How to Make Old Fashioned Pickle Relish Traditional Or Spicy
- Combine 4 cups chopped cucumbers, 2 cups chopped onions, and 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color) in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of salt and cover completely with cold water.
- Add a layer of ice cubes on top to ensure the relish is fully submerged.
- Let stand for 2-12 hours in the refrigerator.
- Thoroughly drain the vegetables, pressing out as much excess liquid as possible.
- In a large stainless steel kettle, combine the drained vegetables, 4 cups sugar, 2 cups white vinegar, 1 tablespoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric.
- For the spicy version, add 1-2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes (or to taste).
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Ladle the hot relish into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude – consult a reliable canning guide for precise instructions).
- Remove jars and allow to cool completely. Check for seals; any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and consumed promptly.
