How to Make Walla Walla Onion Relish

  1. Thinly slice the Walla Walla onions. If you prefer a less intense onion flavor, you can soak the sliced onions in ice water for 30 minutes to remove some of the pungency.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the sliced onions, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the onions are tender and translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Stir in the red wine vinegar, mustard seeds, and celery seeds.
  5. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the relish has thickened slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The relish will thicken further as it cools.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
