How to Make Hot Jalapeno Pepper Relish

  1. Wash and remove stems from jalapeno peppers. Finely chop 2 pounds of jalapenos.
  2. In a 6-8 quart pot, combine the chopped jalapenos, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cups of white vinegar, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of celery seed. Mix well.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  5. Remove from heat. Carefully ladle the hot relish into sterilized pint or half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top of each jar.
  6. Run a clean plastic knife or utensil down the inside of each jar to release any trapped air bubbles.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
  8. Securely tighten the two-piece lids onto the jars.
  9. Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  10. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check seals; if any jars haven't sealed, refrigerate and consume within a week.
