Hot Pepper Relish Recipe

Do you love that Hot Pepper Relish that they put on your sub down at the sandwich shop?  I sure do.  Here is a great recipe I found to make it.  You can tune the heat by changing the type of pepper. I used peppers mostly from the “medium” range of heat.   Great for use on sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers, eggs, noodles, etc…

 

This recipe will make 1 quart, or enough to fill 4 of those ½ pint jars for canning. 

 

Ingredients:

·       2 cups of minced fresh Peppers (or about 12 Cherry Peppers, 2 large Pablanos & 4 Jalapeños)

·       ¾ cup of fresh minced Onion ( 1 medium red & 1 medium white)

·       3 cloves garlic

·       2 tsp salt

·       1 Tbs sugar

·       1 ½ Cups cider or wine vinegar

·       A few healthy shakes of Black Pepper

 

To Make:

·       Place minced peppers in a large bowl and pour boiling water over them, let steep for 5 minutes and then drain water.

·       Combine peppers and all other ingredients into pan and simmer on low for about 20 ~ 30 minutes or enough to soften the peppers and get the relish mix to correct consistency.

·       Place into jars and water-bath for long term storage or refrigerate for near-term use. 

 

 

CHEERS!
