers and chopped onions in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and gently toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- After 15 minutes, drain the cucumbers and onions thoroughly in a colander. Press gently to remove as much liquid as possible.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, celery seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the drained cucumbers and onions to the boiling vinegar mixture.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cucumbers are tender-crisp and the relish has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Once cooled, transfer the relish to a sterilized jar or container.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
