How do you make your relish elf?
Dill Relish
Ingredients
• 3 pounds Pickling Cucumbers (after peeling/seeding)
• 1 whole Large Sweet Yellow Onion
• 1 cup chopped red sweet bell pepper
• ¼ cups Pickling Or Kosher
salt
• 4 cups White Vinegar
• ¾ cups Sugar
• 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 2 teaspoons Dill Seed
• 2 teaspoons Mustard Seed
• 2 teaspoons Celery Seed
• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
• ½ teaspoons Turmeric
• 4 Pint-sized Canning Jars, Lids And Rings
Preparation Instructions
Finely chop the cucumbers and onions. Note: I used my food processor for chopping, but be careful not to over process. Place the chopped vegetables in a large nonreactive bowl and sprinkle with the pickling
salt. Stir well and allow to stand for 1 hour.
Drain the cucumber mixture in a colander; rinse with cold water and drain well.
In a large pan, bring vinegar, sugar, garlic, dill seed/weed, mustard seed, celery seed and turmeric to a boil over medium high heat.
Add the drained cucumber and onion mixture and return to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Pour into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Seal with lids and rings and process the jars in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
Makes 4 pints
