Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup frozen cauliflower, thawed and cut into small pieces
1 cup frozen sliced carrots, thawed
1 cup frozen cut green beans, thawed
1 cup cut yellow wax beans, thawed
1 (8-oz) can(s) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained (or half of a 15-oz can)
1 cup frozen sweet corn, thawed
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the cauliflower, carrots, green beans, yellow beans, kidney beans, corn, onion and bell pepper in a large heat-proof bowl; set aside.
  • 2. In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring water, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, turmeric and salt to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour the boiling liquid over the vegetables, and use a large spoon to mix gently until well blended. Set the bowl aside to let vegetables cool.
  • 3. Once vegetables are cooled, cover the bowl and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve spoonfuls as a cooled (or room temperature) relish to accompany nearly any meat or poultry main dish (it's particularly great spooned over slices of roast pork).

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest corn possible. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your relish.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob. This will help to prevent the kernels from becoming crushed.
  • If you don't have time to can the relish right away, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to bring it to a boil before serving.
  • Canning the relish is a great way to preserve it for long-term storage. Properly canned relish can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
  • Enjoy the relish as a condiment on hot dogs, hamburgers, or sandwiches. It can also be used as a side dish or added to salads.
