Ingredients You’ll Need

To whip up this irresistible relish, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups thinly sliced bell peppers (mixed colors for a vibrant look)
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions to Create Your Relish

Now that you have all your ingredients, it’s time to make the relish:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
  2. Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. While the liquid is cooling, place the sliced bell peppers and red onion in a large glass jar or bowl.
  4. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the peppers and onions until they are fully submerged. You may need to press the vegetables down to ensure they’re all covered.
  5. Let the mixture cool to room temperature before sealing the jar or covering the bowl with plastic wrap.
  6. Refrigerate the relish for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld together. It’s even better after a few days!
