Delicious, tangy, spicy jalapeño relish recipe using just 7 ingredients.

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)

Directions

  1. 1

    Finely dice the jalapeños and red onions into small cubes, about 1/8 inch.

  2. 2

    Bring a medium sauce pan to medium heat. Add the celery seed and toast for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the rest of the ingredients (peppers, onions, sugar, salt, black pepper and vinegar) to the pan and stir thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Bring the mix to a simmer and allow to cook for about 10 minutes, uncovered.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Allow to cool and add to a clean glass jar.

  7. 7

    Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks or waterbath can for long term storage.
