How to Make Sweet Red Pepper Relish Spread
- Clean, seed, and finely chop 2 pounds of red bell peppers.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped peppers, 1 ½ cups sugar, ½ cup white vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes, or until the relish has thickened to your desired consistency. (The longer it simmers, the thicker it will become).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- For long-term storage, carefully ladle the relish into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints) or 15 minutes (for quarts) to ensure safe canning. Alternatively, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- Serve with crackers topped with a dollop of cream cheese.
