How to Make Hot Dog Or Bratwurst Relish
- Coarsely chop 4 large cucumbers (or 2 large zucchini) and roughly chop 1 large green bell pepper, 1/2 cup carrots (about 2 medium), and 1 medium yellow onion.
- Grind the chopped vegetables using a meat grinder. Alternatively, pulse them in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground vegetables with 2 tablespoons turmeric.
- Dissolve 2 tablespoons of salt in 4 cups cold water. Pour over the vegetable mixture. Let stand for 3-4 hours.
- Drain the vegetables and cover again with 4 cups of cold water. Let stand for another hour.
- Drain the vegetables thoroughly.
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon celery seeds, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the drained vegetable mixture.
- Let stand for 12-18 hours in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld.
- Before canning (optional): Heat the relish gently in a large saucepan to just below boiling point. This step improves shelf life when canning.
- If canning, prepare pint or half-pint jars and lids by sterilizing them in boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Fill the jars with the relish, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, add lids and rings, and tighten fingertip-tight.
- Place the filled jars in a canning kettle, ensuring the water covers the jars by at least 1 inch.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints) or 15 minutes (for half-pints).
- Remove the jars from the kettle and let cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal. If not, refrigerate and use promptly.
