Description

A vibrant and refreshing relish that combines bell peppers and onions with a balance of sweet and tangy flavors, perfect for enhancing grilled meats and summer dishes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 1 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Begin by finely chopping your bell peppers and onions, ensuring consistently sized pieces for even flavor distribution.
  2. Pour the chopped veggies into a large bowl and set aside for later.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, mustard seeds, and garlic powder. Stir gently as you bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Once it reaches a bubbling boil, carefully pour the hot mixture over the chopped peppers and onions in your mixing bowl, ensuring every piece gets infused with that sweet and tangy goodness.
  5. Allow the relish to cool to room temperature, then transfer it into sterilized jars. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight to let the flavors meld beautifully.
  6. Serve generously atop grilled meats, mix it into sandwiches, or dip chips into this relish for a fantastic appetizer.

Notes

Make-ahead tips enhance flavor. Customize with jalapeños for spice or apples for sweetness.
