This cucumber relish is a delightful condiment that adds a sweet and tangy flavor to your dishes. Perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or as a side.
Chop the cucumbers, green peppers, and onions into small pieces.
Use a food processor for quicker chopping.
Place the chopped vegetables in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt.
Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Cover the vegetables with cold water and let them sit for 4 hours.
This step helps to draw out excess moisture from the vegetables.
Drain the vegetables thoroughly using a colander and press out excess liquid.
Press gently to avoid crushing the vegetables.
In a saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, celery seed, and mustard seed. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Add the drained vegetables to the saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Pack the hot relish into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace.
Use a funnel to make this step easier.
Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Ensure the jars are fully submerged in the water.
Let the jars cool and store them in a cool, dark place.
Check the seals before storing to ensure they are airtight.
