How to Make Hot Sweet Pepper Onion Relish

  1. Clean and remove seeds and membranes from 2 pounds of bell peppers (leave seeds and membranes in 1 pound of hot peppers for extra heat).
  2. Finely chop the peppers and 1 large onion (approximately 1 pound) by hand or using a food processor.
  3. In a large non-stick pot, combine the chopped peppers, onion, 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds, and 1 teaspoon celery seeds. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the relish has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Once thickened, carefully ladle the relish into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
  5. For canning: Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude and jar size – consult a reliable canning guide for accurate times).
  6. Remove jars from the water bath, let cool completely, and check for proper seals. Store in a cool, dark place.
