How to Make Hot Dog Relish

  1. Chop 1 large bell pepper (any color), 1 medium onion, and 1 cup of shredded green cabbage.
  2. Place the chopped vegetables in a large stainless steel or heat-resistant glass bowl. Add enough hot water to cover completely. Let stand for 15 minutes to soften the vegetables. Drain well and return to the bowl.
  3. In a separate saucepan, combine 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1/4 cup water.
  4. Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil over medium heat. Pour the boiling vinegar mixture over the drained vegetables.
  5. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Drain the vegetables thoroughly again.
  6. Transfer the drained vegetables to a stainless steel saucepan large enough to hold all ingredients. Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon celery seed. Stir well to combine.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove the mixture from the heat and let cool slightly.
  9. Ladle the hot relish into clean, sterilized 1-pint canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes to ensure proper sealing. (Always follow safe canning practices.)
  10. Once cool, store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2 weeks.
