How to Make Spiced Ruby And Emerald Indian Pepper Relish Chutney

  1. Wash and roughly chop 2 lbs red bell peppers, 1 lb green chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 1 large onion, and 2 cloves garlic.
  2. In a large preserving pan, combine the chopped vegetables, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp nigella seeds, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat).
  3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 60-75 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat and carefully transfer the relish to sterilized jars, leaving a small amount of headspace.
  7. Seal the jars tightly. Label with the date and store in a cool, dark, and dry place for up to 1 year.
