CANTALOUPE RELISH

Putting by summer's sun-ripened fruits for special eating during the winter appeals to many these days. The more unusual combinations are fun to do. If you don't wish to process in BWB, freeze. From an old newspaper clipping.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: For the best flavor, choose cantaloupe that is ripe and in season. Look for melons that are heavy for their size and have a deep, orange color.
  • Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for a combination of red and green bell peppers, but you can use any type of pepper you like. For a spicier relish, add a jalapeƱo or serrano pepper. For a milder relish, use all green bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the cantaloupe: Cantaloupe is a delicate fruit, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it just until it is softened and slightly translucent.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: This recipe calls for a moderate amount of sugar, but you can adjust it to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter relish, add more sugar. If you prefer a tarter relish, add less sugar.
  • Let the relish cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Cantaloupe relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for topping hot dogs, hamburgers, and brats. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or as a dip for chips. No matter how you choose to use it, cantaloupe relish is sure to be a hit.
