Banana Pepper Relish
This easy banana pepper relish is a delicious condiment with perfectly tangy and sweet flavors.
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup banana peppers finely chopped
- 1 small red Fresno pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 cup white onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 yellow bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp mustard seed
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
Instructions
- In a medium pot, add the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seed, and celery seed. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the chopped banana peppers, red Fresno pepper, white onion, and minced garlic to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Continue to simmer the entire mixture for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the relish thickens and all the flavors meld together.
- Add the chopped yellow bell pepper and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until the yellow bell pepper starts to soften.
- Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and then transfer the relish to jars.
Notes
- Cooking the yellow bell pepper separately improves the texture of the relish significantly. It's worth the extra few minutes of cook time!
- To reduce the heat, use sweet banana peppers and replace the Fresno with a milder red pepper.
