Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2½ lbs cucumbers ((weighed prior to peeling and seeding),peeled, center row of seeds removed, and finely diced)
1 large yellow onion (,finely diced)
1 small red bell pepper (,finely diced)
1 small green bell pepper (,finely diced)
3 cloves garlic (,finely minced)
¼ cup kosher or pickling salt ((neither of these have additives which is important to avoid when canning))
3 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar ((optional or use less according to taste))
2 teaspoons dill seeds
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
2 teaspoons celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Place the diced cucumbers, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Combine with the salt and pour water over the mixture until covered. Let sit for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Drain the cucumber mixture in a colander, rinse thoroughly with water, and drain again.
  • In a large stock pot, add the sugar, vinegar, and spices and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the drained cucumber mixture and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaves.
  • Ladle the hot relish into hot sterile jars, leaving ¼ inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal tightly with the lids.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  • Sealed jars will store in a cool, dark place for a year. If the seal is broken, the relish will keep in the fridge for at least a month. Makes 4 pints (you can use pint-sized or half pint jars). Best eaten at least a week later after the flavors have had time to meld and the vinegar mellows out a bit.

EASY HOMEMADE DILL RELISH RECIPE



Easy Homemade Dill Relish Recipe image

Provided by The Prairie Homestead

Categories     Canning

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 pounds pickling cucumbers (big or small!)
1/2 cup non-iodized salt (I like this one)
2 teaspoons tumeric
2 medium onions, finely diced
1/3 cup organic sugar
2 tablespoons dill seed
1 tablespoon mustard seed
4 bay leaves
4 cups white vinegar

Steps:

  • Wash the cucumbers and peel if desired (I peeled about half of each one- I didn't mind leaving some of the peel on for color/texture, I just didn't want the peels to be overwhelming.)
  • Finely chop the cucumbers- I used the blade of my food processor, but I was careful to not overprocess and end up with cucumber puree.
  • Put the chopped cucumbers in a large bowl and mix in the salt and turmeric. Pour water over the cucumbers until they are completely covered and let them soak for 2-3 hours.
  • After the soaking period is complete, drain the cucumbers and rinse them under cool water. I used a fine-mesh sieve for this.
  • Placed the drain cucumbers in a stockpot and add in the chopped onions, sugar, dill, mustard seed, bay leaves, and white vinegar.
  • Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • At this point, I like to taste the relish to check the flavor balance and adjust accordingly. Add more sugar if you feel the vinegar is too strong.
  • Remove the bay leaves.
  • Ladle the relish into hot pint jars with 1/4″ headspace. Affix lids and rims, then process pints in a hot water bath canner for 15 minutes. (Altitude Note: Add an additional one minute of processing time for every 1000 feet you're above sea level.)

HOMEMADE DILL RELISH



Homemade Dill Relish image

I made this for the Low-Carb/Keto diet me and my husband are on. Only 5.8 net grams carbs per serving-I counted the entire thing as 8 servings. Just be sure and use dill pickle relish and not much lemon juice. You can also add white vinegar instead of the lemon juice for less carbs. I sometimes add dried dill to it.
