Onion Pepper Relish Food

PEPPER AND ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to a large, study stock pot. I used my dutch oven for this. Stir the ingredients together over medium heat.
• Stirring occassionally, cook for 2 hours until the ingredients break down, and the liquid evaporates. The end result should be deep red in colour and be almost as thick as ketchup.
• During the last 30-40 minutes of cooking, pay close attention to the relish. As the sauce thickens, there's more risk of the sauce burning. Stir more often and lower the heat a bit if you need to do so.
• While the sauce is cooking, prepare your canning jars by washing them thoroughly with hot, soapy water. Be sure to rinse the jars until the soap residue is gone. Set the jars aside. Next, boil a kettle full of water. Place the seals and jar rings into a large bowl. Pour the boiled water over top and let them sit.
• Prepare your canning pot for the water bath method. I use a large stock pot with a round metal cooling rack at the bottom so that the jars do not touch the bottom of the pot. Fill the pot half full with water and bring to full boil.
• Once the relish is cooked, use a ladle to spoon the relish into the prepared jars. I like to use a metal funnel to avoid any of the relish coming into contact with the rim of the jar. This will help to create a better and safer seal. Fill the jar so that only 1/2 inch of head space remains. Remove the funnel and place a hot, sterilized seal on the jar. Screw on the lid until just snug. Be careful! The jar will be hot! Use a kitchen towel to hold the jar in place as you screw on the lid.
• Using a jar lifter, place the filled jars into the large pot of boiling water. Bring the pot back to a boil and allow the jarred relish to remain in the boiling water for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the jars and place on a kitchen towel where they will not be disturbed. As the jars cool, you'll hear a popping sound. This is the hot liquid and air in the jar cooling down and contracting. This will create an air-tight seal and will allow you to store your relish for future consumption.
• For best results, I recommend allowing the jars to sit undisturbed for at least 12 hours. With a damp cloth, wipe down the jars, re-tighten the lids, and store in a dark, cool place. The relish will last for 12-18 months. Lastly, if you notice that a jar has not properly sealed, simply refrigerate that particular jar, and consume within the next 5-7 days. To test whether or not the jars are sealed, lightly press down on the seal. If the seal pops downward, the sealing process did not work.

HOT & SWEET PEPPER & ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Clean & remove seeds & membranes from bell peppers, can leave seeds & all for hot peppers for more heat.
• Finely chop peppers & onions, by hand or food processor.
• Combine all ingredients in non stick pot, bring to boil & simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
• Can be put in containers for fridge or canned.
• If you are canning, 10 minute minimum water bath, so cans are sealed properly.
• Use for meats, on cream cheese & crackers, or just use you imagination.

RED PEPPER AND ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Combine red bell peppers, onions, sugar, vinegar, and salt in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

PEPPER ONION RELISH

• Combine all ingredients in a nonreactive pot. Bring mixture to a simmer, and simmer until it is thick, about 30 minutes.

• Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry place.

HARRY & DAVIDS SWEET AND HOT PEPPER AND ONION RELISH CLONE

Steps:

• * Recipe called for two small boxes of pectin - I have no idea if a small box is 1 or 2 ounces so I guess at 2 ounces -- so be careful!
• Mix all ingredients together, except pectin and bring to a boil.
• Turn down and simmer for 2 - 2 1/2 hours until thickened.
• Whisk in the 2 boxes of pectin and boil for 1 minute.
• Pour into sterile jars.
• Process in pressure canner at #11 for 15 minutes.
• Notes: I increased the peppers and the ground red. I actually used scotch hots and it still lost some of the heat in the canning process. This always happens to me! Go ahead and be a little generous on the heat because it seems to leave the product after canning. Also, in using the 8 cups of sugar, you need the hot pepper to balance out the sweet.
• It seems like a long time to cook but it makes a beautiful transformation from orange/red to a deep jewel ruby red. It is necessary to cook it the 2 hours because it becomes thick (unlike fresh salsa that stays thin).
• Recipe reads that it makes about 7 pints. Not sure about that since I increased the vegetables. I would can in jelly jars because one mixed with 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese was plenty of dip.
• I did not pressure can. I water-boiled for 10 minutes. They all set up perfectly.
• It was a success. Tasted great, just wish it was a little spicier. I added cayenne to my cream cheese mixture.
