Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 6 cups diced Vidalia onion
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1 medum yellow bell pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple (cored and grated)
  • 2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed
  • 1 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pickling spice
  • 2 Tbsp instant pectin

Directions

  1. 1

    In a heavy bottomed medium size saucepan heat 2 Tbsp vegetable oil. Add onion and peppers. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes until they begin to soften and turn translucent.

  2. 2

    To the saucepan add grated apple red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, celery seed, vinegar, mustard and sugar. Stir until dissolved.

  3. 3

    Tie the pickling spice in cheesecloth or place into a tea diffuser. Center in the saucepan. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    After 45 minutes, remove pickling spice and add 2 tablespoons instant pectin. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Let cool completely.

  5. 5

    Store chilled in the refrigerator, in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
