Summer Relish
Makes around 2 Pints
INGREDIENTS
- 1 small or ¼ – ½ of a medium sized cabbage, shredded
- 1 greenhouse long cucumber, or a few smaller cucumbers
- 1 small grated carrot
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small onions, chopped
- 1 medium bell pepper (or equivalent smaller sweet peppers), chopped
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard seed
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon crushed chili flakes or diced fresh hot pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup vinegar of choice (our favorite is Apple Cider Vinegar)
- OPTIONAL 1-2 Tablespoons raw honey (if simmering your relish, add honey in after it is cooled to warm)
INSTRUCTIONS
-
In a medium sized salad bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well using your hands to massage the cabbage and help break it down.
-
You can serve raw as is, or alternatively simmer for 10 – 15 minutes for a milder, more traditional relish.
- Let cool before serving. Store in a closed jar for two weeks.
- Serve on a sandwich, burger, hot dog, grilled meat, and enjoy!
NOTES:
Add an apple or other fruit for some extra sweetness and flavor!
