Pickle Relish
Yield: 10 servings
This Pickle Relish recipe is fabulously flavorful, tangy, and fresh-tasting, and my quick-pickle method makes it a cinch. No canning needed!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups shredded, seeded English, Persian, or other thin-skinned cucumber variety See Notes for how to prep and shred.
- ¾ cup shredded carrot See Notes for how to shred.
- ¾ cup shredded green bell pepper See Notes for how to shred.
- ½ cup shredded sweet yellow onion See Notes for how to shred.
- 1 cup white distilled vinegar, divided
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons Morton kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
- ¼ teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 jar (4 ounces) diced pimentos, drained
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine cucumber, carrot, green pepper, and onion. Stir in ½ cup of the white vinegar. Turn heat to medium and bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, turning heat down a bit if needed. Drain and discard liquid (just use a saucepan lid to drain as well as you can, no need to dirty a strainer).
- Add remaining ½ cup white vinegar plus ½ cup water to the veggies in the saucepan, followed by the sugar, salt, mustard seeds, and dry mustard. Stir to combine, then gently simmer 5 minutes more.
- Remove saucepan from the heat, stir in pimentos, and let relish cool to room temperature.
- Use a large slotted spoon to transfer cooled relish to a 1-pint jar (for less mess, use a canning funnel), adding brine to just cover the vegetables. Add a tight-fitting lid to the jar and refrigerate for up to 10 days. Makes about 2 cups of relish.
Notes
To prep cucumbers: Slice cucumbers in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scrape out the seeds (discard seeds).
To shred all vegetables: Use the large holes on a box grater to shred all vegetables. Or use a food processor with a grating disc blade.
