How to Make Dill Cucumber Relish

  1. Coarsely chop 4 cups cucumbers, 2 cups onions, and 1 cup green bell pepper using a food processor or by hand.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers, onions, and green bell pepper.
  3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt evenly over the vegetables.
  4. Cover the vegetables with cold water and let stand for 4 hours to draw out excess moisture.
  5. Drain the vegetables thoroughly in a colander, pressing out as much liquid as possible.
  6. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 1 tablespoon celery seed, 1 tablespoon mustard seed, and 2 tablespoons dill seed.
  7. Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  8. Add the drained vegetables to the boiling vinegar mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  9. Pack the relish into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  10. Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids on jars, and tighten the bands firmly.
  11. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust processing time based on your altitude (consult a canning guide for specifics).
  12. Remove jars from the water bath and allow to cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
