Pepper Slaw Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the sugar and 2 teaspoons salt with the vinegar in a large bowl until dissolved. Add the celery seeds, mustard seeds, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the bell peppers, celery, scallions and cabbage, and toss to combine. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
• Add the mustard and mayonnaise to the slaw and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Wearing rubber or latex gloves, trim tops off chiles. Working in batches, pulse chiles, bell peppers, and onion in a food processor until chopped into fine bits, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to a nonreactive 3-quart pot.
• Stir sugar, vinegar, and salt into chile mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring more frequently toward end of cooking to prevent scorching, until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour or ladle relish into clean, wide-mouth, half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Apply clean lids. Enjoy immediately, store in fridge 2 to 3 weeks, or freeze up to 6 months.

Steps:

• 1. Cut and chop up peppers, onion, and cabbage. Run all of them through a coarse blade food chopper. Put in large container, add the salt, mix well, then cover and let stand overnight.
• 2. In the morning,drain the salt brine liquid from the slaw mixture. Fill water bath canner half full of water and put on to boil. Wash and sterilize jars and lids, drain on paper towel.
• 3. After draining brine from slaw add spices, sugar, pour enough cold vinegar to cover the mixture ( just to the top of the slaw) and put in a large pan and boil for 15 to 30 minutes.
• 4. Put hot slaw into pint jars and seal. (Make sure water in canner is up to the top of the jars.) Then add them to the boiling water bath canner and bring temperature to 212 degrees ( use cooking thermometer to gauge temp) Let boil for 5 minutes for pints. ( if you use quarts boil for 10 minutes.) If jar does not seal put relish in refrigerator for later use. Makes 14 pts. Sometimes I use quart jars if you do will have to add 5 minute more to the boiling water bath canner instructions.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, oil, water, salt, pepper and, if desired, pepper flakes. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil.
