Simple Jalapeño Relish
Delicious, tangy, spicy jalapeño relish recipe using just 7 ingredients.
Servings 16 oz
Equipment
- Medium Sauce Pan
Ingredients
- 3 cups jalapeños finely diced
- 1 cup red onion finely diced
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper about 6 cracks
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 tsp celery seed toasted
Instructions
- Finely dice the jalapeños and red onions into small cubes, about 1/8 inch.
- Bring a medium sauce pan to medium heat. Add the celery seed and toast for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the rest of the ingredients (peppers, onions, sugar, salt, black pepper and vinegar) to the pan and stir thoroughly.
- Bring the mix to a simmer and allow to cook for about 10 minutes, uncovered.
- Remove from heat when some of the liquid has evaporated, but it is still somewhat watery or runny. The relish will thicken as it cools.
- Allow to cool and add to a clean glass jar.
- Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks or waterbath can for long term storage.

Notes
* If the relish comes out too thick, add a small splash of vinegar and stir. I like a more thin and runny relish (it is a condiment, after all!).
