I love, love, love H&D's Pepper and Onion Relish. It's sweet and spicy heaven. I put it on hamburgers, pork chops...or just eat it with a spoon out of the jar. For a festive treat, you can pour it over cream cheese and serve it with wheaty crackers. But in order to have my fill of this yummy condiment, I have to find an outlet mall or go online and order it. So I went online and found some recipes that I could tweak and I think I have come up with the perfect home-canned version.
Here it is:
Shirley & George's Pepper and Onion Relish
6 cups tomatoes, skinned, diced and drained
6 large red peppers, diced
8 cups sugar
2 T salt
2-3 boxes pectin (depends on how thick you like it)
3 cups white vinegar
1tsp ground red pepper or crushed red pepper
6 jalapenos (2 with seeds) seeded and diced
3 large onions diced (chunky dices)
Mix all ingredients together, except pectin and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours until thickened. Whisk in the boxes of pectin and let boil for 1 minute. Pour into sterile jars. Process in pressure canner at 11# for 15 minutes. Makes 7-8 pints
In my childhood memories my grandmothers always wore aprons...bib aprons with rick-rack...half-aprons with lots of pockets. Grandma Zetta and Grandma Patta taught me so many things. My love of family history and all things vintage is due to them. I have so many stories to tell and things to share. I hope you will enjoy them.
