Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups cucumbers ((about 4 medium), chopped)
  • 2 cups onions ((about 2 medium), chopped)
  • 1 cup green bell pepper ((about 1 medium), chopped)
  • 1 cup red bell pepper ((about 1 medium), chopped)
  • ¼ cup sea salt
  • 3 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon celery seeds
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seed
  • 2 cups apple cider vinegar

Instruction

  • To sterilize your jars, preheat the oven to 225° F. Place jars on a baking sheet and bake in oven for at least 20 minutes.When the jars are about done, fill a small saucepan with water and add jar lids and rings. Place on the stovetop over low to medium heat and bring water to 180° F.
  • Combine chopped cucumbers, onions and green and red peppers in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and cover with cold water. Allow it to sit for 2 hours.
  • Rinse and drain thoroughly, making sure to strain all of the extra water out so you don't end up with soupy relish.
  • Combine sugar, spices and vinegar in a large pot and bring to a rolling boil. Add drained vegetables and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Pack relish into your hot jars, leaving about ¼ inch at the top. Remove any air bubbles, wipe jar rims and secure hot jar lids and rings on the tops of the jars.
  • Add jars to a large pan of boiling water using jar lifters. There should be about 1" of water covering the jars. If there is more than that, remove some with a ladle. Cover with lid.Process for 10 minutes, then lift jars out using jar lifters. Set the jars of homemade relish on a clean towel or heat-safe surface to cool.
