How to Make Sauerkraut Relish

  1. Finely chop 1 medium onion, 1 green bell pepper, and 2 stalks celery.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups of drained sauerkraut, the chopped onion, green pepper, and celery. Add 1 tablespoon of celery seed.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of white vinegar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
