Sweet Pepper Relish
Ingredients
  • 1 pound medium-hot red chile peppers, such as Fresnos or red jalapenos
  • 2 small red or orange bell peppers - stemmed, seeded, ribs removed
  • 1/2 large onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt
Instructions
1
Donning protective gloves, carefully remove the tops of the chiles. Process the chiles, bell peppers, and onion in a food processor until they reach a fine consistency, breaking them down into smaller pieces as you go. This may take around 1 minute per batch.
2
Transfer the mixture to a heat-resistant, non-reactive pot with a capacity of 3 quarts.
3
Combine the sugar, vinegar, and pickling salt in the pot with the chile mixture. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a medium setting and let it simmer for an extended period of time, stirring more frequently towards the end to prevent scorching. The mixture should thicken over time, requiring 20 to 30 minutes of cooking.
4
Divide the relish into wide-mouth jars with a capacity of ½ pint each, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top. Wipe the rims clean with a damp paper towel to remove any residue.
5
Allow the relish to cool to room temperature, which should take around 1 hour.
6
Once cooled, screw on the lids and store the jars in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks or freeze them for up to 6 months.
